Especially the Eucharistic Prayers and the Opening Prayer, Prayer after Communion and Closing prayer. The way it is now I can’t even get a sense of the prayer because of jarring terminology or convoluted sentences or merely the priest stumbling through the words. From what I saw you had it right with the 1998 edition perhaps rather than re do the whole this a temporary measure would be to marry 1998 with parts of 2010. The people’s responses are okay but the prayers need urgent attention
