What do shipmates think of This ?

I just got the news from Fr. James Martin's page.

Interesting, perhaps St Joseph has moved up the respectability meter.

Bl.PopeJohn XXIII put St Joseph in the Roman Canon in 1962. This was carried forward into the revised Missale Romanum following Vatican II. What this decree does is no more than to bring the other Eucharistic prayers used most frequently in the Roman Rite into line with Roman Canon.

I didn't realise he was ever not respectable. Most chased spouse eh?

That explains Jesus' brothers...... [Two face]

Also worth pointing out, I think, that this is only of immediate effect in Latin celebrations. As I understand it, approved English text for the insertion will be provided in due course.

Not really. This (as Trisagion says) is but a making uniform of a previous innovation. Places in the Canon weren't decided on respectability, but on particular Roman connexion or significance or long Roman-of-the-city use (hence the Canon Romanus).

Which does perhaps seem peculiar when the Use has been exported to all corners of the earth, and the cultus of SS Marcellinus, Perpetua & Felicity, Cosmas & Damien & al seems less 'important' than that of the most chaste spouse, whose insertion is really an attempt to 'complete' the invocation of the Holy Family (with OLJC and the BVM) at the beginning, rather than being included on the basis of some sort of 'merit' with the rest of the saints.

Actually I discovered that the English text is provided at the end of the decree linked to above.
