Mystagogical Reflections on the Texts of the Roman Missal, Third Edition
The following materials were prepared by the FDLC Ad Hoc Committee for Mystagogical Reflection of the texts and implementation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition following the 2010 National FDLC Meeting. The FDLC hopes both member and non-member diocesan offices and commissions will post these weekly one-page reflections on diocesan websites as well as make them available for parishes and institutions to post or print in local sites and publications. Although these reflections include copyrighted texts of ICEL (used with permission of the USCCB Committee for Divine Worship) and are the copyrighted work of the FDLC, you are free to share and to reproduce them as long as they are not bought or sold.
