THE NICENO-CONSTANTINOPOLITAN CREED
One of the major changes in the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist is the use of the so-called Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed which will from hereon be recited during the Profession of Faith. Also known as the Nicene Creed, this is how it is to be recited:
I believe in One God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages,
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father,
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
(At the words that follow up to and including and became
men, all bow.)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and His Kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The NEW ROMAN MISSAL
In 2011, the Holy See released a new set of guidelines for the translation of liturgical books which requires a word-for-word translation that is closer to the original Latin in content and syntax. In 2002, the Holy See promulgated the 3rd typical edition of the Roman Missal. In 2010, the Pope approved the New English translation produced by the International Committee on English in the Liturgy and the Holy See's Vox Clara Commission. This new translation replaced the second edition in us since 1975.
In July 2011, the CBCP voted to implement this new translation for the whole Philippines on the First Sunday of Advent of 2012 which falls on Dec. 2, 2011 by which time, Masses celebrated in English will have to use the new translation.
About the Eucharist
The Eucharist (also called the Mass) is the memorial of the Lord's paschal mystery - his passion, death and resurrection through which he redeemed, saved, restored and sanctified humankind. This memorial of the Lord's sacrifice is celebrated by the community of the baptized, the Church, in the form of a ritual meal. In the Mass, Christ comes to us in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood, in the ritual proclamation of God's Word, in the ministry of priests, and in our gathering as a worshipping assembly.
Catholics, by virtue of their Christian baptism have the right and duty to take part in the Eucharist. Sunday is the Lord's Day, the day of the Eucharist, and the day of the Church. We would always participated actively and worthily in the Sunday Eucharist with proper interior disposition. We should come to Church on time and be present from the entrance rite until the dismissal. We should be in our Sunday best.
The Eucharist ought to strengthen individuals in their Christian commitment, in living their baptismal dignity and mission, and in their participation in the life and mission of Christ and His Church.
Parts of the Mass that contain the new rite
GREETING:
Celebrant: The Lord is with you.
People: And with your spirit.
PENITENTIAL ACT:
Form A I confess to Almighty God
and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done
and in what I have failed to do,
And, striking our breast, we say:
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault.
Then, we continue:
Therefore I ask Blessed Mary ever-Virgin,
All the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
