The Vatican has confirmed that the name of St. Joseph will now be included in all of the Eucharistic Prayers regularly used at Mass.:highprayer:

In a decree made public on June 19, the Congregation for Divine Worship said that Pope Francis authorized the addition of the name of St. Joseph to Eucharistic Prayers II, III, and IV. It had already been added to Eucharistic Prayer I, the Roman Canon, by Blessed John XXIII.

The Vatican decree, which had been widely reported before it was formally released, included the specific language to be added:
  • In Eucharistic Prayer II:
    that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
    with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
    with the blessed Apostles …
  • In Eucharistic Prayer III:
    with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
    with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
    with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs …
  • In Eucharistic Prayer IV: with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
    with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
    and with your Apostles …
  • The use of the new wording can begin immediately. :harp:

Amen. St. Joseph has helped me so many times, I’ve lost count. 🙂
 
So . . . how does this work? Do parishes have to buy expensive new lectionaries (I think that’s what they’re called) only two years after having just replaced them, or is the modification put on a sticky-note, or is the priest expected to do it from memory?
 
This is great. I can’t believe he was never part of it in the first place.

Unless the conferences of bishops put out some kind of insert, I guess the parishes will have to purchase new missals.

It is entirely up to the pastor. This is the same thing that happened when St. Joseph’s name was added to the Canon of the Mass in 1962. Most priests just neatly wrote in the missal an arrow with a notation (sometimes typed, sometimes handwritten) with the words.

This change has nothing to do with the lectionary, only the missal. Some pastors will want to purchase new a new altar missal (they are not THAT expensive for a parish–$80 for chapel size and $143 for full size), while others will be fine with the manual notations.
 
How very apropos that St. Joseph be named in this most important part of the Mass. With the egregious attack against marriage and human sexuality now, may his intercession be strong and his influence prevail over that of modern society.

I kind of doubt that the publishing houses that print the Roman Missal will re-print for so short an addition. There are only two ‘big’ publishing houses that print Chapel & Altar Missals, so… I’ll likely just pencil it into both my hand Missal and Chapel edition!

This is great !

Those of us in the EF community are ahead of the curve on this as Bl. John XXIII added St. Joseph to the Canon of the Mass back in 1962.

St Joseph is a great patron and powerful with God. 🙂

This addition was also carried over into EPI in the OF.

The announcement is that St. Joseph is also being added to EPII, III, and IV. St. Joseph has always been in EPI in the OF.

Good to know. 🙂

I don’t know many OF priests who say the Roman Canon (EP 1)* except *occasionally on solemn feasts and holy days.
 
Today at Mass our pastor added the change to Eucharistic Prayer 2 and then explained the change at the end of Mass. The congregation was pleased, and many a “praise God” were heard.

Oh, I can guarantee you that they will, so that they can claim that it is the latest edition. Bookstores will sell what they can for now, but publishers (including Catholic ones) live for being able to sell church items anew. And a good number of pastors will buy it, too, because they don’t like handwritten notations on the pages–enough to justify the reprint.

The same situation prevailed in 1962. A new edition of the Roman Missal had been promulgated in 1960, with a significant change of rubrics, so most parishes purchased that. Then, in 1962, the addition of St. Joseph’s name in the Canon (and the four Gallican prefaces in the appendix) caused the new edition to be printed. Many pastors simply hand-wrote St. Joseph’s name in the Canon of the Mass, but others purchased the new missal, because they disliked defacing the missal. Fifty years later, if anything, I think that more priests have been conditioned by marketing and advertising, and will want the latest edition on that basis, even beyond what had been written above.

Book publishers have to eat, too. 🙂

That would be my understanding too. New copyrights, etc.

Hundreds of vernaculars would be affected as well.

No doubt there will be a debate about whether “her Spouse” should be used vs “Spouse of the same Virgin” which John XIII chose to use.
The language of the decree says “henceforth” and in:
