ON THE COVER: In this year of the retranslation, ML will offer you concrete ways to deal with changes and challenges on the journey.

From Inside ML: I suppose they are part of the reality of life — beginnings, endings, and then, more beginnings. We, the church, are beginning a new journey as we anticipate and prepare to implement the retranslation of the Roman Missal. So with journeys in mind, ML volume year 38 will explore our paths: paths we have taken and paths that we are about to walk. We set out on this course examining the ways that our life journeys impact our spiritual journeys, where the paths intersect, where they separate, and how each of these directions affects us. (More)
