If This Is True...
... I'm going to be very, very upset. Where are those Tums... ?
This is true -- I've heard in other places that there is a real effort to get this out as quickly as possible.
However, one should not forget how the MP came out -- all the so-called 'people in the know' were never right about the date, or even the contents.
It is entirely possible that these changes will not be made, or they that they may even be made towards a more conservative position. I think 'wait and see' is an appropriate position to have with all things from Rome.
For what it's worth, here is the original prayer for the conversion of the Jews, from traditio.com:
Oremus et pro perfidis Judaeis: ut Deus et Dominus noster auferat velamen de cordibus eorum; ut et ipsi agnoscant Iesum Christum, Dominum nostrum. Omnipotens, sempiterne Deus, qui etiam iudaicam perfidiam a tua misericordia non repellis: exaudi preces nostras, quas pro illius populi obcaecatione deferimus; ut, agnita veritatis tuae luce, quae Chistus est, a suis tenebris erantur.
[Let us pray also for the faithless Jews: that God and our Lord may lift the veil from their hearts; that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Lord. Almighty, eternal God, Who dost not bar even the faithlessness of the Jews from Thy mercy: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; in order that when they have acknowledged the light of Thy truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness.]

1903-1914 "With truly lamentable results, our age, casting aside all restraint in its search for the ultimate causes of things, frequently pursues novelties so ardently that it rejects the legacy of the human race."

"To touch the Sacred Species with their own hands and to distribute them is a privilege of the Ordained" (Dominicae Cenae, no. 11).
On the Church and the World...
"It is public knowledge that some ecclesiastics today seem to want to create a new Church. By doing so they betray Christ, for they change spiritual aims—the salvation of souls, one by one—into temporal aims. If they do not resist this temptation, they will leave their sacred ministry unfulfilled, lose the confidence and respect of the people, and create havoc in the Church. Moreover, by interfering intolerably with the political freedom of Christians and other men, they will sow confusion in civil society and make themselves dangerous. Holy orders is the sacrament of supernatural service of one’s brothers in the faith; some seem to be trying to turn it into the earthly instrument of a new despotism" (St. Jose-Maria Escriva, Christ is Passing By, no. 79)
"The enemies of the Church, who think that their time has come, will see that their joy was premature, and that they may close the grave they have dug" (Mit Brennender Sorge, 19 [1937]).
"We most humbly beseech Thee Almighty God, to command that these offerings be borne by the hands of Thy holy Angel to Thine altar on high in the sight of Thy Divine Majesty, that as many of us as at this altar shall partake of and receive the most holy Body and Blood of Thy Son, may be filled with every heavenly blessing and grace. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen." -Supplices te Rogamus, from the Canon of the Mass (1962)

"It is therefore forbidden to claim or to declare in churches and religious communities that Our Lady has appeared or will yet appear in Medjugorje." Seat of Wisdom, by Bishop Peric, 1995
Cardinal Ottaviani: "Recent reforms have amply demonstrated that fresh changes in the liturgy could lead to nothing but complete bewilderment on the part of the faithful who are already showing signs of restiveness and of an indubitable lessening of faith...errors against the Faith are not so much insinuated but rather an inevitable consequence of liturgical abuses and aberrations which have been given equal recognition. To abandon a liturgical tradition which for four centuries was both a sign and pledge of unity of worship is, we feel in conscience bound to proclaim, an incalculable error."
Pope Pius XII: "I hear all around me innovators who want to dismantle the Holy Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, throw away her ornaments, give her a remorse of her historical past. Well my dear friend, I have the conviction that the Church of Peter must assume her past or she will dig her own grave."
