Over here, Fr Z has had the really good idea to use a podcast to say the new translation of the Roman Canon as we are likely to hear it. He prefaces it by saying the current translation of Eucharistic Prayer 1 as we are wont to hear it.
Hearing the Canon in a new translation is a much bigger deal than I had expected; it is completely different from reading a translation (or the Latin) while the priest is talking.
I hope the catechesis picks up on the richness of the fare on offer and doesn't try to explain it away.
Most of all, I hope that the Bishops encourage priests to use this opportunity to evangelise: the whole of God's religion is contained in this six or seven minutes. Think what a holy priest might do with it; think what a country full of holy priests might do with it!
