Pastoral Meanderings: So much for those predicting a train wreck in Rome's new translation of the liturgy...

So much for those predicting a train wreck in Rome's new translation of the liturgy...

It was predicted by some that the move toward more traditional vocabulary and a more faithful translation of the Latin would result in profound problems....

Aside from the priests who are, perhaps, still adapting the language in their own way and ad libbing the Mass (those with S. J. behind their name),. it seems that most Roman Catholic church goers have reconciled quickly and easily with the changes...

Any trends here worth noting for non-Romans?

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
