In the Mass prayers proper to the First Sunday of Advent, we found these new words in the updated English translation, and noticed an emphasis on “now.”
Collect: “the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ with righteous deeds at his coming … so that, gathered at his right hand”
Prayer over the Offerings: “gathered from among your gifts to us”
Preface: “the great promise in which now we dare to hope”
Prayer after Communion: “for even now you teach us … to hold fast to what endures”
