Welcoming the publications Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor said:
My own hope and prayer is that of the late Holy Father, that in this Year of the Eucharist there will be an increase of faith, devotion, reverence, care and celebration of the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist.
Bishop Arthur Roche, chairman of the Department for Christian Life and Worship, said:
Much has been achieved already in implementing the renewal of the liturgy as required by the Second Vatican Council. These publications will provide priests and people with the opportunity to take stock of what has been achieved already and take responsibility for what is still needed.

General Instruction of the Roman Missal
|
General Instruction of the Roman Missal is the official guide to the celebration of Mass prepared for the Roman Catholic Church throughout the world. A revised version of GIRM was published in 2002 in the new 3rd edition of the (Latin) Roman Missal. An English translation of the Missal is presently in preparation, perhaps to be published in 2007. The official translation of GIRM has been published in advance of the rest of the Missal, because of its importance as a teaching document for the Church.
