Elected when he was seventy-seven years old, his pontificate lasted only from 1958 to 1963. Imagine that! Would you be willing to take on a new ministry at age seventy-seven? Pope John was a man on the move and although his papacy was shortlived, his impact has endured. In this summer issue, we continue to commemorate the anniversary of Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Second Vatican Council’s document on the liturgy, and its influence on today’s Church. Each of the front covers of Today’s Liturgy for 2014 has a connection with people on the move. On the Advent/Christmas cover, Simeon greets Mary, Joseph, and the Child, who have arrived after journeying to Jerusalem to fulfill the Law of Moses. Our Lent/Easter cover features a Palm Sunday procession at Saint James Cathedral, Seattle, beginning the journey of Holy Week. For this Ordinary Time 1 cover, we selected an image from the blessing of the fleet, which takes place in summer for our readers in the northern hemisphere, but in December-January “down under.” As disciples on the move, we are about to set sail for a most exciting adventure in the Church. We have just come from the Year of Faith with its call to conversion, and now we are ready to sail full speed ahead into the waters of the New Evangelization. Read Robert Feduccia’s essay on pages 10–12 (his second in the series) and get aboard the “disciple-ship.” We’re going fishing! The New Evangelization invites us first to renew and deepen our own faith before we throw our lines into unknown waters. First, we need the anchor of tradition to stabilize us on our mission. Pope Benedict XVI helped awaken us to our chant heritage. In her article on pages 16–17, Benedictine Sister Genevieve Glen refreshes and renews in us an appreciation for the ancient Te Deum. The tradition of chant and the recent vernacular texts will sustain us while aboard. We will approach unfamiliar musical shores, perhaps outside our own comfort zones and tastes, in our efforts to find, welcome, and minister to the multicultural, multigenerational body of Christ. In case you haven’t noticed, a new generation of composers and music is maturing. The music has been called “new contemporary” in contrast to “contemporary”—the vernacular music that arose after the Council and introduced folk sounds and instruments into the liturgy. OCP calls this newer sound “Spirit and Song.” We will be hearing more from these composers and their music. The featured songs in this issue include several different styles of music and languages for your treasure chest. After some rest and relaxation, we must sail with the zeal of missionaries. But, come prepared. Glenn Byer gives a liturgical map; Rick Modlin, a musical one. “Cantor Avenue” offers sound advice to help cantors prepare for the next part of the journey (pp. 28–31). Holy Cross Father Ron Raab invites musicians to enjoy some “summer silence” while also showing us how to be advocates “for other people’s pain and needs” (pp. 14–15). The bell on a ship’s clock reminds the sailor of the time of the watch. The next time you hear any bell, let it be a reminder that on our watch we not only make music, but also look for the lost, comfort the afflicted, bind wounds, and set prisoners free, including those within our own harbors. Today’s Bark of Peter sails into waters of apathy, confusion, and unbelief—both within and without. I hope that you are inspired by Saint John XXIII, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis to set sail, survive the storms, and keep your eyes on the horizon. I leave you with verse 23 of Psalm 107, a psalm of thanksgiving. It is often used for the blessing of the fleet: “Some went off to sea in ships, plied their trade on the deep waters.” Smooth sailing. Safe journey.

Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 5 Ask the Liturgist Since the implementation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition on November 27, 2011, the Secretariat of Divine Worship of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has received a number of questions regarding the Missal, and in particular, the Order of Mass.

Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 6 We are pleased to share these prayers by Jeanne Hunt from her Pastoral Press/OCP book More Choir Prayers (ocp.org/6036). Prayers for Pastoral Musicians A People of Praise Fifty Calories an Hour! Lord, a choir director once said, “At this morning’s performance …” Whether he knew it or not, he thought of the music ministry’s role as performing rather than praising. O Lord, what a dangerous difference. The moment a choir forgets what it is about, the moment we start worshiping ourselves and our sound, instead of you, at that moment we lose our power to serve the body of Christ. We lose the ability to fill your house with authentic praise. We lose our call as ministers of song. We become frivolous ornaments, shadows of what we are to be. Lord, it is said that we burn fifty calories an hour singing. In a two-hour rehearsal a choir of forty has expended four thousand calories. This is an unexpected bonus for our service. Yet you say that our gift of service should be given without expecting return, given freely because you have given so freely. However, you are too generous a Lord. Your track record is outstanding. A boy gives five fishes; you feed hundreds with leftovers: gourmet wine at a country wedding on you, an encore for Lazarus, a prison break for Peter. You love to surprise those who give to you without reserve. Surprise them with unexpected wonder, the way fathers do. So thank you, Lord, for spent calories. And may we add that working for you is a pleasure. Your benefit plan is wonderful, unorthodox, but wonderful. Amen. Keep us mindful of our calling. Keep our hearts and minds in a posture of service. May we never presume that those gathered have come for our benefit, but always to worship you. Keep our music fitting to that worship so that our song will never outshine the ritual itself. Let our song enhance and enliven your sacred rite. Lord, if we have failed to do this in the past, we ask your forgiveness. We mean to sing for you alone. Amen. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 7 BULLETIN Notes This is a series of new notes for liturgical catechesis in weekly bulletins or inserts. Additional bulletin notes are available at liturgy.com. Churches that OCP serves have permission to reproduce these notes. Copyright lines must appear as printed. GOD LOVED THE WORLD PETER AND PAUL “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life” (John 3:16). This, the most translated verse in Holy Scripture, sums up the grand work of God to put creation rightly in place. We are invited to share God’s own life and to take our proper place at his wedding feast as his adopted family. The gracious gift of the Lord Jesus Christ, the embracing love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all! Can you receive this great gift? Pilgrims canter to Canterbury, saunter to the terra sancta (Holy Land), and roam to Rome. These terms for different kinds of paces have entered English, not just as words for speed but as part of an ancestral memory of these important destinations linked to change and holiness. The tombs of Peter and Paul, the first apostolic witnesses to the Church, bring us close not only to history but also to the one who sent them. We receive the message of the apostles: “Repent, the reign of God is at hand.” Do we hear that message? Do we act on it? Text, Philip J. Sandstrom © 2001, OCP. All rights reserved.

WORD MADE FLESH HOLY MOTHER CHURCH It is no coincidence that Saint John employs the term “flesh” for both the Eucharist and the Incarnation: the Bread of Life that makes us live is nothing other than the Word-made-flesh. If the bread promised by Jesus will give life forever, it is because the Son of Man is given by the Father and descends from heaven to give us that very same life. By his glorification he enters into possession of the fullness of the Spirit to such an extent that his body becomes, by means of the Eucharist, food for the life of the world. Today Mary personifies the Church; she hears God’s word and keeps it. She bears God’s Son and is greeted by Elizabeth. As Mother Church, she bears the Lord Jesus and is greeted by us. She offers his divine life to us, as the Church does in the sacraments. She goes before us to heaven, as Holy Mother Church invites each of us to follow Jesus. Are you ready? Text, Philip J.

Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 8 Full,Conscious, and Active Preparation Bulletin Notes—Inspiring Images and Text Did you know? Every issue of Today’s Liturgy includes four illustrations and reflections for Sundays and feasts falling within that particular season. The illustrations are by liturgical artist and Benedictine Brother Martin Erspamer, a monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey. To create these bold, icon-like black-andwhite images, Brother Martin uses an X-Acto razor to make meticulous cuts in a thick orange film known as amberlith. The cuts (and absence of cuts) then create a positive and negative (black and white) image. With its simple lines making surprisingly detailed three-dimensional scenes, this medium and style is not unlike a woodcut. For more of Brother Martin’s work, see The Work of Our Hands (ocp.org/20368) and The Path Toward Resurrection (ocp.org/30100973). Penned by a variety of authors, most notably Father Philip Sandstrom, the inspiring reflections break open the word for each Sunday or feast. These short but powerful meditations synthesize the day’s readings and prayers, often ending with a provocative question leading to further reflection. Combined with Brother Martin’s art, the bulletin notes make an effective catechetical tool. Parishes that use OCP worship resources have permission to reproduce these notes and images in their Sunday bulletins. More notes and images are available on Liturgy.com (for every Sunday and holy day of the year; subscribers only). Be sure to share this page of Today’s Liturgy (always page 8) with the parish staff and all those involved in creating the Sunday bulletin. LicensingOnline—Your Source for Favorite Songs One of the advantages of OCP’s missal programs is that the music is updated every year. That means new songs for prayer and worship, both traditional and contemporary, which keeps the repertoire fresh. Of course, to make room for new music, songs have to be removed from the missals, including ones that are known and used in some communities. Fortunately there’s an easy way to continue using these songs in worship. Nearly all the songs published by OCP, including those now in the missal program and those formerly in it, are available for purchase in downloadable editions from LicenSing Online. Simply go to LicenSingOnline.org and search for your song by title (or composer, etc.). You’ll find assembly, choral, and accompaniment editions. Simply purchase the editions you need (and a license to use them, if you don’t have one already) then put them into your Sunday worship program. It’s an easy, convenient, and affordable way to sing the songs your community loves, whether or not they’re still in the missals. NPM Livestreaming Hundreds of people from all over the world tuned in to last year’s livestreaming video of the OCP showcase in Washington, DC, and hundreds more visited the OCP website afterward to watch the recording. Continuing our mission of bringing the Gospel to all and serving our customers with unparalleled excellence, OCP will, once again, be streaming live video of this year’s showcase in St. Louis (the convention runs July 14–18). Just log on to ocp.org/showcase and click on the livestream link. There will also be an interactive, downloadable showcase book available again so you can follow along and buy sheet music or MP3s of any of the showcase songs. Watch for announcements with more detailed information on Facebook and in the OCP eNews. OCP Parish Grants Program Since its inception, the OCP Parish Grants program has provided more than $1,800,000 in direct financial assistance to roughly 900 parishes across the US because of one simple reason—it’s part of our mission. The program exists to enhance the worship experience of parish communities, and any Roman Catholic parish in the US may apply. Many communities have used their grant to build or improve their multicultural or youth ministries, while others have used it to purchase materials or equipment, such as hymnals, instruments, or sound systems— the only restriction is that it be linked to liturgy or music. Log on to ocp.org/grants to find out more and to fill out an application. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 9 The New Evangelization: Bearing the Fragrance of Christ Robert Feduccia Robert Feduccia founded the Youth Liturgical Leadership Program at the Saint Meinrad School of Theology. He travels nationwide giving presentations on the New Evangelization and other topics. He did graduate studies in theology at the Catholic University of America and earned his master’s in theological studies from Saint Meinrad School of Theology. Currently he is the general manager of spiritandsong. com, a division of OCP. I have been blessed to visit numerous dioceses over the past two years giving presentations on the New Evangelization. There’s a lot of talk and energy around the New Evangelization; people hear our prelates speaking about it and are anxious to be a part of it. But it remains somewhat elusive. I have often used the metaphor of the Mirror of Erised from the first Harry Potter novel. When Harry, the orphan with the mysterious past, looks in the mirror, he sees the image of his parents looking back at him with smiles and warm embraces. When his friend Ron, the forgotten child in the family of seven children, looks in the mirror, he sees himself as the sports club captain. The Mirror of Erised (“desire” spelled backward) simply reveals to the viewer that which she or he desires to see. In order to capture the Church’s mind with the New Evangelization, I think it’s helpful to take a historical look at its development. This current period of the Church should properly be understood as a continuation of the movement of the Holy Spirit who called the Second Vatican Council. The New Evangelization is certainly an extension of the Council and might very well be its fulfillment, since the Council’s central purpose was the preaching of the good news of Jesus Christ to modern women and men. The Council had a two-fold task. The first task is best expressed by the French word ressourcement (a return to the sources). Ressourcement is the work of recovering that which is central to the Gospel. What is at the very heart of new life in Jesus Christ? What does it mean to be a Christian? The answers to these and similar questions were to be discovered by returning to the Scriptures, the patristic writers, and the Doctors of the Church. After the work of recovery, the second task is best described by the Italian word aggiornamento or, inelegantly in English, “updating.” Once we have recovered what is most authentic about the Catholic faith, we can update our expressions and the methods by which we relay the authentic faith to modern women and men. At its essence, this is the work of the New Evangelization, the full description of which will be found later. Pope Paul VI made a major contribution to contemporary evangelization in the Catholic Church with the landmark document Evangelii nuntiandi (Evangelization in the Modern World). That document contained this stark phrase: “Evangelizing is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize” (14). Allow me to offer an anecdote. Over the past several years, I have been swimming in the New Evangelization and it has become a driving force in my ministerial life. When I learned that Pope Benedict created a dicastry for the New Evangelization, my heart leapt because surely the Holy Father had a job for an American layman such as me at Vatican City. Surely he and I could share a quality bowl of bucatini carbonara while brainstorming new ways to proclaim the Gospel. One Sunday during the liturgy at my home parish, I was praying diligently for this to happen when my heart was illuminated during the elevation of the eucharistic elements. I remembered from my ecclesiology class that the fullness of salvation and the fullness of the Church’s mission reside wherever the Eucharist is. I can get no closer to the work of the New Evangelization in Rome at Saint Peter’s Basilica than I can at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Beaverton, Oregon. Now to connect the dots.

Our ministerial mandate is to be missionaries in this territory; there is to be an active engagement with the community for the sake of the Gospel. Of course, we are to be a welcoming parish, but Pope Francis is asking us to go beyond the walls of our churches, parish centers, and schools. We are to go to the peripheries of our parish bounds and bring the fragrance of Christ to every square block and acre in our parish. This leads to the second term that Pope Francis has introduced: culture of encounter. I believe that we will discover our own motivation, our own new ardor for evangelization, when we see people as individuals who possess an infinite desire for God. Pope Francis is asking that we create parishes that embody a culture of encounter with Christ. While he was speaking to his brother priests, Pope Francis’ homily from the 2013 Chrism Mass offers us an insight into our own call to be missionaries and to create a culture of encounter: “We need to ‘go out,’ then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the ‘outskirts’ where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters. It is not in soul-searching or constant introspection that we encounter the Lord…. [W]e, in faith, [must] go out and give ourselves and the Gospel to others, giving what little ointment we have to those who have nothing, nothing at all” (tinyurl.com/bovwgr2 ). Pope John Paul II wrote in L’Osservatore Romano, “The new evangelization is not a matter of merely passing on doctrine but rather of a profound and personal meeting with the Savior.” The next step in the New Evangelization that Pope Francis is bringing us to is embracing our parish to its very edges as a mission field. In this embrace, we are to bring the fragrance of the oil, the oil of Christ with which we were anointed, to those who are living their lives in desperate pursuit of fulfillment. © 2013 OCP.

He broadcasts a weekly Scripture commentary, “On the Margins,” from KBVM.fm. Learn more at ronaldraab.com I seldom used my voice until I was five years old. My physical voice was fine; I just did not feel the need to use it. In later years my parents told me that I relied on my brother to speak for me, tugging on his shirt and grunting my needs to him. Since he is eight years older, I must have thought he knew what I needed. In many ways he advocated for my needs. Now these many years later, I am still learning to speak up for myself and for many people around me in ministry. I could never have imagined in my early years that I would use my voice not only as a career but to speak out on other people’s behalf. I preach the Gospel not only to congregations on Sundays but also to a wide radio and Internet audience. My voice, in written form in magazines, travels to many nations. Some people sit with me in the confines of a confessional and I whisper the consoling words of absolution on behalf of the entire Church. The words I speak now have more influence, meaning, and purpose among other people than I could have possibly imagined as a child. My vocation now is to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, to advocate for human dignity, for people in poverty, for those who suffer mental illness, and for those who live with long-term addictions. I am grateful for my voice of faith, my role within the Church of offering consolation. As ministers in the Church, we all use our voices at the Eucharist on behalf of others. We bring our talented, skilled, and practiced voices to proclaim the Scriptures so that other people may discover the healing they desire in life. Cantors proclaim the ancient yearnings of the psalms. Deacons proclaim Christ’s living message embedded in the pages of the Gospels. Musicians ease the restless demons we all carry inside ourselves with inspired hymns. Our voices—timid or strong, rehearsed or off-the-cuff— become, for many people, the way to access the healing message of Christ Jesus. As we approach these summer months, we cannot forget our leadership role at the sacred Eucharist to sing and speak for others who have difficulty speaking up for themselves. We listen to the Gospels during these months of Ordinary Time that invite us to listen to Christ in our own lives. We all tug on the words of Christ, who speaks daily to us, to form us into our roles as musicians, cantors, lectors, and preachers. Pentecost propels us out into the world to live the message we have been pondering all through these past months of Lent and Easter. We are to be adults now. Our ministry is not child’s play. We use our mature voices on behalf of people who cannot speak for themselves. We are reminded that we are more than the sparrows, so we do not have to be afraid. We are sent on this holy mission to cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons—and we are to live all of this without counting the cost. We are to use our voices for love, comfort, and the healing of people. We are to break down barriers, change attitudes, and bring peace. We voice the kingdom of God on earth so others may find a home within the Church. Even though we proclaim God’s kingdom every time we open our mouths at the Eucharist, we are not immune from growing tired and weary. Jesus invites us all again to rest our lives, our suffering, our burdens, and our pain in his life. Jesus Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 14 Our voices … become, for many people, the way to access the healing message of Christ Jesus. promises a place at the table for the meek and the humble of heart. His yoke is easy and his burden light. I am very aware of the hurt we experience in our professional lives in the Church. Behind every strong, rich voice is a child that wants to just tug on someone’s shirt and ask for help. Jesus invites us to take care not only of our voices but also of our lives. We need days of summer silence to search for the God who speaks only to us. We sit with our addictions and use our voices to ask for help from others. We enter into healthy relationships so that we can hear with our own ears voices of comfort and care. We need to soothe our throats from overreacting to family members, bosses, and pastors. We are again invited to take time to sort out why we sing in our assemblies in the first place. We sort out our often-meager finances and make sure we are using our voices to speak up about our talents and training. We use our voices to ask for forgiveness among members of the choir or among members of the parish staff. We are called and challenged to take time again to exercise our voices and our lives of faith. I listen to the voice of the Canaanite woman with all my heart. Her voice ignites my imagination and trust. She approaches Jesus because she knows her daughter is very ill. She uses her voice to advocate for someone she loves. In fact, her voice literally changes Jesus’ decision. Jesus affirms her request even though she was culturally out of the bounds of his love. She asks for scraps. She receives everything. Her daughter is healed. The Canaanite woman is a model for all of us who use our voices in the Eucharist, in our public and liturgical prayer. This Gospel calls us to advocate for other people’s pain and needs. We all model this by proclaiming the Scriptures in speech and song. Our ministry is not to show off our own talents but to advocate for all who are most in need of understanding, love, and healing within their lives. The desperate mother came to Jesus on behalf of her daughter, someone she loved and knew very well. When we use our voices in song, in proclamation, and in preaching we are advocating for people we do not even know. To the visiting widow who snuck into the last pew during the gathering hymn we are offering an opportunity to find the inner strength to move through her sorrow. We sing of God’s fidelity for the marginalized among us, the people who carry serious and unyielding secrets, those who cannot forgive or forget, and people who do not ever feel worthy praying at Mass in the first place. Our ministries of cantor, musician, lector, and preacher are deep sources of wisdom for our assemblies. Our human bodies help the assembly to put the message of the Gospels into practice. We are all challenged then to advocate for people in poverty, to work toward a world of justice, to welcome people with mental illness, to sit with those in prison, and to befriend the ill and dying. We listen carefully this summer to this Canaanite mother who teaches us that Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 15 our voices matter. In fact, our collective voices of prayer might very well still change the mind of Jesus as well as our own hearts and actions. In the same way, we challenge others with our adult voices to take up their cross and live the message that is sung in the Scriptures. We do not preach or sing about ourselves. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? As we sing of our salvation and preach the ancient word, we become instruments of freedom and love for the stranger, the sojourner, and the next generation of believers. Several months ago I was standing outside greeting people after Mass. I extended my hand to many parishioners and friends who were grateful for the Eucharist we just celebrated together. As I was greeting the crowd of visitors around me, a small child came up to me. He tugged on my vestment and he looked up to my face in silence. I was delighted by his silence and now I hope someday he will also have a new voice for people who live on the margins of society. © 2013 OCP. All rights reserved. Te Deum: A Song for All Seasons Genevieve Glen, OSB Genevieve Glen is a Benedictine nun at the Abbey of Saint Walburga in Virginia Dale, Colorado, and a highly regarded author, poet, and composer of hymn texts. As prioress of the community, she is responsible for creating an education curriculum for the women in formation. For many years, Sister Genevieve was the award-winning editor of daily offices for Magnificat magazine. She has three collections of hymn texts: Take with You Words (ocp.org/11725), Voices from the Valley (ocp. org/12026), and The Listening Heart (ocp. org/20140). Praise the Lord! You’ve heard that many times. You have probably also said or sung it more often than you realize. In one form or another, this little acclamation is woven through many of the psalms and many familiar hymns. Why? Christians believe in a very specific God, one we have learned to know over millennia of experience, including the experience of our Jewish forebears. A glance at today’s video storytelling suggests that many of our contemporaries, perhaps sometimes even we ourselves, question not so much the existence of God or even the relevance of God but God’s character. A surprising number of movies and television shows, from “The Last Enemy” and “Doctor Who” to “Person of Interest,” pose disturbing questions, such as, is anyone in charge of the universe? If someone is, is that someone or something personal or merely a blind and whimsical force? Is that someone watching us? If someone is watching us, is it friend or foe? In the perils of the planet, which we fear have grown beyond our capacity to solve, is anyone coming to help? Who? How? When? These questions were not born with our century. People who search beyond the surface of things have wrestled with them from time out of mind. Ancient religions proposed cosmic or natural forces that were mostly arbitrary and dangerous. The function of worship was largely to placate them. The Jewish and Christian biblical tradition introduced a radically different kind of God: a God who is personal, creative, and relational. This God can be very dangerous indeed in the cosmic battle of good and evil but only in the interests of love, though we may fail to understand how that can be. This God, our God, has taken an active role in human history, to the point of sending the divine Word to enter it, live it, and change its direction from sure destruction to unending life in a reality utterly transformed by the cross. It is no wonder that one of the primary responses that drive biblical prayer is praise for God’s goodness. And, since pure praise requires a level of detachment from any self-interest that is rarely accessible to us, biblical praise is often coupled with thanksgiving for God’s work of deliverance and restoration. Historical Genesis The quest to answer the question of who God is became particularly urgent in the fourth century when complex theological debates about the Trinity and the Incarnation raged toward their close. Different schools of belief confused ordinary worshippers with conflicting teachings about the relationship of Father, Son, and Spirit, and then about the relationship of divinity and humanity in Christ. Pastoral wisdom understood very well that abstract theology lessons tend to fall on deaf ears in the street, but words learned and repeated often in the context of community worship form participants’ understanding of God and of their own reality. In later centuries, the tag Lex orandi, lex credendi, meaning “the law of prayer is the law of belief,” was coined to name this phenomenon, though, in fact, pastoral teachers knew that liturgy and doctrine were mutually formative. The need for effective orthodox catechesis inspired three texts that eventually became embedded in the liturgy: the “Glory to God in the Highest” and the Nicene Creed in their present Latin forms, and the Te Deum Laudamus, named for its opening Latin words. The Creed and, in the western Church, the “Glory to God in the Highest,” became part of the eucharistic liturgy, though not specifically composed for it. The Te Deum, on the other hand, found its way into the concluding rites of the liturgical Hour of Matins (now the Office of Readings). The text was originally attributed to Saint Ambrose of Milan (340–397), who employed Catholic hymnody effectively against the Arian tactic of teaching that popular sect’s heretical tenets through hymns. The text was also attributed to his star student, Saint Augustine (354–430). However, scholars now believe it was most likely written by Saint Nicetus (c. 335–414), bishop of Remesiana in present-day Serbia. Unlike the “Glory Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 16 to God” and the Creed, it appears to have been originally written in Latin, not translated from the Greek. The prayer obviously struck a chord with worshippers, for it spread widely into the liturgies of southeastern Gaul, Milan, and central Italy. It traveled with the monks and nuns throughout much of Europe and later much of the world. However, it also became the lynchpin and indeed gave its name to independent services of praise and thanksgiving for which local churches gathered on special occasions such as deliverance from invaders or plague or natural disaster, as well as some solemn sacramental celebrations. The history of the text’s Gregorian musical settings seems even more difficult to trace. The Text The Te Deum is a festive text now said or sung liturgically on Sundays outside Advent and Lent and on solemnities and feasts in the Office originally assigned the small hours of the morning before sunrise has broken through night’s darkness. (Unfortunately, in today’s Hours, the Office of Readings has been detached from any relationship with the time of day.) One of the strategies of the early Hours is to send worshippers out into the day armed against our worst fears. Our armor is conviction, faith at its most intense: in the teeth of questions such as those sketched in the opening paragraph above, we sing into the night’s darkness that we are not alone, helpless pawns of an impersonal or hostile universe; nor are we trapped in a pointless succession of days like squirrels in a wheel, busy about endless futility. Beginning with the Invitatory psalm, usually Psalm 95, which opens the round of daily Hours, we affirm that ours is a very personal God who created all reality, including our own, and cups it in powerful, creative, life-giving hands. We recite, sing, or hear psalms, biblical readings, and works of ancient and recent wisdom that claim that our time, including this very day, unfolds toward a goal to which we are responsible contributors. On festival days, the Te Deum brings these convictions to a rousing conclusion in language both conceptual and narrative, like the language of the Gloria and Creed, tinged with the poetic imagery of choirs of angels and saints massed beyond time in a joyful chorus of praise far more magnificent even than Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.” Whatever anyone else might dread about a hostile vacuum where ancient faith claimed the presence of God, we name God, we praise God, we acclaim God as Lord. Nor do we sing alone: we share in the worship of all creation. Cherubim and seraphim, with all the powers of heaven, “sing in endless praise,” using the language of the “Holy, Holy, Holy” familiar from the eucharistic celebration. The human companies of heaven join in: apostles, prophets, martyrs, backed no doubt by the nameless ranks of holy men and women who make up with the angels the liturgical assembly of heaven. Theirs is a present that transcends our own and a future that guarantees our own, and both present and future are praise. The God we praise is Trinity, majestic Father, true and only Son, and Spirit, who is on our side and guides us. Here is a God who is both relationship at the divine core and personal engagement with us. We spell out that engagement by telling once again the saving story of Jesus Christ, the Son born of a Virgin as a human being and triumphant over death— our death. Having opened the gate into the kingdom of heaven for us to follow, the Savior is now seated in glory at God’s right hand. In and from him our future will come. Like all biblical songs of praise, the Te Deum now draws confidence Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 17 on the text’s picture of God to ask that Christ gather us into his glory with the saints already assembled in the praise of which our own is but a pale echo. There follows a collage of scriptural petitions intermingled with further praise, a collage apparently appended to the original text at a later date. Conclusion The Te Deum is the song of centuries. Today its ancient formal language, its Trinitarian theology, and its Christological history may mask from us the splendor of its vision, but composers and hymn writers through the ages have made stirring attempts to open our ears to recognize and resonate to it (see sidebar, Hymns based on the Te Deum). The essential message of the text and all its musical expression remains a word of power spoken before day’s beginning to believers and perhaps even to those on the fringes, listening through their doubts, questions, and fears. Our God gives us every reason for glorious praise. Now, get up, go out, and live! © 2013 OCP. All rights reserved.

Prendergast and M.D. Ridge (ocp.org/12222). The Second Vatican Council opened in October 1962 and closed in December 1965. Archbishop Piero Marini Archbishop Piero Marini was born January 13, 1942 in Valverde, Italy, in the diocese of PiacenzaBobbio. He was ordained a priest in 1965 and was private secretary to Archbishop Annibale Bugnini. Marini was appointed an official of the Roman Curia in 1998, the same year he was ordained bishop. For twenty years, under Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, he was Papal Master of Ceremonies, Office for the Liturgical Celebration of the Supreme Pontiff. He was appointed archbishop in 2003. He is now president of the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses. Could you tell us what you were doing during the Council? During the first part of the Council, I was still a seminarian, but in the last months of the Council, as a priest, I had the good fortune to work here in Rome, in the Santa Marta Residence in Vatican City. The various Council Secretariats were all located there…. Walking through Saint Peter’s Square on the way to Santa Marta every day, I would meet the bishops either going to the Council sessions in the morning or coming out at one o’clock. …So during that period I breathed the air of the Council, even though I never entered the council hall during its sessions. I remember once looking into the door of the basilica out of curiosity, but I did not do more than that, because I was a young priest, only twenty-three years old, and I was still a little timid about this important event. If you could sum up in a few words the most important statement of the Council, what would you say? What really important thing did the Council leave us? I think it is the rediscovery of the church as the people of God, because here once again we see the great relationship between church and the liturgy. And in my opinion, in spite of what some theologians may say, Sacrosanctum concilium remains the most important document of the Council because it set the tone for the Council and for all the other documents. It presented a concept of the church that we find again in Lumen gentium, where perhaps it is set forth more clearly than in Sacrosanctum concilium; it showed us the church as a community which must be open to the Lord, a community of prayer and the praise of God. So in my opinion Sacrosanctum concilium was the heart of the Ecumenical Council, even as liturgical celebration is the heart of the church. You have been all over the world with the pope, so you have seen many celebrations. In the spirit of the implementation of the liturgical reform, is there a celebration you remember most or a country in which you found a greater reception of the liturgical reform, a greater zeal? It is very hard to make comparisons, because every country is different from the others. But I have to say that during all these years I have had moments of great personal and spiritual satisfaction, because I have seen the fruits of the Council in so many countries: participation, the sense of being church, openness to God’s Word, the many expressions—including physical, bodily gestures as in Africa—and the joy of being Christian, of celebrating Eucharist, the presence of Christ. I remember the Holy Father’s visit to the United States in 1987; that, for me, was also a chance to discover the quality of celebrations in the United States, from which we in Italy have much to learn—for example, the artistic quality of buildings and of furnishings. Also the attention to music. Most of all I noticed the attention given to music. In the United States there is a greater Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 18 sensitivity to music than we have here, and this is an important element in helping to discover the mystery. Singing and music, when it is suitable, help us to transcend the immediately visible and to discover the working of the Spirit within us and in our midst. I was also impressed by the orderliness of the assembly, which reflected the ordering of the people of God in the celebration of the liturgy. Could you say something more about music? For example, what is the role today of Gregorian chant, which the church acknowledges as her own proper music? Gregorian chant is nowhere in the world more present than in papal celebrations—partly because we are in Rome, but most of all because we have an assembly made up of different cultures and different languages, so we make use of those elements which can build communion. In the Ordinary of the Mass, Gregorian chant is still an element of cohesion, one that brings people together. For popular participation we tend to choose the simpler Masses. If you had the chance, what would you do in concrete terms to improve the active, full, and conscious participation of believers? First of all, we need to pay attention to the problem of liturgical education, of teaching people to understand the nature of the liturgy—to go from “doing” to “understanding” and “experiencing.” In the beginning, the liturgical reform was concerned with the translation of texts, explanations and so on. Today we must be guided by the celebration itself. Now that the reform is finished, we must think more of the essence than the “mechanics” of the celebration. This does not mean we should not be prepared. We need to be prepared, especially spiritually prepared. To do this we have also to pay attention to the quality of our celebrations. Today we can no longer improvise celebrations: we need quality in music, in signs. First of all, the signs are the assembly—when we gather, the assembly is the first sign of the church—the Word of God, the manner of reading the Word of God and how that Word is received by each of us. We need to emphasize the visible signs that speak of our identity and roots as Christians. If we do not see the baptismal font as the womb from which we were born as Christians, if we do not see the ambo as the place where we receive the Word of God, if we do not have veneration for the altar. In a sense, the crisis of the church today is a crisis of the liturgy, because the liturgy and the church are two realities that are almost identical. If we do not see in liturgy the reference point, the source from which the church receives grace, strength, and help, and if we do not see in liturgy the goal of all our activity, we are wasting our time. It is important that everyone be convinced of the relationship between the study of the liturgy and the life of the church. The Council said that the liturgy is the first and indispensable source from which the faithful can derive the true Christian spirit (SC 14). We need to put this into practice. Some people have proposed a third Vatican Council. Do you think this could be a possible solution? If so, which problems involving the liturgy could be faced first? Until now we have been talking about the positive aspects of the liturgy and about the difficulties of the liturgy following the Second Vatican Council. In my opinion, if we recognize that these difficulties exist and that we have not yet communicated the vision of the Second Vatican Council to everyone, how can we Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 19 think of a third Vatican Council? Remember the problems we had at the beginning of the liturgy reform, when everything was activity, movement, and change. Only later did we begin to reflect, discern. Can we really think that a new Council will solve the problem? In my opinion, it is important to continue to return to Vatican II, which perhaps we have neglected, and to implement not only its outward forms but also its profound insights and recommendations, and to participate in the liturgy with our lives. In the liturgy each of us celebrates, but to celebrate means to change and redirect our life; otherwise we are performing an empty rite. Unless there is this correspondence between life and liturgy, we will not have the liturgy desired by the Council. What is the liturgy’s future? Where is liturgy going? This is how I see the future of the liturgy: we are called to form real communities, to make participation in the liturgy an education in the “sense of the church,” in the different ministries present in the people of God, to improve our ability to listen to the Word of God and to enter into the signs by which the liturgy speaks to us. Our liturgies should be marked by beauty and dignity, where its signs speak eloquently: the assembly, the Word, but also the environment of our churches. There is a space, an environment where Christians develop themselves; there is a place where Christians are born, and this is the church. Unless we make these signs, including music, a central part of our celebrations, we will not give Christians a chance to take a giant step forward, which can bring them to discover the beauty and the reality that is truly present in the liturgy. © 2004 Pastoral Press (an imprint of OCP).

Singing and Celebrating God’s Word Scripture Commentaries for Year A Part 3 of 4: Holy Trinity – 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time “Therefore every scribe who is trained for the kingdom of God is like the master of a household who brings out from his storehouse things both old and new” (Matthew 13:52). Glenn CJ Byer Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, Glenn CJ Byer has written widely on the liturgy. Formerly professor of liturgy at Kenrick School of Theology in St. Louis, Missouri, he earned a sacred liturgy doctorate (SLD) from San Anselmo in Rome in 1994. He is co-author of The Catholic Catechist’s Companion (ocp.org/6139) and Hospitality Basics (ocp. org/6147). Currently Glenn is associate publisher for Novalis English Books, Resources, and Periodicals based in Toronto, Canada. Music ministers, those responsible for the environment in which we celebrate, and liturgists in general have as their mission to be “scribes trained for the kingdom of God,” as the Gospel for the 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time tells us. Our task is unpacking and bringing the language of the liturgy to new light. We do not invent the liturgical texts but we do create the visual and sonic context in which they are proclaimed. Maybe you’ve noticed that the recent changes to the Roman Missal didn’t really change our liturgy. The ritual words of the liturgy are a small part, maybe thirty percent, of the liturgical experience. The liturgical environment, the words spoken by greeters or among worshippers before and after Mass, the images used in the music, homily, and prayers of the faithful, even the announcements, all of these make up the other seventy percent of the worship experience. The way we deal with these other aspects, especially in terms of music, can help to unpack words of the ritual, to bring all of these images from the storehouse into the third millennium using things old and new. In this season of Ordinary Time, there are a couple of sets of images that we would do well to study and to unpack in our service to the Church. The Earth The earth and the harvest that comes from it get a lot of attention, but what does it mean when the Scriptures refer to the earth? While some of us farm and others of us love to garden or go fishing, the point here is not these pursuits. The point is that God enters our lives through earthly activities like planting and growing. Two truths that should affect our singing and our liturgy flow from this. First, this imagery reminds us of how immanent God is, how close to us in all the ordinary. Old songs like “Father, We Thank You Who Have Planted” or “God Whose Farm Is All Creation” are great examples of this kind of image of God. And in an example of bringing out things old and new from the storehouse, consider Michael Joncas’ inspired adaptation of “A Shelter in the Time of Storm” (BB/MI 433). The opposite can be said of the seemingly mundane activities of our lives, what might be called transcendent realities. It is through planting and working and tending that transcendence occurs. Christopher Walker’s beautiful interpretation of the twenty-third psalm “Because the Lord Is My Shepherd” (BB/ MI 467) does this nicely. The Nations The other common image in this season, and one that really needs unpacking, is “nations,” usually in the plural. As followers of Jesus, hearing the term “nations” at the liturgy should strike us as odd. We know that there is no exclusive territory for the people of God, no preferred government. And that is exactly the point. The nations are, in Old Testament language, the rest of the world. It was a difficult concept to put into practice, even for Saint Peter, who wasn’t sure about people from the nations becoming Christians Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 20 And this goes beyond giving them the use of our church to celebrate their Mass when we are done using our building. There is no them and there is no us: it is everybody. (see Acts 10). Without the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, most of us would not be welcome in the Church. So as we prepare liturgical celebrations, it is important that we make it clear that all nations belong at our celebrations. And this goes beyond giving them the use of our church to celebrate their Mass when we are done using our building. There is no them and there is no us: it is everybody. This is not a political question about people needing to learn English if they want to live in the United States. I lived and worshipped in another language at various times in my life, and I can assure you that, even though I knew the language of the place where I was living, part of me, an important part, did not feel included in the worshipping community. I always felt like a guest; I certainly did not volunteer in the parish nor did I feel the need to be a regular financial contributor. If the parishioners thought of me at all, I am sure they would have wondered about my commitment to my faith. But mostly I was just invisible. I will leave it to the experts to eventually figure out whether this is tokenism, but I will continue to urge the use of multilingual readings and intercessions, like Bob Hurd’s trilingual “Óyenos, Señor” (BB/MI 934). And even if you sing them in English, songs from other cultures, like “Pescador de Hombres/Lord, You Have Come” (BB/MI 511) can really give a boost to someone who may be feeling a little left out. Bilingual songs with simple refrains like “Pan de Vida” (BB/MI 345) can expand everyone’s understanding of the Eucharist. Different languages have different ways of expressing the truths of our faith. We are all enriched when we look at things in a new way. So regardless of the main language of the community, for our own good we need to actively seek out those whose first language is something else and include them in our prayer, in our song, and in our cultural activities. For example, if you are on the gulf coast of Florida or in parts of New England, you know that there are people who are first-language French speakers. You can learn a lot about celebration from them. The feast of Saints Peter and Paul includes one further “nations” reference, in this case, to “the Jews” who take delight in Paul’s persecution of the Christians. Whenever these texts come up, it is good to remember that the Church describes any hatred of God’s chosen people as odious, a term that I have not seen in any other context in Church documents. Since this feast is celebrated on a Sunday this year, we should take the opportunity to learn more about the lives and ministries of these twin founders of the Church as we know it. This can help us to better understand what we mean by Church, which in turn informs the worship of God by this Church. Saints Peter and Paul are images that need unpacking. Saint Paul was the firebrand who describes receiving the entire Gospel, including his knowledge of the Last Supper in 1 Corinthians 11, as a direct revelation from God, and not from the apostles. The immediacy of this revelation gives him what seems Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 21 like boundless missionary energy and leads him to describe the word of God as a two-edged sword, one that can come back at us as much as it can cut forward. Saint Peter was probably ever mindful of that day in Caesarea Philippi when he was both praised as the rock of the Church and chastised as Satan who doesn’t know the mind of God. He sees the keys to the kingdom of God as an opportunity for conciliation and not for tying up heavy burdens to place on others’ shoulders. Acts describes him as being absolutely sure in the power of the name of Jesus, but at the same time, he sees the need for the young Church to grow and to be open to new members, even those from strange cultures. Taking all of this on board would be a great way for us to grow as musicians and liturgists. Do we need to increase our zeal? Perhaps we need to be more open? An examination of our liturgical and musical conscience might help us recognize what is “subject to change” (as the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy urges) might lead to a musical choice like Barbara Bridge’s stirring setting of “’Ke Bona Leseli” (ocp.org/12769).

So, before specifically addressing the chanted verses, let’s take a brief look at accompanying the psalm as a whole.

By striking a chord, you are adding emphasis to the word sung with it; perhaps it is the wrong word to emphasize! For example, at the end of the third verse, strike the chord on the word cup instead of my. “My CUP overflows” sounds more natural than “MY cup overflows.” Similarly at the second half of verse two: “For YOU are at my side…” is better emphasis than “FOR you are at my side….” Strike the chord on “you” (though you might need to play the melody note on “For” if the cantor needs it). • At the end of each verse it can feel awkward if both cantor and assembly don’t know how to begin the response. Play some kind of short figure between verse and response to reestablish the metrical feel of the response. • Music needs contour. By nature, we like music to begin more simply or quietly, to grow in volume or complexity, and then end more simply again. So, it is good to introduce some variation to each verse accompaniment for interest and musicality—just so long as it doesn’t detract from what the cantor is proclaiming. It is a delicate balance between not overpowering the words and allowing the music to evolve. Try starting with a simplified version of the verse accompaniment and gradually introduce more complexity.

Modern chant notation such as this uses standard noteheads, but they do not indicate a definite duration. The double whole note, for example, does not get 8 counts but is instead used to indicate a reciting tone—a pitch to which most of the textual phrase is chanted. One-word pitches use a quarter notehead. Half noteheads typically indicate the end of the musical phrase. Be alert: sometimes a double whole note might only have one word attached. What is critical for you as accompanist is to watch and listen to the lyrics so as to stay together with the cantor. I will often silently sing the words along with the cantor as I accompany; it helps. • At the beginning of each verse, the cantor will probably feel most at ease if you play the first chord before he or she sings, even though the lyric and chord are written as though they should sound together.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in music from Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, and a master’s degree in conducting from the University of Oregon. Everyone loves a wedding, right? Well, maybe that’s not entirely true! Wedding preparation is a lot of work at every level—parish musicians not excluded. Cathedrals commonly celebrate many weddings, and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, where I am director of music, is no exception. Couples occasionally request a full choir to sing at their celebration, and it is customary for the full cathedral choir to sing at weddings of its own members. Learning new music specifically for a wedding may not be possible. I first offer music in the choir’s repertoire that can be pulled together rather effortlessly. Finding accessible new choral repertoire appropriate for weddings is of value. And, if a piece can also be used at a Sunday liturgy, it’s a big plus. The beautiful Song of Songs is commonly associated with weddings. It is the poetic interpretation of the relationship of Christ and the Church, portrayed through the love between a man and a woman. Below are three musical settings of texts from the Song of Songs that would be worthy additions to your choral repertoire for weddings. It’s the flexibility that I love most about this piece, in addition to the beautiful richness of the music for which Mayernik has become well known. The verses are suggested to be sung by a male/female duet, which are often the forces at a wedding; however, one voice may be used throughout if two voices are not present. Flute, violin, and cello parts are included in the octavo. The instrument parts serve as embellishment, intricately weaving together, similar to the three voices of the text: the voice of the bride (the Church), the bridegroom (Christ), and the companions/Daughters of Israel. While these instrument parts add to the beauty of the piece, they are not essential. And they can be done independently of each other if you do not have all three instruments available. The text of the refrain is about unity through the love of Christ. The assembly is encouraged to join in the refrain (there is an assembly edition on the back of the octavo) to further emphasize the support the assembly will give to the bride and groom. “Beloved (In the Love of Christ)” can also be used at Sunday Masses when the readings focus on unity and God’s love for us.

This setting, by British composer Andrew Wright, is equally lovely and is a great alternative to the Willan setting. “My Beloved Spake” is scored for SATB choir with some divisi in the soprano, alto, and bass sections, baritone and soprano soloists, and organ accompaniment. Although most appropriate for weddings, this piece is fitting for Sunday liturgy when the readings focus on love, such as 1 Corinthians 13. It requires skilled soloists, but the choral parts are manageable for SATB choirs capable of handling divisi. The parts are, for the most part, homophonic. “My Beloved Spake” would make a lovely addition to a spring choral concert as well. Set Me As a Seal by Christopher Walker OCP Choral Series, Octavo 12811 (print), 87598 (digital) Voicing: Two part; Difficulty: Easy/medium ocp.org/12811 Taken from the eighth chapter of the Song of Songs (8:6, 7), the text of “Set Me As a Seal” has usage well beyond that of a wedding. This setting may be sung by solo voices of mixed or equal voices, or with a two-part choir. It could also be sung with a solo voice on part one and a full unison choir singing part two. The options are numerous! The song begins as most duets, with voices in canonic entrances (“Set me as a seal upon your heart. For love is strong as death”). Composer Christopher Walker very effectively unites the two parts to end the first section, the A section, of the piece. The B section begins, once again, with staggered entrances but quickly joins together in harmonious homophony (“Many waters cannot quench love”). Returning to the A section, “Set Me as a Seal” ends as it began. This interesting setting is harmonically sophisticated but rhythmically simple, making it accessible for most choirs. © 2013 OCP.

This song also represents the passion and love between Christ and his holy Church. As designated in the New American Bible (and other translations), the first verse represents the voice of the Bride (the Church), the second verse that of the Bridegroom (Christ), the third verse that of the Companions/Daughters of Israel. Verses 4 and 5 represent the consummation of love, oneness, and joy between the Bridegroom and his Bride. The duet passages should be sung dolce and with a sense of oneness. —Luke Mayernik The text of this song adapts various verses from the Song of Songs, and is appropriate for the Rite of Marriage, and also for Communion or Preparation of the Gifts at Sunday Masses, especially when the readings focus on God’s love or our oneness with Christ. While this song may be performed by a soloist/cantor, it is most effective when sung by a male/female duet, with the assembly joining them on the refrain. ∑ ∑ D.S. j œ œœ œ ˙ to vss 3, 5 . œœ ˙ œ œ œ œ œ poco rubato ˙ œœœ œ œ œ œ ˙ Composer Notes b & b œ̇ . œ œ œ ˙˙ .. œ̇ . œ œ œ ˙˙˙ .. ˙. . œœœœ œœœœ œ˙ ? bb œ œ ˙ œ œ œ V bb b &b œ œ œ œ b bœ œ œ & b œœœ œ œ œ ˙œ ˙ œ œ œ œ œ œœœ .. œj œ œ œœœ œ œ œ œœœ œœ œ œ . a tempo poco rubato ˙ bœ œ œ ? bb œ œ œ œ œ œ œ bœ œ œ œ œ Nœ œ b œ ˙. bœ œ bœ œ 2, 4 life. b V b ˙. b & b ˙˙ .. 4 antor venue Weekly reflections for cantors on the responsorial psalm and more The Most Holy Trinity James Hansen & Melanie Coddington James Hansen and Melanie Coddington served the NPM Cantor and Lector Schools as master teachers for many years. Co-authors of Cantor Basics, Revised Edition (ocp.org/11837), they currently reside in Abingdon, Virginia. Melanie is a regional minister for Christian formation and a staff member of the Office of Catholic Education for the Diocese of Richmond. James is director of the Abingdon Schola, singers devoted to medieval proportionalrhythm chant. Today’s psalm comes from the Book of Daniel. We hear the first verses from a glorious canticle, sung in the Bible by three young Hebrews punished for defying the Babylonian king. (The term canticle signifies its origin outside the Book of Psalms.) Turn if you will to Daniel 3:52–90, and notice the structure of the biblical song. One can imagine the three singers walking in time through the fire, taking turns with the call line, and responding together, “Praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.” In the first reading from Exodus, we overhear a conversation between Moses and the Lord God as they meet inside a cloud hovering at the peak of Sinai-Horeb, the mountain of covenant. God has called this meeting, and Moses arrives as instructed, carrying a second set of tablets for the inscription of the Commandments (having smashed the first in a temper after finding the Israelites in thrall to a golden calf at the foot of the mountain). In this brief episode devoid of special effects (no flash of lightning, no roar of thunder), we hear the divine name (yhwh) proclaimed by the Lord God, and followed by a self-description that echoes throughout the psalms: “a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.” The divine name forms a bridge between this reading and today’s psalm, which declares, “blessed is your holy and glorious name.” So also, the divine essence of mercy, steadfast love, and faithfulness spans the chasm caused by human sin. measure sufficient to become fully available to the text, the music, and the assembly. Study of the psalm text and its relationship with the Sunday readings, together with musical rehearsal with one’s accompanist, form the foundation for credible proclamation. Dear cantor, embrace this ongoing discipline. It is my prayer that every cantor, from the rawest beginner to the most seasoned veteran, might pursue text study as a matter of basic preparation. While most of us do not possess Hebrew language skills, we can all leverage the work of scholars, consulting different translations and commentaries. This practice, over time, can contribute much to our understanding of these marvelous texts. Let us consider today’s selection from Psalm 147. The Lectionary version, in its zeal to highlight the gifts of word and manna present in the first reading (and in the Eucharist, on this feast of Corpus Christi), includes only a handful of verses, leaving untouched treasures lodged in the remainder. Considering the entire psalm, we hear the Lord described as the re-builder of Jerusalem, who gathers and cares for the exiles and the wounded, and who, despite their numbering as many as the stars, calls each one by name. Divine care for creation becomes the metaphor for God’s relationship to Israel. Powerful nations and strong men are rejected in favor of those who fear the Lord and depend on his care. Let these hidden treasures enrich your proclamation. The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles: At the Vigil Mass Though Ordinary Time has returned, our call persists: to study, rehearse, and pray in a A recent Sunday visit to a large parish in a major city yielded a stark example of life in an age of Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 28 anxiety. With six hundred or so in attendance in the gothic nave, the cantor, a gifted singer installed immovably in the choir loft (in the back), sang every musical selection into a microphone. Next to her, the organist, nimble and capable in most respects, suffered a kind of swell pedal seizure at every cadence, producing a calliope effect more suited to the circus than to Sunday Mass. I came away feeling that these two persons had taken their professional “relationship” to a dysfunctional place, dragging the assembly along as hostage. The action of ritual worship consists of “forth and back” dialogue, with priest, people, choir, and cantor all taking part, relating to one another within the integrity of their separate roles. When this ebb and flow of ritual power is rendered unrecognizable (in this case by a combination of instrumental idiosyncrasy and vocal tyranny) the action of liturgy breaks down, though the various parties may press on regardless. Dialogue collapses under the weight of simultaneous monologues. The two musicians described above worked in the same space at the same time, without working in relationship. Each pressed on with his or her task independent of the other and without relating to the assembly. It must not be so with you, cantor. Partner with your accompanist and face the assembly to proclaim the psalm. Sing, listen, and aim for dialogue. Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles: At the Mass during the Day The celebration of these two apostolic leaders—of institution (Peter) and of charism (Paul)—might prompt us to remember how the psalms, which we too easily take for granted, actually came to be. A strong thread of evidence exists to suggest that many of these verses began as ritual recitations during temple liturgies in the golden age of Israel. However, a time came when the people found themselves roughly transported to Babylon and transplanted there for an extended period (some fifty years). During the Babylonian exile, the temple was no more, but the sacred texts lived on. Separated from temple sacrifice, the texts themselves became a major component of worship. Resettled amidst an alien culture, Israel reached for something familiar and at the same time developed a new prayer form. Because they were starting (again) from scratch, and because the evidence suggests more than a single conjuror, it may be that one person called out the prayer and a second repeated it, and then a third added a new emphasis, just as one singer might sing a tune and another harmonize with it the second time around. Jewish custom allows the rabbi to add to the story with midrash (commentary). In this way, stories and songs, proverbs and psalms, poems and legends become an extension of the Scripture—all part of the word of God. Often we say, “It’s all good!” This may be one reason that psalms and biblical stories do not bother about accurate author attributions. It’s all in the family. 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time Today’s first reading arises from a rather chaotic section of Scripture, like an island of peace in a sea astir. Divided into two distinct parts, the Book of Zechariah presents the named prophet’s oracles in chapters 1–8. Dated soon after the return from Babylonian exile, these writings reflect Zechariah’s membership in the priesthood and his concerns about the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. The second part of the book (from which today’s passage comes) makes no further mention Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 29 of Zechariah and cannot be clearly identified with an individual prophet. A shift in structure (to poetry) marks its change of language and emphasis. The Lord God becomes a guard encamped, bending bow and wielding sword, in a time of threat and danger. In the midst of all this marshalling comes a sign of hope: the Messiah, one called “king” and “just savior,” makes an entrance anything but grand. Humility trumps might, for this one appears “meek, and riding on an ass,” yet he banishes chariot, horse, and bow to proclaim peace. (To get a sense of this veiled power, read this passage aloud in a measured, modest voice.) Today’s selection from Psalm 145 confirms and underscores the words of the unknown prophet and offers an expansive basis for praise: “The Lord is faithful in all his words and holy in all his works.” The same Lord who stoops to meekness “raises up all who are bowed down.” Just so Jesus, “meek and humble of heart,” offers rest to “all who labor and are burdened.” 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time May your own fields, dear cantor, burst with early harvest and your rivers swell with plentiful rain! May the bounty of God’s forgiveness and the fullness of God’s word be yours today! Find in this portal of blessing a preview of the generosity so flagrantly offered you in the reading from Isaiah and in Psalm 65. Our usual efforts to harvest connections between the first reading and the psalm are rarely gifted with the Lectionary largess we find this Sunday. If you have never before been moved to preach, this could be your day. The reading comes from Isaiah’s fifty-fifth chapter, proclaimed each year at the Easter Vigil. Recall (from verse 1) the invitation, “Come to the water!” and remember that God’s promises endure forever. As we hear in today’s passage, the rains fall and nourish the earth, bringing forth its bounty of seed and food. In much the same way, the word of God comes to us, raining down and welling up from the deepest parts, working as a mysterious force to bring life and growth. Read aloud the verses of the psalm, as you do each time you prepare to sing. Read with the depth of a long rain that the earth cannot resist. As you do, picture the Lord of the harvest walking the fields, while the waters fill in the footprints, the plowed furrows, and the marks of the animal hooves. Join the fields and valleys as they sing for joy. 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time Today’s first reading and psalm explore one of the all-time great mysteries of God’s conduct. We do well to take notice, lest surrounded by this sea of grace we swim along oblivious. Previously on the Avenue, I have mentioned Karen Armstrong and her recent book, Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life (New York: A.A. Knopf, 2010). In it, she cites examples of life-practices that lead to compassionate living: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,” Gandhi (p. 137); “Loving our enemies means to accept the necessity, over and over again, of forgiving those who inflict evil and injury upon us,” Martin Luther King Jr. (p. 139); “A sage ruler takes as his own mind the mind of the people,” Laozi (p. 136). These insights, simple yet profound, point out a compassionate way of living one’s everyday life, every day. Read aloud the verses selected from Psalm 86 and join the ancestors in proclaiming the Lord God “good and forgiving,” “slow to anger,” and “abounding in kindness and fidelity.” As you read these verses a second time, consider which of these divine virtues you might embrace and practice with renewed energy in your own life. Alas, goodness, forgiveness, patience, kindness, and faithfulness do not come as “apps” to add on at will. All require time and practice, awareness and intent, and a fair measure of that ubiquitous ocean of grace. Yet, over time, they reveal in us the presence of the God described in the first reading, whose divine power is tempered with toleration and wielded with restraint. 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time The Lectionary version of any given Sunday psalm limits the size of the text to a reasonable number of verses, while still rendering a part of the intended meaning. If one’s only experience of the psalms occurs at Sunday Mass, one might suppose that all psalms tally up to the same thrifty measure. Such an assumption would do the gravest injustice to Psalm 119, the lengthiest of all the psalms—the perennial record holder and long-distance champion. In addition to great length, Psalm 119 boasts a remarkable structure. Arranged alphabetically, it bears the scholarly designation “acrostic.” Each of the first eight verses begins with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet; each of the next eight verses begins with the second; and so on, through all twenty-two letters (total = 176 verses). Alas, translation obscures this artistic grandeur. The subject of Psalm 119, the law (Torah), generates a certain level of intensity throughout the text. As you read aloud the verses for today, you hear various synonyms (words, commands, precepts, decrees) but all refer to the law. It would not be a stretch to call this psalm legalistic, yet not in the negative sense of the word. Benedictine Father Thomas Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 30 Wahl (The Lord’s Song in a Foreign Land, Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 1998) notes that every one of the twenty-two stanzas contains language expressing delight, joy, love, and even passionate desire for the law of God. Clearly, the psalmist clings to Torah as the source of life in covenant. 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time This Sunday’s first reading and psalm make me dream of the day when psalmists and lectors will gather regularly to compare the texts that they proclaim at Mass one after the other. On this particular day, with these particular texts, such an exchange would be all about the verbs. Imagine examining together the important verbs in the first reading: “come” (four times), “heed,” and “listen.” You might discover that the feast of food and drink offered here points beyond itself, that this reading invites human beings into real intimacy with God. Imagine sharing how your interpretation of the psalm also leans on the verbs, those portraying the human expression of need (“look hopefully,” “call”) and those portraying God’s actions toward us (“feed,” “answer,” “give,” “open,” and “satisfy”). You might conclude that the same Lord who invites us to the rich feast in Isaiah 55 serves up the satisfying banquet in Psalm 145. You might also notice that the final verse points once more to intimacy: “The Lord is near to all who call upon him.” As you explore these texts together, reading them to each other and sharing your insights, you might find it easier to share ideas about emphasis, vocal color, volume, and other expressive components of your proclamations. You might reasonably find that the verbs hold the key to your interpretations. In the process, it might also become easier to understand the link between table nourishment and the fulfillment of an authentic life through intimacy. 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Come with me, cantor. Let us follow Elijah on his pilgrimage to the mountain; alone, without allies or answers, and seeking shelter. His experience echoes that of another hero of Israel, Moses. (Remember his close encounter on the same mountain of God—how he hid in the cleft of the rock as the Lord passed by.) Equally eerie, these two episodes of divine-human contact assume an altered state of consciousness on the part of the human. Each of these heroes seeks divine help, being at the end of his rope and up against the wall. I am reminded of the classic scenario thought to accompany a lament of the community: All the people (men and women and children, indicating the desperate nature of the situation) gather outside of town, on neutral ground, to face the Lord with a complaint. They send forward their best spokesperson to state their case before God. The speaker, proceeding in the finest tradition of intercessors, narrates the relevant history, comes to the question, and states it with all his strength. Then, everyone sits down to wait for God’s answer. If you have followed me into this wilderness, pick up today’s selection from Psalm 85 and read this oracle aloud in your best prophet-voice. Imagine facing the community gathered and waiting (forever, it seems) for God’s answer. Fully present and alive, proclaim these words of restoration and reassurance to all present (men and women and children). Now you are ready to begin rehearsing the psalm in its musical setting. The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: At the Vigil Mass Don’t lean back; lean forward! This little piece of advice fascinated me when I first encountered it as an advertising slogan for MSNBC News. The television logo featured the words “Lean Forward” vying with the perennial peacock for visual prominence. At the time, it struck me as unusual for a network, and I took notice. The success of this imperative has since spread to a few new books. For example, Cheryl Sandberg, the highly successful business guru, has written about women in the workplace under the title Lean In, counseling women to take charge of their occupational destinies. Similarly, Mary Anne Rademacher has penned Lean Forward In Your Life, subtitled Begin Each Day As if It Were on Purpose. I confess that this synergy has begun to interest, even excite, me, for this catchy bit of advice (part of my liturgical theology for years) now seems to be catching on in the world at large. Sulpician Father Eugene Walsh (1911–1989), who taught liturgy to generations of priests and influenced liturgical practitioners of all stripes through his writings and workshops, helped us to realize that while lectors and cantors must persevere in developing their communication skills, those in the pew must be convinced that active listening sets the stage for authentic response. With this in mind, every time a lector or cantor moves to the ambo, I shift forward, so that my back no longer leans on the pew. Suddenly, everything changes, and I become ready to spring into the Scripture. © 2013 OCP. All rights reserved.

He is faculty coordinator for the NPM Pastoral Liturgy Institute and a member of the Catholic Common Ground Initiative Committee. Paul is editor and co-author of Celebrating Marriage: Preparing the Wedding Liturgy, a workbook for engaged couples (ocp. org/30106208). The Most Holy Trinity • Today’s readings and prayers are found in the “Solemnities of the Lord during Ordinary Time” sections of the Lectionary and Roman Missal respectively. The preface entitled “The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity” is included with the other prayers for the solemnity. Eucharistic Prayer III, with its explicit reference to the Trinity, would be a good choice. • For today’s observance of Father’s Day, the Book of Blessings (ch. 56) provides three sample intercessions for the Universal Prayer, as well as a blessing of fathers that may be used as the Prayer over the People during the Concluding Rites at Mass. The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ • If, as the note with today’s prayers in the Roman Missal suggests, a procession with the host will follow Mass today, a host consecrated at the Mass is placed in the monstrance, which is set on the altar after Communion. Following the Prayer after Communion, the Concluding Rites are omitted and the procession begins. For more information about this procession, see Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass (101–108; available in The Rites of the Catholic Church, Volume One [OCP, 800-LITURGY, ocp.org/7660]). Saints Peter and Paul • The solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, which is observed on June 29, takes precedence over the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time this year. Two sets of readings and prayers are provided for today’s solemnity. The readings and prayers for the Vigil Mass are used at Masses on the evening of Saturday, June 28, while the readings and prayers for the Mass during the Day are used on Sunday, June 29. The readings for the Vigil Mass (590) and Mass during the Day (591) are in the “Solemnities and Feasts of the Lord and Saints” section of the Lectionary. Be sure that the priest, deacon, music minister, and lector know which set of readings will be used at which Masses this Saturday evening and Sunday. The prayers for the Vigil Mass and Mass during the Day are at June 29 in the “Proper of Saints” section of the Roman Missal. The preface entitled “The twofold mission of Peter and Paul in the Church” is printed with and without music with the prayers for Mass during the Day, although it is also used at the Vigil Mass. The Solemn Blessing for Saints Peter and Paul (#16 in the “Solemn Blessings” section of the Roman Missal) is suggested for the Concluding Rites at today’s Masses. • For summer church decorating, To Crown the Year: Decorating the Church through the Seasons (165–166; OCP, 800-LITURGY, ocp. org/10640) suggests setting up a seasonal shrine area with images of the saints whose feast days occur in the summer, including Saints Peter and Paul. If there are permanent statues or images of Saints Peter and Paul in the church, consider highlighting them today with candles, flowers, or fabric. • In connection with today’s remembrance of Saint Peter, who was a fisherman, some fishing communities have a parade of boats and a blessing of the fleet on or near June 29 (see the front cover of this issue of Today’s Liturgy). See the Order for the Blessing of Boats and Fishing Gear in the Book of Blessings (ch. 22; Liturgical Press, 800-858-5450, litpress.org). Sundays in Ordinary Time • After more than ninety days of Lent, Triduum, and Easter, and then three Sundays on which solemnities were celebrated, we return to the Sundays of Ordinary Time on July 6. Remember to move the ribbons in the Roman Missal, Lectionary, and Book of the Gospels to the correct pages in the “Ordinary Time” section. • These summer weeks of Ordinary Time are a good opportunity to look through the worship space and sacristy for items that need to be cleaned, replaced, or moved. As the Ceremonial of Bishops notes, “The first of all the Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 32 elements belonging to the beauty of the place where the liturgy is celebrated is the spotless cleanliness of the floor and walls and of all the images and articles that will be used or seen during a service” (38). Invite sacristans, environment and art committee members, and other community members to assist with maintenance and housekeeping on a few select summer days. • As part of this process, take a good look at the community’s vestments: albs, stoles, chasubles, dalmatics, cope, humeral veil, funeral pall. Are some vestments in need of cleaning or repair? Which can be cleaned with a regular washing machine and which need to be sent out for dry cleaning? Can a sacristan, member of the art and environment committee, or other community member do any necessary repairs, or do damaged vestments need to be returned to the fabricator for repair? Have some vestments become so worn out that they need to be replaced? Check out a variety of vestment suppliers and choose vestments that are of high quality. Read the pertinent guidelines about vestments in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (335–347; ocp. org/30108143) and Built of Living Stones (164–166). • The mission of spreading God’s word, which is entrusted to each baptized person, is one of the messages of the readings for the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Evangelization in today’s world, especially among young people, requires creative approaches. See the video and written materials entitled Catholicism: The New Evangelization by Father Robert Barron (catholicismnewevangelization.com) and the “Theology on Tap” program (renewtot.org), which presents discussions about faith topics in restaurants, pubs, and coffeehouses. • As part of summer maintenance and housekeeping, make sure the baptismal font is clean and in good condition. Is the font “visible and accessible to all who enter the church building” (Built of Living Stones 67)? • Summer maintenance and housekeeping should also attend to the vessels used for Communion. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal notes that these “should be made from precious metal” (328), but also notes that “other solid materials which in the common estimation in each region are considered precious or noble” may also be used in the dioceses of the United States (329). The paten should be large enough to hold “the bread both for the Priest and the Deacon and also for the other ministers and for the faithful” (331). Ideally, additional plates or bowls for the distribution of the Body of Christ and additional chalices for the distribution of the Blood of Christ will match or be similar in material and design to the large paten. Are the vessels in your sacristy in good condition, or do they need to be polished or repaired? Do you have enough vessels for the distribution of Communion under both kinds? When considering purchasing additional vessels, consult local artists as well as catalogs that carry vessels from a variety of high quality fabricators (such as Meyer Vogelpohl, 800543-0264, mvchurchgoods.com). • On Wednesday, August 27, the Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Monica, the mother of Saint Augustine. Her son, who would become the bishop of Hippo in North Africa and one of the Church’s most influential theologians, was baptized as an adult after a rather unruly youth in which, among other things, he fathered a child out of wedlock. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 33 Saint Monica was persistent in her prayers for him and in offering him the unconditional love of a mother throughout his troubled youth. Because of this, she is invoked as the patron saint of parents of troubled children. See the moving illustration of Saint Monica as a mother watching her son being led away by police in the book Patrons and Protectors: In Times of Need by Michael O’Neill McGrath (Liturgy Training Publications, 800-933-1800, ltp.org). Many parents know the heartache of loving a child who makes bad decisions and gets in trouble, despite their good parenting. Reach out to them with O’Neill’s image of Saint Monica and her story of hope and unconditional love. The Memorial of Saint Augustine, her son, is celebrated this Thursday. • Pay attention in summer maintenance and housekeeping to the linens used for liturgy throughout the year. Do any of the altar cloths, corporals, or purificators need to be repaired or replaced? Are there enough towels for washing the priest’s hands at Mass, washing feet on Holy Thursday, and drying neophytes as they emerge from the baptismal font? The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary • The Gloria and Creed are both used at Masses for today’s solemnity. The Solemn Blessing for celebrations of the Blessed Virgin Mary is recommended for the end of Mass today. • If there is an image of Mary in or near the worship space, decorate it for today’s solemnity. Consider celebrating the “Order of Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary” today. It is available in The Rites of the Catholic Church, Volume Two. © 2013 OCP. All rights reserved.

Published by OCP. All rights reserved. Composer Reflection This millennium hymn was commissioned by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles for the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. It was written to be useful in a variety of situations. A refrain in Latin was chosen as a universal symbol for multi-language occasions. Verses are provided in English and Spanish, with two special verses for ordinations. If you want to sing verses in other languages, feel free to adapt the given words and fashion verses in the language(s) of your parish. Send translations to OCP for possible distribution to other parishes seeking optional languages. “Laudate, Laudate Dominum” is a processional song for the beginning or end of a celebration. It can be sung in a variety of ways, depending on the resources of your parish: 1) with keyboard accompaniment, the refrain and verses sung by the whole assembly in unison. 2) with the assembly singing just the refrain, supported by the choir adding harmony and a descant, and a cantor or the choir singing the verses. 3) with a contemporary group (guitars and keyboards) using the chords as a basis and adding harmony and the instrument part for variety. 4) with full organ, brass, and timpani for grand occasions and choral festivals using the optional final ending. Parts for four-part brass, timpani, and solo instrument are available in manuscript form, edition 70078. The piece is ideal as a wedding processional by playing the accompaniment on the organ, leaving out the introduction. Instruments may play the soprano and solo instrument parts. I am most grateful to Frank Brownstead for his encouragement and advice on the way to construct the hymn; to Society of the Divine Word Father William Bonner, chairperson of the committee that commissioned it; Canon Noel Vincent of Liverpool Cathedral; and to Sue Pontin for her invaluable help in writing the Latin refrain. —Christopher Walker © 2013 OCP.

My doctors discovered that my heart was physically deteriorating. They advised me to be still, relax, and do nothing until they could figure out a good plan of medical action. Something inside told me that if a cardiologist recommends sitting on the couch for a while, something is very wrong. The reality: I could die soon. It was in this moment that things in my life became very clear; the important things and the unimportant things. They were as obvious as black is from white. I felt the Spirit urge me to go and find a quiet place for prayer and surrender. There is a place that I like to go to in the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains that helps me hear that still small voice, that deafening silence. I listened to that voice and went to the quiet place. It was there that I came to the powerful realization that I must let go of all the things of this earth—a preparation for my passing into my real birth. I said my silent goodbyes and thought about my giveaways. It was then that this thought came forth: I must let go of my human grasp of Christ in me. Let go of the ego that thinks it can hold God in a box. I must let the Christ in me rise, so that I can rise with him. I prayed in that place for vision and guidance. I gave thanks to the Creator for my gifts and my life and all my relations. Two weeks later I received a phone call from my cardiologist saying, “Trevor, I don’t know how to tell you this but your heart has physically changed. Somehow your heart is different and stronger than all of the other images we have taken. I guess you can call this a miracle. I don’t know how to explain this.” I give thanks every day. “Christ in me arise and I shall rise with you” (refrain). —Trevor Thomson © 2013 OCP. All rights reserved. you. © 2008, Trevor Thomson.

Œ Composer Reflection At the center of our Christian faith is the practice of learning to give God praise in all things. This is not only part of communal worship but also the essence of our personal spiritual lives as we experience God’s presence. Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s famous maxim “All for the greater glory of God” is at the center of this song. It is a prayer expressing the desire that every moment of our living may become a moment of praise. We never know when we might breathe our last breath, speak our last word, or sing our final song. We hope that we can live every day, every moment, as if it might be our last. Each verse is designed for singing as a pair. You will notice that the first of the pair leads harmonically into the second. If you need to shorten this piece, keep this in mind. It’s simply a matter of using the appropriate ending. Note also that the piece modulates up a whole step for the final pair of verses. It would certainly be possible to forego this modulation if desired. In that case, simply use the endings that take you back to the accompaniment for verses 3 and 4. The vocal arrangement is very versatile. The piece can be sung completely as a solo or entirely as an SAB choir arrangement. More variety can be achieved by using a combination of these options. There’s a descant provided for use in the final verses. —Dan Schutte © 2013 OCP. All rights reserved.

The idea was conceived when we realized that our ministries as church ministers crossed quite regularly, that we had the same objective and shared the same passion in ministry, and that we were brothers in mission for the same cause: to tear down walls of indifference and prejudice and do away with senseless divisions so as to get people singing together and truly raising their voices as one, regardless of language, ethnicity, or age group. “Unidos” is about celebrating our oneness in Christ by way of acceptance, respect, and unconditional love for one another. It is about discovering the beauty in multicultural worship by making room for one another and exercising radical hospitality. As our US bishops teach us in Welcoming the Stranger: A Parish Guide (USCCB 2004), “by interacting with diverse people who make up our parish community, we are strengthened in our ‘catholicity’ and are made more aware that we are one in Christ” (p. 7). Our beloved Pope Francis further tells us: “Let us be renewed by God’s mercy, let us be loved by Jesus, let us enable the power of his love to transform our lives too; and let us become agents of this mercy, channels through which God can water the earth, protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish” (Easter Urbi et Orbi message on March 31, 2013). “Unidos,” with its fun Latin rock rhythm and catchy melody, reminds us that this ongoing call to discipleship and evangelization ought to ignite in us a proactive and conscientious response—a renewed way of life— rather than a passive and comfortably unchallenging acceptance of just another teaching and exhortation of our Catholic faith. Brothers and sisters, in a spirit of sacred unity, let this be our prayer: “Haznos instumentos de tu paz y amor; haznos un reflejo de tu rostro, Oh Señor” (Make us intruments of your peace and love; make us a reflection of your face, O Lord). —Santiago Fernández © 2013 OCP.

Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 37 The Most Holy Trinity 6/15/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS The mystery of the Holy Trinity is central to the Christian faith. At citation 266, the Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us: “‘Now this is the Catholic faith: We worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity, without either confusing the persons or dividing the substance; for the person of the Father is one, the Son’s is another, the Holy Spirit’s another; but the Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal’ (Athanasian Creed: DS 75; ND 16).” What better time to refresh these major tenets of our faith than in the liturgy today! The benediction at the end of today’s second reading from Paul to the Corinthians (verse 14) is one of the most explicit texts on the Trinity found in Scripture. Paul begins with a direct message for the Corinthians and surely for all of us: mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace. And if we do, the God of love and peace will be with us. Moses, in the first reading, calls his people a “stiff-necked people.” There’s certainly a lot to think about today besides selecting music. Today’s music suggestions lead off with “God, We Praise You” (nettleton), which is based on the Te Deum. Be sure to read Benedictine Sister Genevieve Glen’s article (p. 16) on this ancient hymn of praise to the Trinity. Consider reading it to the choir in its entirety. The last several selections in each category of the music suggestions are for Father’s Day. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Revelation 1:8 Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; to God who is, who was, and who is to come. FIRST READING Exodus 34:4b–6, 8–9 (164A) Moses went up Mount Sinai to meet the Lord. He begged the Lord to accompany the Israelites, “a stiff-necked people.” He asked God to pardon their wickedness and sin. GOSPEL John 3:16–18 God loved the world so greatly that he sent his only Son that all may have eternal life. The Son did not come to condemn the world but that it might be saved through him. Whoever believes in the Lord will live forever. RESPONSORIAL PSALMDaniel 3:52, 53, 54, 55 Glory and praise forever! SECOND READING 2 Corinthians 13:11–13 Paul encouraged the Corinthians to mend their sinful ways and help one another live in peace. He wrote to them, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.” COMMUNION ANTIPHON Galatians 4:6 Since you are children of God, God has sent into your hearts the Spirit of his Son, the Spirit who cries out: Abba, Father. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 39 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (corpus Christi) 6/22/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS Often called Corpus Christi, this solemnity has always celebrated both the Body and Blood of the Lord and echoes Holy Thursday’s eucharistic focus. The feast dates back as far as the thirteenth century. By the fourteenth century, eucharistic processions became prominent and remain to this day. Refer to Paul Covino’s “Ritual Notes” for exposition and processions, both at the end of Mass and other times (p. 32, more at Liturgy.com). One point of clarification: “Genuflection in the presence of the blessed sacrament, whether reserved in the tabernacle or exposed for public adoration, is on one knee” (see “The Roman Ritual: Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass” 84, in the USCCB’s Holy Communion Outside Mass). The music selections for Communion offer a variety of musical styles appropriate for today’s celebration. Father Michael Joncas’ “Sacramentum Caritatis” (Sacrament of Love) is also the title of Pope Benedict’s apostolic exhortation on the gift of the Eucharist. An octavo is available (print: 20616, digital: 89253). The verses reflect the mystery of the Eucharist, past, present, and future, and are intended to be sung by a cantor and choir. “Miracle of Grace” by Curtis Stephan combines theological depth with a contemporary sound. Curtis’ faith and a masters’ degree in jazz from North Texas have influenced his sound as well as his vocation. He also ministers at one of the largest parishes in the United States: more than 30,000 people! The “Miracle of Grace” accompaniment package includes parts for keyboard, guitar, solo instrument, solo instrument in B-flat, solo instrument in E-flat, percussion, and unison/two part vocals. Go to ocp.org/products/90022. For processions today, consider the anthem-like “Christ before Us” (suo gân). — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATIONJohn 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live forever. FIRST READINGDeuteronomy 8:2–3, 14b–16a (167A) Moses reminded the people that for forty years God tested them in the desert. The Lord let them be hungry and fed them manna, showing that God’s people do not live by bread alone. GOSPEL John 6:51–58 Jesus told the crowds that he is the living bread come down from heaven. All who want eternal life must “eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood.” Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” RESPONSORIAL PSALMPsalm 147:12–13, 14–15, 19–20 Praise the Lord, Jerusalem. Or: Alleluia. SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 10:16–17 By sharing in the eucharistic bread, Christians, though many, are one body in Christ. COMMUNION ANTIPHON John 6:57 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him, says the Lord. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 41 Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles: Vigil 6/28/2014 MUSIC SUGGESTIONS In a homily for the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, Dominican Father Timothy Radcliffe spoke of the tension between the two men and their roles in the mission of the Church. For Peter, head of the Jewish-Christian community, guarding the tradition that he received from Jesus was his primary focus. Paul, who was focused on reaching out to the Gentiles, found that innovation was necessary. In today’s Church, tension mounts even as it did in the early Christian era. Alas, all in good faith. Robert Feduccia’s essay on the New Evangelization on page 10 explains that after we recover what is most authentic about our faith, the mandate requires us to update the expressions and methods we use to communicate it to people of our era. In a way, it’s the same kind of struggle that Peter and Paul faced (see Galatians 2). In this time of the New Evangelization, we are challenged to maintain the tradition and yet look for innovative ways to pass it forward. It goes to show that there was tension between fidelity to the tradition and to the Spirit’s innovative impulse even as far back as Saints Peter and Paul. Father Radcliffe points out that, “In hindsight we can usually discern that what seemed revolutionary at the time was in fact a fruit of the tradition, and its faithful development, but in the heat of the moment this may be hard to see.” For more of the homily, see tinyurl.com/Radcliff-homily. There’s certainly some fine material in this reading for reconciliatory preaching.

First ReadingActs of the Apostles 3:1–10 (590) As Peter and John enter the temple, a crippled beggar asks for alms. Peter implores the name of Jesus and instructs the man to walk. Immediately, the man is healed and he enters the temple rejoicing and praising God. Those assembled are struck with astonishment. Responsorial PsalmPsalm 19:2–3, 4–5 Their message goes out through all the earth. Gospel AcclamationJohn 21:17 Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you. GospelJohn 21:15–19 Simon Peter is questioned three times by Jesus, “Do you love me?” Each time the answer is affirmative. Christ instructs Peter to “feed my lambs, tend my sheep and follow me.” Christ also prophesies about Peter’s death. Communion Antiphon cf. John 21:15, 17 Simon, Son of John, do you love me more than these? Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you. Second Reading Galatians 1:11–20 Paul speaks to the Galatians, saying he was called by God to preach the Good News to the Gentiles. He informs them that his calling came by revelation and not by human invention. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 43 Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles: Day 6/29/2014 MUSIC SUGGESTIONS Today’s Gospel contains a central reading from Matthew: the confession of Peter. Jesus presses Peter, “Who do you say that I am?” Surprisingly, Peter comes up with the perfect answer. Three times he denies Jesus later in the journey (Matthew 26), but today he answers correctly. And he is called “blessed.” Some find the last verse, “Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” troublesome, especially if they focus on the first half of the verse—the binding part. But the balance of the verse is about freedom. Today might be a great day to remember all our good shepherd priests. So many have freed people from their guilt, their grief, and their sin, and showed them the loving face of Jesus. Pope Francis sets an example for all through his own ministry, which is so much more encompassing than anything we can imagine. What about us? Do we, in our ministry, find more ways to free people than to bind them? Do we live out the Beatitudes or just sing about them? Can we make the words of Bob Hurd’s “With All the Saints” a reality? On Friday, July 4, in the United States we will celebrate the birth of freedom. Will we settle for singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” or will we work for peace? Free the oppressed for the Independence Day weekend— have a choir party! — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key.

First ReadingActs of the Apostles 12:1–11 (591) When King Herod decides to persecute the Christians, Peter is arrested and put in prison. That night an angel appears, frees Peter from his chains, and leads him safely out of prison. Peter at first is astonished, but then realizes the angel was sent by God. Responsorial PsalmPsalm 34:2–3, 4–5, 6–7, 8–9 The angel of the Lord will rescue those who fear him. Gospel Acclamation Matthew 16:18 You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. Gospel Matthew 16:13–19 Jesus asks his disciples what people are saying about him. Peter proclaims Jesus as the Son of God. Because of his great faith, Peter is charged with caring for the Church on earth. Communion Antiphon cf. Matthew 16:16, 18 Peter said to Jesus: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus replied: You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church. Second Reading 2 Timothy 4:6–8, 17–18 Paul has suffered many hardships but is not disheartened, knowing that a great reward is waiting in heaven for all who hope in the Lord. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 45 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time 7/6/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS Remember: people go away for the extended Fourth of July weekend. Keep the music uncomplicated. Responsorial Psalm 145 is a familiar common psalm and is available in Respond & Acclaim as well as the psalter section of your worship resource. If you look at the fine print under the words “Responsorial Psalm” in the Liturgy of the Word part of your missal, you will find a short list of common psalms that may be used in place of the psalm of the day (if necessary). I make sure that the assembly knows several of these in case the cantor decides to leave town without getting a substitute. In some parishes, finding a substitute cantor can be difficult. It happens to all of us! Recently, a cantor did not appear for the scheduled liturgy. I pulled out Christopher Walker’s Psalm 27, “The Lord Is My Light,” (BB/MI 684) a common psalm that the assembly knew. I presumed they could carry the psalm on their own. Wasn’t I surprised when no one sang the verses? There are more ways to sing the responsorial psalm than having the cantor sing the verses and the assembly sing the antiphon. “In antiphonal style, the praying assembly is divided into two groups. The text of the psalm is shared between them” (Sing to the Lord 234, ocp.org/20995). Divide the assembly into two alternating groups: left side/right side; men/women; women/all, etc. Be sure to tell the assembly before Mass begins what will happen. That’s what I did. But our situations may be very different. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key. For additional music suggestions, visit liturgy.com and spiritandsong.com/podcasts.

Your praise, O God, like your name, reaches the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with saving justice. FIRST READING Zechariah 9:9–10 (100A) The prophet foretold the coming of the savior and king who would proclaim peace to all the nations of the earth. RESPONSORIAL PSALMPsalm 145:1–2, 8–9, 10–11, 13–14 I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God. Or: Alleluia. SECOND READING Romans 8:9, 11–13 Paul wrote that the Spirit of God lives in all who are Christ’s. They should live not according to the flesh but in God’s Spirit. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Matthew 11:25 Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. GOSPEL Matthew 11:25–30 Jesus invited the people, saying “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” COMMUNION ANTIPHON Psalm 34 (33):9 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed the man who seeks refuge in him. Or Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you, says the Lord. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 47 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time 7/13/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS As we sail further into Ordinary Time (if there is such a time for musicians), let’s review some ordinary endeavors that may have extraordinary results. The New Evangelization calls us first to examine our own faith and then preach the Gospel to the world. We all know Catholics who don’t come to church (including our own family members). Some call themselves “retired” Catholics. A sign that says “Come Home” is all well and good for some, but what does “home” mean? I meet young adults who don’t go to church because their parents stopped going when they were small. (Thank God for grandparents!) Others stay away because they don’t feel welcome. If we want to preach Jesus seriously, we must not only care for those in our parishes, but also seek the lost. Most of us know someone who is lost and the numbers continue to grow. What can we do? Begin with hospitality. If you are considering putting a banner outside, perhaps it might say “Welcome.” Or how about “Sinners and Saints Welcome”? One major reason why people return to a particular church is because they feel welcome. The Greek word for “hospitality” translated literally means “love of strangers.” In the Old Testament, it’s as old as Abraham entertaining three strangers (see Genesis 18). In the New Testament, Hebrews 13 reminds us of Abraham’s visitors: “Continue to love each other…and remember always to welcome strangers, for by doing this, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.” See Hospitality Basics by Dr. Glenn Byer with Michael Prendergast (ocp.org/6147). — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key.

Psalm 17 (16):15 As for me, in justice I shall behold your face; I shall be filled with the vision of your glory. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower. All who come to him will have life forever. FIRST READINGIsaiah 55:10–11 (103A) Just as rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return until the whole earth is watered and fruitful, so shall the word of the Lord go out to do God’s will and accomplish God’s purpose. GOSPEL Matthew 13:1–23 or 13:1–9 Jesus told the parable of the sower. When disciples questioned him about it, he explained how those who hear the word and understand it will bear fruit and yield a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. RESPONSORIAL PSALMPsalm 65:10, 11, 12–13, 14 The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 84 (83):4–5 The sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for her young: by your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are they who dwell in your house, for ever singing your praise. OrJohn 6:57 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him, says the Lord. SECOND READING Romans 8:18–23 Paul told the Romans that the whole created world eagerly awaits the revelation of God’s children. The world will be set free and take part in the wondrous freedom of God’s children. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 49 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time 7/20/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS Today’s three parables include the story of the weed and the wheat, the mustard seed, and the leavened yeast. The first parable in a nutshell is “It ain’t over till it’s over” (thank you, Yogi Berra). The second, that of the mustard seed, may be an image of the Church—starting with a small community and growing to immensity; and the parable of the leaven shows that even something small and quiet (leaven in the flour) works silently and strongly just like the word of God in people when their hearts are open. All of these parables tell us that God has things under control. Summertime may allow us more time for relaxing, renewing, and creating. If you think you’ve heard everything you needed to know about hospitality, read on. Hospitality. “Folks, it’s not the eighties anymore.” When I first heard a priest say this to a liturgy committee, I was offended. But I think there was a lot more truth to that statement than I realized at the time. It has implications for our current efforts to evangelize both parishioners and visitors to our liturgies. Much has changed. Things that were innovative are very often now the norm—such as singing the liturgy. One thing has not changed, though. In my Vatican II lifetime, there has been continual tension around how people should behave in the presence of God in church. Pope Benedict’s reverence for tradition combined with Pope Francis’ focus on the marginalized offer us a fresh opportunity to strike a balance between the two. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key.

The Lord sustains my soul. I will sacrifice to you with willing heart, and praise your name, O Lord, for it is good. FIRST READINGWisdom 12:13, 16–19 (106A) Though powerful, the Lord judges with mercy and governs with care. God teaches people kindness, hope, and repentance. RESPONSORIAL PSALMPsalm 86:5–6, 9–10, 15–16 Lord, you are good and forgiving. SECOND READING Romans 8:26–27 Paul reminded the Romans that the Spirit helps God’s people in their weakness and intercedes for them. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Matthew 11:25 Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. GOSPEL Matthew 13:24–43 or 13:24–30 Jesus told the crowd the parable of the wheat and the weeds, the parable of the mustard seed, and the parable of the yeast. Through parables, he encouraged his disciples, assuring them that God’s saints would shine like the sun in the heavenly reign. COMMUNION ANTIPHON Psalm 111 (110):4–5 The Lord, the gracious, the merciful, has made a memorial of his wonders; he gives food to those who fear him. Or Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock, says the Lord. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door to me, I will enter his house and dine with him, and he with me. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 51 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time 7/27/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS Today we hear three more parables about what the kingdom of heaven is like: the buried treasure, the pearl of great price, and the fishing net (sometimes called the parable of the dragnet). Allegories of the mystery of the kingdom of God permeate the readings. Only the first two parables are included in the shorter version of today’s Gospel. The verses of today’s responsorial psalm are excerpted from Psalm 119, the longest of the psalms with 176 verses. It’s about the law and obedience to the law. If it sounds familiar, it may be because various verses are taken from other wisdom psalms. Psalm 19, a wisdom psalm, listed several times in the Communion suggestions, echoes similar thoughts to Psalm 119 and complements it nicely. Hospitality cont’d. There’s an extraordinarily fine article on liturgical hospitality entitled “Receiving Guests as Christ: Inspiration from Two Monasteries” by Arthur Paul Boers. It is based on the author’s experience at two Benedictine Monasteries: Christ in the Desert in Abiquiu, New Mexico, and Saint John’s in Collegeville, Minnesota. As you may know, the Benedictine charism is one of hospitality. “Service after service impresses a visitor with beauty, solemnity, reverence, and holy joy worthy of giving praise to our awesome God.” He then writes of the attention and deep respect given to visitors and seekers. You can find the article online at tinyurl.com/Monastic-Hospitality.

Psalm 68 (67):6–7, 36 God is in his holy place, God who unites those who dwell in his house; he himself gives might and strength to his people. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Matthew 11:25 Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; for you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. FIRST READING 1 Kings 3:5, 7–12 (109A) God appeared to Solomon in a dream and offered him whatever he desired. The king requested wisdom to govern Israel well. The Lord granted the request. GOSPEL Matthew 13:44–52 or 13:44–46 Jesus said that the reign of heaven is like a buried treasure and a fine pearl. Those who find it sell all they have to attain it. God is like a householder who brings forth good things, new and old. RESPONSORIAL PSALMPsalm 119:57, 72, 76–77, 127–130 Lord, I love your commands. COMMUNION ANTIPHON Psalm 103 (102):2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all his benefits. Or Matthew 5:7–8 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see God. SECOND READING Romans 8:28–30 All things work for good for people who love God. The Lord God knows, predestines, justifies and glorifies people and calls them to share Christ’s love. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 53 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time 8/3/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS Two very contrasting meals frame today’s Gospel. One is a backdrop and one is the focal point. Behind the story of John the Baptist’s death is a decadent banquet for the rich where Salomé requests the head of John the Baptist as a gift from Herod (Matthew 14:1–12). In today’s Gospel, Jesus, though grief-stricken over the news of John’s death, reaches out to heal and feed 5,000 poor people at the edge of the sea. The text of Jesuit Father John Foley’s invitational hymn “Come to the Water” is based on the first reading from Isaiah. It fits well with the setting of Jesus feeding the 5,000. This passionate yet simple classic has been a tool for evangelization, particularly in colleges and universities internationally. Hospitality cont’d. A few more thoughts from Boer’s “Receiving Guests as Christ: Inspiration from Two Monasteries.” 1) Visitors are always welcomed at the beginning of Mass; 2) they are regularly prayed for in the Prayer of the Faithful; 3) they are wished safe journey at the end of Mass. (See my column on page 48 regarding the presence of angels.) Granted, there’s a high volume of visitors to these monasteries. But isn’t implementing one or all of these in our parishes worth it, even for the sake of one “lost” person? Isn’t that what evangelization is all about? Jesus left the fold to seek the lost. Isn’t it time that we do the same? How? 1) Preach the Gospel; 2) Use appropriate, competently led music for worship; 3) Pay attention to the visitors at liturgy. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key.

You are my rescuer, my help; O Lord, do not delay. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Matthew 4:4b One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. FIRST READINGIsaiah 55:1–3 (112A) The Lord invites all who are thirsty to “Come to the water!” God asks the people to take heed, that they may drink wine and milk, eat well, and delight in the rich fare of the everlasting covenant. GOSPEL Matthew 14:13–21 Huge crowds followed Jesus. He felt compassion for them and healed the sick. He saw that they were hungry and, rather than send them away empty, he gave them bread and fish in abundance. RESPONSORIAL PSALMPsalm 145:8–9, 15–16, 17–18 The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs. COMMUNION ANTIPHON Wisdom 16:20 You have given us, O Lord, bread from heaven, endowed with all delights and sweetness in every taste. OrJohn 6:35 I am the bread of life, says the Lord; whoever comes to me will not hunger and whoever believes in me will not thirst. SECOND READING Romans 8:35, 37–39 Nothing, not even death, can separate the faithful from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 55 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time 8/10/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS Today’s Gospel lesson of Jesus calming the storm is related to the cover of this issue of Today’s Liturgy, which features the blessing of the fleet. The blessing custom originated in southern European fishing communities centuries ago but the idea goes back as far as biblical times. Although various blessings are used in different cities and countries, most ask for the safety of mariners, a good catch, clean water, and peace on earth. Saint Peter is the logical patron. Another water blessing that takes place near the feast of the Assumption is the “wedding of the sea.” As the story goes, a fifteenth-century Venetian bishop threw his episcopal ring into the sea from a ship during a storm on the solemnity of the Assumption, and the waters became calm. Today, part of the ceremony involves throwing a wreath of flowers and a ring from a boat into the water. Because of the celebration, a Marian procession through the town often takes place. Speaking of rings, the Polish city of Krakow threw its hat in the ring to host World Youth Day, and it won! The theme of the international gathering is the Beatitudes. Youth will celebrate in their local dioceses in 2014 and 2015 and then join Pope Francis in 2016 in the homeland of Karol Wojtyla, now Saint John Paul II, Pope. The common message of all three readings today: God is here for us at all times, from a tiny whispering sound to a mighty storm. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key.

Psalm 74 (73):20, 19, 22, 23 Look to your covenant, O Lord, and forget not the life of your poor ones for ever. Arise, O God, and defend your cause, and forget not the cries of those who seek you. FIRST READING 1 Kings 19:9a, 11–13a (115A) Elijah the prophet heard the Lord’s voice not in wind, not in an earthquake nor in fire, but in a tiny whisper. When he heard the Lord, Elijah hid his face in his cloak, overcome with awe. RESPONSORIAL PSALMPsalm 85:9, 10, 11–12, 13–14 Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation. SECOND READING Romans 9:1–5 Paul wrote that he would willingly accept being separated from the Christ for the sake of his fellow Israelites, from whom came the Messiah. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for his word. GOSPEL Matthew 14:22–33 Jesus walked on the water. He called to Peter in the boat with the other disciples. Peter stepped out on the water until his faith faltered and he began to sink. Then Jesus stretched out his hand to save Peter. COMMUNION ANTIPHON Psalm 147:12, 14 O Jerusalem, glorify the Lord, who gives you your fill of finest wheat. Or cf. John 6:51 The bread that I will give, says the Lord, is my flesh for the life of the world. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 57 cf. Psalm 130:5 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Vigil 8/14/2014 MUSIC SUGGESTIONS Some theologians have referred to the Assumption as Mary’s Easter! The liturgy, however, may be richer for us with some explanation. The Book of Chronicles reads like a ritual book, if you will. It contains lineages, instructions for the enactment of Sabbath observances, rituals, and processions such as the one described in today’s first reading. Read the entire fifteenth chapter of 1 Chronicles, and you will find a “who’s who” in the procession of the ark to Jerusalem. There seems to be an abundance of musicians and instruments (see verses 16–24). This vigil’s Psalm 132 doesn’t appear often in the Sunday Lectionary. It was used to accompany liturgical processions of the Ark of the Covenant. The Gospel tells of a woman shouting from the crowd, “Blessed is the womb....” What is the connection between 1 Chronicles and Luke 11? In the Hebrew Testament, the Ark of the Covenant is the place where God dwells. In the Christian Testament, the living God dwelt in the womb of Mary. The reference to Mary’s womb is reiterated in today’s Communion antiphon. Since the Scripture makes reference to temple musicians today, perhaps it is a good day to pray for one another. Granted, talented artists aren’t typically elected “employee of the month,” but our ministry is not Christ’s mission if we do not love one another. Don’t you find it interesting that the most competent musicians are also the most gracious and delightful ones? They are not covetous, arrogant, or territorial. Let us give thanks for them. Send us more, Lord! — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key. For additional music suggestions, visit liturgy.com and spiritandsong.com/podcasts.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Glorious things are spoken of you, O Mary, who today were exalted above the choirs of Angels into eternal triumph with Christ. GOSPEL ACCLAMATIONLuke 11:28 Blessed are they who hear the word of God and observe it. FIRST READING 1 Chronicles 15:3–4, 15–16; 16:1–2 (621) With celebration and music, David brought the ark into the tent pitched for it. He offered up burnt offerings and blessed the people in the name of the Lord. GOSPEL Luke 11:27–28 From the crowd a woman called to Jesus, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed.” Jesus put her compliment in perspective by answering, “Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” RESPONSORIAL PSALMPsalm 132:6–7, 9–10, 13–14 Lord, go up to the place of your rest, you and the ark of your holiness. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Luke 11:27 Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father. SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 15:54b–57 Death has no hold over the faithful because of the Lord’s victory. Death lost its sting. Sin lost its power through faith in Christ. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 59 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Day 8/15/2014 MUSIC SUGGESTIONS After the reading from Revelation 11, which may sound like something from Star Wars, responsorial Psalm 45 sings about an extraordinary queen. In Preaching the New Lectionary: Year A (Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 2001), Father Richard Fragomeni and Sister of Saint Agnes Dianne Bergant say the psalmist first describes the high place of honor that this queen takes. Then, in verse 11, the queen is told to forget her family. That is what women did in this Middle Eastern culture. “The patriarchal custom…to become part of the household of her husband is clearly reflected” (p. 442). The lesson then skips to verse 16, telling us, as tradition dictated, that the bride and her attendants walked in procession to her new home—the palace of the groom. (As my grandmother would say, “She did all right for herself!”) Much of our Marian piety concerns the young maid and the birth of Jesus. But what about Mary’s later years? One aspect of the solemnity we celebrate today concerns the older Mary who suffered the loss of her spouse, which in those times was a much greater challenge than it is today in the US. And she suffered the loss of a child—probably the worst loss a human can suffer. In the end, Mary lost everything that mattered, really. When all is said and done, pious words aren’t worth much to those who grieve. What matters is whether or not we are there afterwards to show that we love them and that we help them live out the rest of the journey. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 66 for an abbreviation key.

FIRST READING Revelation 11:19a; 12:1–6a, 10ab (622) A great sign appeared in the sky: a woman clothed with the sun and her newborn child. A dragon stood ready to devour the child, but the child was taken to safety in heaven, and God protected the woman.

SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 15:20–27 Christ is risen from the dead, the “firstfruits” of those who have died. All who belong to Christ also will rise. Christ hands over the reign to God. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Mary is taken up to heaven; a chorus of angels exults. GOSPEL Luke 1:39–56 Mary went to Zechariah’s house to visit with Elizabeth. The baby in Elizabeth’s womb “leaped.” Mary gave praise to the Lord for all God’s marvelous deeds of justice and love. COMMUNION ANTIPHON Luke 1:48–49 All generations will call me blessed, for he who is mighty has done great things for me. Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 61 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time 8/17/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS If you would like a very, very interesting read, get hold of Rebuilt: Awakening the Faithful, Reaching the Lost, Making Church Matter by Michael White and Tom Corcoran, with a Foreword by Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan (Notre Dame, IN: Ave Maria Press, 2013). Deacons around the country have been talking about it for a while now. It takes the vision of Vatican II into the third millennium, which is what the New Evangelization is all about. Father White is a Catholic priest and Tom Corcoran is a lay minister. Both serve at a large Catholic parish in Maryland. Their neighborhood isn’t growing and yet their parish is. The book has stimulated conversation in all corners of parish life because it’s about the entire parish culture—not just liturgy, or education, or fundraising. Love it or not, it is a true story which might just replenish your energy to continue the work of ministry and mission. I think it will do the same for anyone who dreams of a church of disciples, not just consumers. And speaking of ministry and mission, the authors make a distinction between the two. Ministry is service for other parishioners within the parish, while mission is service to those “outside” the parish. Although everyone is not a minister, all should be involved in mission. Their focus is not on the parishioner, but the lost. And we all know that there are “lost” in our neighborhoods, on our streets, and even in our families. Jesus is concerned about the lost sheep.

SECOND READING Romans 11:13–15, 29–32 God’s love and mercy are gratuitous; we are all recipients of the benefits of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf.

GOSPEL Matthew 15:21–28 The Canaanite woman displayed an extraordinary confidence that Jesus would hear and answer her. She possessed an undaunted and persistent faith in the Messiah of Israel.

Ordinary Time 1 2014 Today’s LITURGY 63 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time 8/24/2014 year A MUSIC SUGGESTIONS If today’s Gospel sounds familiar, you’re not imagining things. This text from Matthew 16 was proclaimed on the feast of Saints Peter and Paul on June 29. For some thought-provoking commentary, see Good Samaritan Sister Verna Holyhead’s Building on Rock: Welcoming the Word in Year A (Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 2007). Emphasizing that keys are for opening as well as locking, Sister wrote (p. 152): “It will be Peter’s privilege…to be given the ‘keys,’ the authority which will enable him to unlock the riches of the revelation of Jesus Christ that has been entrusted to the church. In contrast, the scribes and Pharisees who oppose Jesus will later be accused by him of locking people out of the kingdom by their teaching and example (Matthew 23:13).” In the first reading from Isaiah, the Lord tells Shebna, master of the palace (the one who has keys), that he will strip him of his power and give the authority to Eliakim, who will rule with fatherly concern over his people. That’s it, folks, for this issue of Today’s Liturgy. Take some time to relax and read the entire issue of Today’s Liturgy. You will find the articles informative and the featured columnists of interest to your entire team. If you are holding a conference, be sure to consider booking Robert Feduccia, who, in my opinion, is the most exciting speaker I’ve heard in quite some time. He would be an excellent keynote speaker for music conferences and any group that wants to catch fire with the New Evangelization.
