Liturgical Information: The New Translation- “And with your spirit” - One of the first things we notice with the new translation is that, when the priest says “The Lord be with you”, we now say “And with your spirit”. This is much closer to the original Latin and it is a very biblical response. Paul ends four of his letters with a similar expression. The new translation brings unity to this response in all the languages of the world., and with all previous Christian generations.
Primary 4 parents—The Piety Stall has a selection of books about the lives of the Saints on sale which may be helpful with preparation for Confirmation.
Piety Stall rota—Volunteers (aged 16 or over) urgently needed after 12noon Mass. Please contact Anne MacIntosh 931 5861 or Annamaria Strachan 942 9799.
