A new translation of the readings at Mass will come into use in England and Wales from Advent 2024. This is based on the Catholic Edition of the English Standard Version Bible. 

We plan to provide this translation just as we have been providing the Jerusalem Bible version currently in use. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales will liaise with publishers, including Universalis, to ensure the texts are available ready for the publication date. 

In Scotland the National Liturgical Commission has announced that the same version will be used. 

Ireland is remaining with the Jerusalem Bible and will probably move to the Revised New Jerusalem Bible at some time in the future.
