Follow Up on Saint Joseph
The following official and semi-offical items were released today by Rome and the US Bishops:
In Eucharistic Prayer II:
that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
with the blessed Apostles …In Eucharistic Prayer III:
with the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
with your blessed Apostles and glorious Martyrs …In Eucharistic Prayer IV:
with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
with blessed Joseph, her Spouse,
and with your Apostles …
It does beg the question, though, about the other Eucharistic Prayers found in the Missale Romanum: the two “For Reconciliation” and the four “For Use in Masses for Various Needs”.
Is a separate decree forthcoming on these? Or have they been forgotten? Or rightfully deprecated?
