I posted this in the Ask an Apologist forum, but they haven’t answered and I’m impatient so thought I would see what you had to say:
One of the priests who offers Daily Mass at our parish regularly says “This is my body which is given up for you” instead of “which will be given up for you.” I know it’s not a big difference but they do mean different things and the Consecration is important . I wonder if he does it unconsciously (he doesn’t do anything else particularly innovative… well, except offering the Anointing of the Sick to anyone who felt they needed healing of any sort, whether mental or physical (about twenty parishioners went up, in a line), and the time just before Christmas he offered general absolution since there weren’t to be any more confessions…) and I should inform him. But it would be unbelievably awkward to go up to a priest and say “Father, are you sure you have the Consecration right?”
I have tried to ignore it, but it’s a little hard, but should I try harder?
