Praying the Mass

Louie Verrecchio, author of the Harvesting the Fruit of Vatican II series, is a regular columnist for Catholic News Agency (CNA).  He recently wrote an article about the new English translation of Et cum spiritu tuo as "And with your spirit."  You can read his article here.

Louie and I traded books — I sent him a copy of The Prayers of the People (which he graciously mentions at the end of his article), and he sent me a copy of the Harvesting the Fruit of Vatican II book on the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy.  It was refreshing to meet a kindred spirit:  many of his insights are similar to my own, and he quotes the same documents (often the same quotes!) as I do in the introduction to The Prayers of the People.
