That's why we have just spent 18 years re-translating the Missal. The new translation is faithful and elegant. The instruction hopes the language of our worship will influence the language of our lives. One thinks of how sacred music is different, and how it helps us to transcend ordinary routines. But there is also a risk.
ICEL translations try to use the language of the people so the liturgy can be truly their prayer.
It is not sufficient that a formula handed down from some other time or region should be translated verbatim, even if accurately, for liturgical use. The formula translated must become the genuine prayer of the congregation and in it each of its members should be able to find and express himself or herself. The new norms shift the focus from the liturgy as the prayer of this particular gathering to the liturgy as the prayer of the ancient and universal Church. Surely it needs to be both, and the art of translation is to enable each congregation to pray the prayer of the whole Church. The Congregation even wants the vernacular languages to use Latin syntax, and a more literal translation.
