What do you still struggle with remembering in the new translation?

Keep in mind that in the USA, anyway, it has not even been three months. All will work fine.

The Gloria and the Creed as I’m still on automatic with the previous translation, so I need to look at the pew card every once in a while. Everything else I’ve got down pretty well now.

Parish picked up “And with your spirit” pretty easily. Some “And also with your spirit.”

We were having problems with the Gloria at the 5 p.m. Saturday Mass. Then the Monsignor had us learn the chant version in the back of the missalette. Now that we are concentrating on singing it, most of the problems on the Gloria are now gone.

Creed is problematic at points.

The Preface dialogue is problematic at the “The Lord be with you” but not at the “Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.”

Problem at “Lord I am not worthy” because everyone is kneeling and its hard to kneel and have their misalettes/prayer cards.

Weird thing is that the prayer cards are still being handed out when the missalette (J.S. Paluch/WLP) has the new translations.
 
The only part I still have to read is the Creed. I know if I just sat down and studied it I could have it memorized in 15 minutes, just haven’t gotten around to it. That’s actually how I memorized the “old” Creed when I was in RCIA. I was volunteering in a pregnancy help center and had nothing to do one day, so I sat at the desk, wrote the Creed down, and read it through until I memorized it. It only took about 15 minutes.
 
  1. In the Confetior - “that I have greatly sinned” (but I do remember “through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault” and the breast-striking)
  2. In the Orate Fratres response - “for our good and the good of all His holy church”

This week I found myself in London on business. We didn’t have any of the “helper cards” that we have at our parish back in the States. I was pleased that I remembered more than I thought I would but did stumble quite a bit in the Creed. It’s just going to take time.

People will have assumed it was your teeth chattering from the cold! 🙂
 
There are parts of the Nicene Creed that I still have to make sure I am reading either off a pew card or projected response as the older version I had pretty much memorized. I do remember the bow during the words of the incarnation, and its good that that at one parish the priest reminds people of the bow before the Creed is recited.
