I think one of the big tasks for us, the lay faithful who welcome the changes, is to present the changes as a positive for the Church and the world. In doing so, I see the challenge as defence, but not in the strident, "I understand liturgy better than you because I read Father Z" sense. We will be presented with situations in which our fellow parishioners and others will react antagonistically and seek our approval for their opprobrium. It is in these instances, with calm and humble responses, with docility and joy, where we can convert. I pray that we always remain joyful in our liturgical conversations with our fellow Catholics! By the way, Jeffrey Pinyan's <strong>Praying the Mass</strong> is an excellent guide to the new translation and will help with your encounters with your family and others: <a href="http://www.prayingthemass.com/">http://www.prayingthemass.com/</a> Agreed Joe.
