It's a year since we began using the new translation for the Order of Mass. We had a alumni group in celebrating 50 years - one of the qualities they have is keen participation - you can certainly hear the responses. As we begin September our Mass setting begins to change. There did not seem to be any hesitation in the Mass of Creation.
The alumni also wanted to sing Panis angelicus and Ave Maris Stella. The confidence exhibited in responses also can mean a certain myopia to a regular congregation. It had been suggested that we would sing Ave Maris Stella after the final hymn gathering round the icon of Mary given by the Pope. I realised that I viewed the hymn differently to the group - that the words had a specific meaning; to the group the meaning was that they had sung when they were students I am not sure the specifics of the text were relevant.
