The New Roman Missal: The Gloria

From the First Sunday of Advent, when we begin to use the new translation of the Roman Missal, until Christmas, we won’t say the Gloria. Don’t worry; that beautiful song of praise to God has not been eliminated from the Mass. It is simply never said during Advent or Lent. (The only exception will be on December 8^th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, when it is included.)

Nevertheless, I want to tell you what to expect, for the Gloria will change more than any other prayer that the people say. I think it’s easiest to show you a side-by-side comparison. Changes are in bold.

Current Translation New Translation

Glory to God in the highest, Glory to God in the highest,

and peace to his people on earth. and on earth peace to people of good will.

Lord God, heavenly King We praise you,

almighty God and Father, we bless you,

we worship you, we give you thanks, we adore you,

we praise you for your glory. we glorify you,

we give you thanks for your
