GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL<br />

CHAPTER IX<br />

ADAPTATIONS WITHIN THE<br />

COMPETENCE OF BISHOPS AND<br />

BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE<br />

386. The renewal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Roman Missal,<br />

carried out in our time in accordance with<br />

<strong>the</strong> decrees <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Second Vatican<br />

Ecumenical Council, has taken great<br />

care that all <strong>the</strong> faithful may engage in<br />

<strong>the</strong> celebration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eucharist with that<br />

full, conscious, and active participation<br />

that is required by <strong>the</strong> nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Liturgy itself and to which <strong>the</strong> faithful, in<br />

virtue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir status as such, have a<br />

right and duty. 147<br />

In order, however, to enable such a<br />

celebration to correspond all <strong>the</strong> more<br />

fully to <strong>the</strong> norms and <strong>the</strong> spirit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

sacred Liturgy, certain fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

adaptations are set forth in this<br />

Instruction and in <strong>the</strong> Order <strong>of</strong> Mass and<br />

entrusted to <strong>the</strong> judgment ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

diocesan Bishop or <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bishops’<br />

Conferences.<br />

Constitution on <strong>the</strong> Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum<br />

Concilium, no.14.<br />
