The Isles
Scotland's last seminary is about to close its doors. And members of what could be the last generation of priests in Scotland are offering their thoughts. They are the last priests training in Scotland. Scotus College in Bearsden, the only remaining seminary for Catholic priests in the country, is due to close in a matter of weeks: the end of Catholic seminary life in Scotland.
The Scottish seminarians will now train at Ireland's lone surviving seminary, Maynooth (there were 7 seminaries across Ireland 20 years ago). This year's new class of seminarians is the largest in 10 years: 36 new students.
At the end of September the number of seminarians in Maynooth will be 77 (7 of them transferring from Scotland).

Pro multis = for many
At least it is faithfully translated:
| Eucharistic Prayer II Institution Narrative | Before he was given up to death, a death he freely accepted, he took bread and gave you thanks. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT IT: THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT: THIS IS THE CUP OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND EVERLASTING COVENANT. IT WILL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR ALL SO THAT SINS MAY BE FORGIVEN. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. | Who, as he was handed over and entered willingly into his Passion, took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT: FOR THIS IS MY BODY WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. In the same way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice and, once more giving you thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying: TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT: FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT; WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. |
The new translations for the new Missal

For example:
For example:
| PRESENT TEXT | NEW TEXT | |
| Greeting | Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. | Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And with your spirit. |
| Penitential Act, Form A (Confiteor) | I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have sinned through my own fault, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin, | I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. |

85th anniversary of Father Jaki's birth
Today would have been Father Jaki's 85th birthday. I thought I would post some photos of Father as I most often saw him: saying utterly fascinating things and cracking subtle but sidesplitting jokes.
At Catholic University in Washington, D.C., August 2007.
Atop the North American College, just before his final lecture. Father loved to meet new people.
With Father Agius at the Angelicum, Rome 2008.
Catching Mary when she least suspected it! (At the Angelicum, March 2008)
Regaling Don Oscar Maixe and me with stories of his student days in Rome in the late 1940s (in the rooms of St. Philip Neri at San Girolamo della Carita, March 2009).

Father had an immense gift for friendship and loved young people [ok, and some not so young! O:)].
