In the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, the only approved translation is the Revised Standard Version and its use is mandated in both the Ordinariate Use and the Novus Ordo celebrated by the Ordinariate (although in the latter, the Grail Psalter must be used).Īccording to Jayarathina Madharasan's answer:Īctually, we have not used Latin Lectionaries (that's the book of Scripture we use in Liturgy) in any widespread sense since the early 60's when it was switched to vernacular. In England & Wales, the usual translation used is the Jerusalem Bible, but the above versions are permitted in their various uses. *These versions may only be used for individual local celebrations and may not be used to produce a Lectionary (full set of readings) The Grail Psalter (1963) is used for the Psalms.
