Clear signing for the New Roman Missal ASL Project The series of videos is at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD9E59041BADF3F93 This is a sketch of a work in progress. The work is to document a study of translations of the New Roman Missal into clear ASL. This project and others will be helpful to you as well. Here is another project that is very developed and professional. You might know some of the people involved: http://www.adw.org/service/interpreter_training_newromanmissal.asp The Catholic Bishops of the United States tell us on their youtube site the following about the Roman Missal: "The Roman Missal, Third Edition, the ritual text containing prayers and instructions for the celebration of the Mass, has been approved by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. First use of the new text of the new Roman Missal will be on the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011. http://www.usccb.org/romanmissal/ For more about this study Fr. Shawn said in our recient newsletter: "As you may know, the Catholic Church in the United States is undergoing a preparation for the New Roman Missal which will start in use for Masses on the First Week of Advent at the end of November. You may be wondering and curious about what the new signing responses will be like and how priests will sign their parts during Mass. The changes may seem overwhelming and mysterious. However, from my awesome experience through participation in a 3-day ASL New Roman Missal Workshop with our dear friends, Fr. Michael Depcik of Detroit, Michigan; Msgr. Glenn Nelson of Rockford, Illinois; and Sr. Kathleen Schipiani of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we all worked and studied so diligently from early morning to late evening on each day. Wow! With the good grace of God, we had done very well using the Latin verses, analyzing and understanding their meaning in depth and discussing the signing concepts based on the Latin verses. We now feel very confident that most of the signing concepts are much clearer and compatible with the Latin language in the old Mass. They even look very formal and rich. However, we still have some developments left over to work on especially the Creed and the Our Father prayer. Anyway, I ask all of you to please save the following dates in the fall for a one-hour workshop on the new signings of the New Roman Missal to be held at Sacred Heart after 10:30am ASL Mass: September 18th, October 16th & November 20th. I encourage all of you to make every effort to attend all of these workshops to help us, each other better prepare for the new changes in our ASL Masses. It will make the transition even more smooth." I hope you enjoy this study in ASL. View comments, related videos, and more on Youtube or leave coments below. We are looking for feedback.

Here is a rough of things on the day in Madrid when the Pope arrived. Wow. It is hard to explain the reaction of the youth. He was hitting home runs right and left, referring to "absolute truth", saying that, "he could give wings to our freedom", encouraging the new movements within the Church.
