Vox Clara says translation of Mass prayers could be ready in mid-2007
VATICAN CITY (CNS) – The Vatican could approve the new English translation of the main Mass prayers as early as mid-2007 if the work of its advisory committee proceeds as planned, the committee said. The Vox Clara Committee, which includes a dozen bishops from eight English-speaking countries, met Dec. 4-5 at the Vatican. Over the past year, most of the world’s English-speaking bishops’ conferences have approved a new translation of the Order of the Mass, which includes all the prayers – such as the Gloria, creed and eucharistic prayers – used regularly in daily and Sunday Masses. The Latin-rite bishops of India, among the last to consider the new translation prepared by the International Commission on English in the Liturgy, are expected to vote on it during their January plenary meeting. The Vox Clara Committee has been reviewing the translations approved by the bishops’ conferences at the request of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, which must give its permission – or “recognitio” – for the translations to be used.
