Dominus Vobiscum

The New Liturgical Movement has an interesting article by Michael P. Foley which looks at one of the most frequently used phrases in the Latin Mass - and, in translation, in the vernacular liturgy  - the Dominus Vobiscum, and the congregational response. Noting its frequency in the liturgical action, and its consequent seeming insignificance, the article looks at its background and its recent translation history. It then explores its importance and how it should be understood as and when it is spoken, and what it invites the worshipper each time to reflect upon.
