Corrections and note I should have added to significant events of last year the introduction in Austria of the rebel movement of priests against doctrine and morals which as I write has not been really dealt with. This infection has spread to Ireland and other countries on a small scale at the moment and is supported by We are Church movement here .
NOTE thanks for two comments. I am afraid that I cannot withdraw my objection to the word "ineffable" which even I had never heard of until recently and would be meaningless to the majority of listeners and readers. I admit it is a difficult word to put into English in anything less than 3 words...the words Patricius mentioned. I cannot see the point either of changing "offering" into "oblation" in EP 3. and other places.As a commenter points out , the original 1998 version was far better. (See comment for full reference). Next post Friday. Interesting note about Bp Konstant as well.

Dear Father, peace.
Is it really necessary that we understand every single word in the Liturgy? Do you think that everyone present concentrates on every word spoken? It is as much a matter of the heart as of the mind, poetry as much as prose. Even the words we do understand point to divine mysteries that are utterly beyond our comprehension.
I cannot imagine the question arising for those who participate in the Liturgies of the Eastern Rites. Please keep sharing your reflections with us.
