CD 000/00 DECREEDECREE OF CONFIRMATION xiixiiiFOREWORDThe Missale Romanum, revised by decree of the Second Vatican Council and pub-lished by authority of Pope Paul VI in 1970, was translated into English by theInternational Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) and submitted to thebishops conferences of the English-speaking world in 1973.

6 Since then, a secondtypical edition of the Latin book with minor emendations and additions was pub-lished by the Apostolic See in 1975. In addition numerous other ritual books, direc-tories, and instructions have been issued which supplement or modify the contentsof the Missal, for instance, the directory for Masses with Children (1973) and thesecond edition of the Ordo Lectionum Missae (1981).Both the mandate given by the conferences of bishops in 1964 and the ApostolicSee s Instruction on the Translation of Liturgical Texts (1969) gave ICEL the duty ofrevising all its translations after a suitable period of use and of supplementing thetranslations from the Latin with additional texts newly composed in English. Ac-cordingly, after formal consultations with all the bishops and dioceses of the Eng-lish-speaking world in 1982 and 1986, ICEL undertook the work of revising the1973 translation in the light of extended use, of supplementing it with new composi-tions in the English language, and of arranging and presenting its contents in a morepastorally useful form.

7 This revised and expanded edition, approved by the respec-tive conferences of bishops and confirmed by the Apostolic See, is now issued intwo volumes as The Roman Missal: The TEXTSThe presidential prayers have been translated afresh in the light of thorough re-search and critical comment upon the 1973 Missal. The texts of the Order of Mass,on the other hand, which are more familiar to the people, have been changed onlywhere necessary for greater clarity in the light of the Latin or to avoid languageincreasingly perceived as discriminatory. Several texts in the Order of Mass are usedin common by most English-speaking Christians; these were prepared and revisedby an international ecumenical body, the English Language Liturgical Consultation,and are included in this Sacramentary as recommended by the ecumenical directivesof the Apostolic COMPOSED IN ENGLISHT hroughout the Sacramentary , additional texts have been supplied, newly com-posed in English, which reflect the genius of the English language and the sharedliterary heritage and religious experience of the English-speaking the Order of Mass, additional prefaces and interpolations for the eucharisticprayers as well as solemn blessings are provided for seasons or occasions not in-cluded in the Latin Missal.

8 Additional introductions and invitations are given for theopening rites and communion the Proper of Seasons, alternative opening prayers are given for each Sundayand solemnity in each year of the Lectionary cycle. They replace the alternativeopening prayers of the 1973 Missal, which were paraphrases and expansions of theFOREWORDxivLatin collects. These new prayers draw upon the concrete and vivid images from theScriptures and conclude in a clearly focused petition. They take their inspirationfrom the assigned readings of the day but do not depend on a prior hearing of thosereadings to be few new prayers over the gifts and prayers after communion have been addedto reduce the repetition of a limited number of regularly recurring prayer texts onweekdays of the additions have been made to the Masses and Prayers for VariousNeeds and Occasions, in order to reflect a broader range of concerns and occasionsin the contemporary experience of English-speaking in the case of the original prayers within the propers clearly designated as alternative opening prayers, all other original texts are indicated in the right-handmargin by a siglum ( ).

9 MUSICThe musical settings provided in the 1973 Missal have likewise been revised orreplaced after consultation among those who have used them. Basic musical settingsare provided in the Order of Mass as models for all those elements which ought to besung; in addition, a sung version of the entire Order of Mass includes settings for theeucharistic prayers and all other elements which may occasionally be sung, in wholeor in MATERIALIn the light of twenty years accumulated experience of the 1973 Missal and inresponse to the common needs of the Church in English-speaking countries, thisedition contains some supplementary materials intended to facilitate better plan-ning, more informed choice, and more sensitive celebration of : The Order of Mass in both volumes and other major celebrations with adistinctive shape, principally those of the Easter Triduum, are preceded by a sche-matic structural outline showing at a glance the sequence and articulation of theircomponent Introductions: These introductions are offered as a resource to assist allthose involved in the planning, preparation, celebration, and catechesis of the lit-urgy in English-speaking countries, which share many elements of a common cul-ture and a common pastoral experience.

10 They supplement and reinforce the contentsof the General Instruction of the Roman Missal and apply them to the experienceand needs of the English-speaking countries as expressed through the consultationswith the bishops. The pastoral introductions clarify and systematise material scat-tered throughout the General Instruction and rubrics of the Missal by bringing to-gether relevant materials and norms from other rites and subsequent documents ofthe Apostolic See bearing on the celebration of Mass. They reinforce the rubrics anddirectives of the General Instruction and promote their observance by offering fur-ther reasons and arguments for them and indicating good practice in the light ofcommon pastoral introductions appear at the beginning of each section and season of theSacramentary; somewhat fuller introductions are supplied before each of the majorcelebrations of the Triduum, and an extensive introduction is given for the Order ofMass.
