Illuminated missal from Cologne open to the beginning of the Canon, c. 1075
A Sneak Peak at the New Missal from Adoremus
The inimitable Helen Hull Hitchcock posts a new article on the Englishing of the missal by Vox Clara including some absolutely spectacular new translations--I'd go as far to call them heart-wrenchingly good. Check out the new beginning of the ancient Te igitur (Eucharistic Prayer I), so mangled by ICEL's 1973 translation:
Most merciful Father,
we therefore humbly pray and implore You
through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord,
to accept and bless +
these gifts, these offerings,
these holy and undefiled sacrifices...
Rejoice, rejoice and again I say rejoice!
