The new translation of the Mass promises to help Catholics “enter more deeply into the mystery of the faith” in a way that continues the Second Vatican Council’s liturgical renewal, Archbishop José H. Gomez has said.
“We become what we pray,” he wrote in his Aug. 20 column in the Los Angeles archdiocesan paper The Tidings. “The prayer of our Eucharistic worship is meant to make us become more like Jesus Christ.”

Archbishop Gomez described how the new translation “restores the beauty of the original Latin” and lets Catholics hear “the many Scriptural allusions that are woven into the fabric of the Mass.”
It helps unite worship on earth to “the liturgy of heaven,” he added.
