Provisions shall also be made, when revising the liturgical books, for legitimate variations and adaptations to different groups, regions, and peoples, especially in mission lands, provided that the substantial unity of the Roman rite is preserved; and this should be borne in mind when drawing up the rites and devising rubrics.Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, 38

The Directory for Masses With Children
• Congregation for Divine Worship, 1973
• Masses with Adults at Which Children Also Participate
• Masses with Children in Which Only a Few Adults Participate
![Page 12: Formation workshop 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062707/557e87a8d8b42a48528b5225/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Directory for Masses With Children
• Two general principles
o Full, conscious and active participation
o Liturgy cannot be completely beyond level of understanding

Masses With Adults
![Page 14: Formation workshop 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062707/557e87a8d8b42a48528b5225/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Masses With AdultsSometimes, moreover, if the place itself and the nature of the community permit, it will be appropriate to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word, including a homily, with the children in a separate, but not too distant, room. Then, before the Eucharistic Liturgy begins, the children are led to the place where the adults have meanwhile celebrated their own Liturgy of the Word.Directory for Masses With Children, 17
