Understanding Question

[KatFraylick]

I am wondering why we say “sin” at the beginning of mass during the Glory to God and “sins” during the end of mass with the Lamb of God?
For some reason I have a feeling is has to do with original “sin” at the beginning and our own sins we have commited during the end of mass but I just want to be sure in my thinking.
Thanks for any information or knowledge!

Great question. I wonder if there is theological reason or if it is more related to translating from the Latin. It will be interesting to find out.

It’s probably a translation issue of some sort. The new translation of the Mass, which will hopefully be in use within the next year or two, has us saying sins instead of sin in the Gloria.

Inconsistent and bad translating on the part of ICEL in the 70’s.
