From the Twin Cities Mass Settings Blog

I recently recommended this blog as an interesting source of reflection on the music that will be used in the newly translated Missal. Here are his thoughts and some links on helping children to learn about the new Missal.

A while back, I mentioned I would post some resources on the forthcoming Roman Missal geared to children and youth. In fairness, I need to thank my wife Wendy for alerting me to some of these.This first link feartures some resources from Benziger for deepening understanding of the Eucharistic liturgy and the revised Mass texts. The site also includes textbook updates and additional catechetical resources from the “Blest Are We” textbook series. http://www.rclbenziger.com/Pages/Item/2079/Roman-Missal.aspx
Here are some resources from Liturgy Training Publications, also the publisher of “What’s New About the Mass” booklets and teacher guides for both elementary and teen age students:http://www.revisedromanmissal.org/ and activity sheets: http://revisedromanmissal.org/Portals/9/Resources_Images/WNM_FiB.pdf
My friend and colleague Denise Anderson was responsible for seeing through to completion two items from Ligori Publications. One is a concise guide to the Revised Roman Missal for adults written by our own Fr. Joe Weiss, SJ of St. Thomas More Parish, and the other is a delightful short guide for children:http://www.liguori.org/productdetails.cfm?PC=11905http://www.liguori.org/productdetails.cfm?PC=11906
Two by Fr. Paul Turner. The first was written for use in New Zealand: “New Words. Deeper Meaning. Same Mass” www.catholic.org.nz/_uploads/_ckpg/files/Missal%20Catechesis%20Guide.pdfHere he is addressing twelve of the most common concerns regarding the translation: http://www.dsj.org/being-catholic/worship/roman-missal/articles-bulletin-inserts-and-faqs
