Sum mer/ver ano 2012 AIM A Newsletter for Appreciating and Celebrating the Church’s Prayer For Your The Waters of Life CSI: Catholic Scene Investigation During the season of Easter, the Church suggests that we pray the Apostles’ Creed instead of the Nicene Creed, the one we usually pray at Sunday Mass. This is because the Apostles’ Creed is more directly connected to the renewal of our baptismal promises. Can you pray both of these creeds by heart? Find a copy of each, and see what resemblances and differences there are between the two. Quick Quiz We renew our baptismal promises at the Easter Vigil and on Easter Sunday. At what other celebrations are these promises renewed? a) confirmation b) the baptism of an infant c) viaticum (final Communion . before death) d) all of the above Answer: (d) The Church calls us to renew our baptism faith at all of these significant moments in our individual and communal lives of faith. Formation L ent is the springtime of the Church. During that time when our life of faith is renewed at its very source, we seek to make our lives a more fertile place to receive the seeds of God’s love. Easter, then, is the Church in the full flower of its summertime, the season of life, the season of Resurrection. Just as water is important to these two seasons in nature, so it is in the seasons of our Church year as well. The Church teaches that the purpose of Lent is to lead us to Easter, and so we are to observe Lent primarily through reminders of our baptism, the source of our life in Christ (see the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, 109). Easter is also a season of water, the water that washes us clean and sustains our life. At the Easter Vigil new water is blessed, and the elect are baptized in that water and the Holy Spirit. Through the water and the Spirit, they put on Christ; they are “Christ-ened” into lives of faithful, flowering, and fruitful discipleship. When we are sprinkled with holy water at Mass during the Easter season, the Church gives us some scripture passages to sing. These make for good prayer starters any time during the Easter season, as we reflect on the life in Christ we received through the water and Spirit of our own baptism: • Ezekiel 47:1-2, 9: Ezekiel’s vision of water flowing from the Jerusalem temple • Daniel 3:77, 79: All the waters of creation bless God. • 1 Peter 2:9: Baptism makes us a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a chosen people in God’s light.

Formación L a Cuaresma es el tiempo para limpiar y preparar el terreno espiritual. Durante este tiempo, en el cual nuestra vida de fe se renueva en su mismísima fuente, buscamos hacer de nuestra vida un lugar más fértil para recibir las semillas de amor de Dios. El Tiempo de Pascua es el pleno florecer o Resurrección de la Iglesia, un tiempo para nutrir y dejar crecer esas semillas. Al igual que el agua es tan importante en estos procesos de la naturaleza, también lo es en estos tiempos litúrgicos del calendario de nuestra Iglesia. La Iglesia nos enseña que el propósito de la Cuaresma es llevarnos a la Pascua, y por lo tanto debemos observar la Cuaresma principalmente por medio de aquello que nos recuerde nuestro Bautismo, la fuente de nuestra vida en Cristo (ver Constitución sobre la Sagrada Liturgia, 109). La Pascua también es un tiempo de agua, el agua que nos limpia y preserva nuestra vida. En la Vigilia Pascual se bendice agua nueva, y se bautiza a los Elegidos con esa agua y el Espíritu Santo. Por medio del agua y del Espíritu se revisten de Cristo; son bautizados a la vida de discípulos fieles, florecientes y fructíferos. Cuando nos rocían con agua bendita en la Misa durante el tiempo de Pascua, la Iglesia nos entrega algunos pasajes de la Sagrada Escritura para cantar. Estos sirven para comenzar a orar en cualquier momento durante el tiempo de Pascua, a medida que reflexionamos sobre la vida en Cristo que recibimos por el agua y el Espíritu de nuestro propio Bautismo: • Ezequiel 47:1–2.9: Visión de Ezequiel de agua que mana del templo de Jerusalén • Daniel 3:77, 79: Todas las aguas de la creación bendicen a Dios. • 1 Pedro 2:9: El Bautismo nos convierte en un sacerdocio real, una nación santa, un pueblo elegido a la luz de Dios. para fieles A C K N O W L E D G M E N T S Excerpts from the New American Bible with Revised New Testament and Psalms © 1991, 1986, 1970, Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., Washington, DC.

Make your Spirit burst upon us, O Lord, in fiery tongue of witness, in mighty breath of praise, in soaring song of your glory, forever and ever. Amen. Alan J. Hommerding “Come, Holy Spirit” from In Holy Harmony: Prayers for Parish Musicians N ot long ago, I attended a liturgical music conference as a workshop presenter, and was also in attendance for the conference keynote address. The speaker described to us what had happened to him one morning at a Sunday Eucharist at which he was to preside and preach. It was the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, celebrated on a Sunday. Unbeknownst to him, the musician had switched the opening song to “Morning Has Broken” because it was raining (“Sweet the rain’s new fall . . . ”). After our laughter subsided, he lamented this change, since he’d based his homily on the proper entrance antiphon for that day: “We should glory in the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ.” He used this story to illustrate the importance of using the proper entrance antiphon at Sunday liturgy. It seemed to me that this story could also have illustrated the importance of communication between musicians and clergy. Had the musician done a quick check-in that Sunday morning MUSINGS ♦ Alan Hommerding before making the switch, the situation could have been avoided. I’d think that if a priest knew the parish musician had a propensity for making such changes, he’d check to make sure the proper antiphon was still in place. We were not told what opening song was originally scheduled; based on the story, I presumed it was the proper antiphon. This led me to surmise that the musician at this liturgy wasn’t the same musician who scheduled the proper antiphon. In my experience, musicians who utilize the proper antiphons tend not to replace them on the basis of meteorological conditions. One incorrect assumption this story might have led us to, however, is that the proper entrance antiphons always make this kind of direct connection to the day. The last time the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross occurred on a Sunday was in 2008. The following Sunday (Twentyfifth Sunday in Ordinary Time), the entrance antiphon was “I am the Savior of all people, says the Lord. Whatever their troubles, I will answer their cry, and I will always be their Lord” (from Psalm 37). The Lectionary readings for that Sunday, from Year A, were Isaiah 55 (“Seek the Lord while he may be found”), Psalm 145 (“The Lord lo oking inside ♦ Vivian Williams offers practical advice for guiding children and youth through the Eucharistic Prayers in the “From Performer to Pray-er” series, while Chris Padgett continues the focus on youth, giving us some ways to help them enter into the prayer of the Mass.

Sum mer/ver ano 2012 is near”), Philippians 1 (“Christ will be magnified in my body”), and Matthew 20 (parable of the generous vineyard owner). The proper entrance antiphon— the same in The Roman Missal and Graduale Romanum, itself not a terribly common occurrence—wouldn’t have had the direct connectedness that it does on the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. I am not sure if its connection would be better in Years B or C, but this points to another sticking point with using the proper antiphons: they remain fixed, against our Lectionary’s three-year rotation. The story might also have illustrated the need for the solid liturgical/ pastoral formation of musicians. Such a musician would have known that a well-chosen entrance song, such as “Lift High the Cross” or “We Acclaim the Cross of Jesus,” trumped a singing weather report. This also points out that we cannot say that only the proper entrance antiphon text can accomplish its purpose; any number of selections from the familiar hymn repertoire would have connected to the homily that day. I’m not opposing the use of the proper entrance antiphons in the liturgy. I am in full agreement with those who say they are a sadly unknown, under-utilized treasure of our heritage. Our worship truly would be richer if we used them more frequently. But I also think that their use, particularly in their current state, has a few shortcomings to overcome.

Matthew 28: 16–20 O God of endless ages, you sent your Son into the world to bring salvation to your people. He commissioned his disciples to go out into the world and preach the Good News.

Jerry Galipeau from Gathered to Serve: Prayers for Parish Leaders wlp 017350 6 AIM L ast year, Chris Padgett came to visit us at WLP and we forged a relationship that is bearing fruit as we publish his music, recordings, and other writing. If you aren’t familiar with Chris and his mission, find his artist page at wlpmusic. com. Chris proposed that he craft and record a “Divine Mercy” project. While I was aware of St. Faustina, who recorded revelations of the Lord in the 1930s, and of the designation of the Second Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday, I had some research to do in order to collaborate with Chris in shaping this project. It occurred to me that many of you in your parish life may also be hearing about the Divine Mercy, and may be wondering what it is all about and what is expected of you on the Second Sunday of Easter or at a devotion like the chaplet. Here is a short summary of what I learned. We read in St. Faustina’s diary that Jesus requested that the Second Sunday of Easter be celebrated as a feast of mercy. On April 30, 2000, during his homily at her canonization, Pope John Paul II announced that the Second Sunday of Easter would from then on be called Divine Mercy Sunday; the newly translated Missal calls this day Second Sunday of Easter or Sunday of the Divine Mercy. The Web site of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception (http:// thedivinemercy.org) points out the theme of mercy in the scripture readings of that Sunday, and urges priests to preach about mercy. There is no call to alter the Mass on this solemnity; for more about this see the excellent set of frequently asked questions on this site. One idea is to display an image of the Divine Mercy, and provide for veneration of the image after Mass. It is also very clear that the message of Divine Mercy is a mandate to deeds of mercy, not merely a set of meeting place ♦ Mary Beth Kunde-Anderson devotional prayers separate from a life of discipleship. Chris Padgett’s recording will focus on the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. This devotion consists of a few prayers repeated on the beads of the rosary. Instructions and video on the Web site The message of Divine Mercy is a mandate to deeds of mercy, not merely a set of devotional prayers separate from a life of discipleship. are very good tools if this is new to you as it was to me. After some initial prayers, the following is prayed on each small bead: “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on me and on the whole world.” On each larger bead between the decades, “Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.” These prayers are chanted, most often with a leader intoning the first half and all responding. Chris Padgett is crafting his own melodies for these prayers, and interspersing songs throughout, much like the reflective music that might be added to a communal Way of the Cross, scriptural rosary, or Service of Easter Lessons and Carols. These devotions remind us to celebrate God’s goodness and mercy and to pray for the whole world; with Jesus as our example, we pledge ourselves to spiritual and corporal acts of mercy.

I turn around show them the worship aid with the new ones, but no luck. What should I do? —Responding to Responders PASTOR AL notes ♦ “Pastor Al” I Dear R2R: know where you’re coming from. It seems we did a mountain of preparation for the new translation—workshops, lectures, homilies, discussions, pew cards, bulletin inserts, reminders, rehearsals, and worship aids. Nevertheless, come last Advent, some people were taken by surprise! Several months in, we can still hear “And also with you,” or “one in being with the Father”—you name it. It’s tough, isn’t it? We come to church to pray and be filled with Christian charity . . . only to find that charity sorely tested before we get out the door! One possibility to consider is that perhaps these people are just returning to us after an extended absence. In that case, we need to be welcoming and helpful, because this is definitely a cause for rejoicing! All in all, there’s hope in our history. If you look to the past, you’ll realize that every time there has been a significant change in the way we worship, there has been a time of transition. Some people accept the change and grasp it immediately. For others, it takes a while—sometimes a long while. When the new Order of Mass was introduced back in the 1970s, people struggled with different responses for the dialogues and changes in the familiar ritual. But gradually things settled down. People got used to “the new Mass.” Sum mer/ver ano 2012 Permission is granted to make copies of this article in its entirety. Copyright ©2012, World Library Publications, the music and liturgy division of J.S. Paluch Co., Inc. All rights reserved. What had been strange and new became second nature. The same thing happened when lay people began assisting the priest and deacon in distributing the Body and Blood of Christ. Some welcomed the change; others really struggled with the reality that people like them— “ordinary” people—could administer the consecrated species as the priest did. But years passed, and things changed. Suddenly, it seemed natural for lay people to minister at Communion time, to take Communion to people in hospitals, or to lead Communion services on occasion. With both of these major changes, it took people time—in some cases, a long time—to get adjusted. But once they did, people not only accepted the change, but found the beauty in it. And now, most of us wouldn’t have it any other way! Hopefully, that will be the same If you look to the past, you’ll realize that every time there has been a significant change in the way we worship, there has been a time of transition. with the historic change to the Missal that we’re living through now. Eventually the changes will cease to be distracting and become second nature to us. And we’ll begin to find the beauty in the new prayers. That being said, what do you do about the people who are still stuck in the past? You can gently (gently!) hand them a worship aid. Even if you’ve already memorized the new texts yourself, holding the worship aid might be a way of letting the people around you know that there’s a guidebook to help them. But be gentle. Unity of posture and response is so important in our worship; it’s a sign of our unity as a believing community, a sign of our oneness in Christ. We can’t build unity without charity. I am reminded of the favorite saying of Blessed Pope John XXIII: “Listen to everything, forget much, correct little.” It’s wise advice for pastors and parishioners, don’t you think? God bless you and love you. A IM 9 From Performer to Pray-er: Working with Children and Youth by Vivian E. Williams T he Catholic school in which I taught had a talent show at the end of the year. It was quite a big deal. The culmination was a number performed by the whole eighth grade class, and each year my teaching partner and I searched for something big enough to include every student. I often approached preparation for Mass in that way: every student must have a role. This approach led us to look desperately for things to carry in procession and sometimes narrate the procession. We divided the eight intercessions among eight people and the readings between two or three voices. The passing of the microphone became its own liturgical action! What I didn’t realize is that we all already have an essential role at Eucharist—the primary minister of any liturgy is the assembly. The Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms this (see #114). We help our students best by helping them understand that our most important participation is in the praying, responding, and acclaiming. Mass without the assembly is like playing football in an empty stadium. You can do it, but the experience is incomplete. Our church teaches that important parts of liturgy literally belong to all of us. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal says our responses and acclamations are truly significant (#34). The Eucharistic Prayer is our prayer, voiced by the priest, in which we join ourselves to Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection (#78). The “Amen” we sing at the end affirms the entire prayer. But what does all this mean? continued on page 12 continued on page 12 10 AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 De actuante a orante: trabajo con niños y jóvenes por Vivian E. Williams E n la escuela católica donde enseñaba tenía un concurso de talentos al final del año escolar. Era bastante importante. El punto culminante era la presentación que hacían todos los estudiantes del octavo grado, y cada año mi colega maestro y yo buscábamos algo lo suficientemente grande como para incluir a todos los estudiantes. A menudo abordaba la preparación para la Misa de la misma manera: cada estudiante debe tener un rol. Este enfoque nos llevó a buscar desesperadamente cosas que llevar en la procesión y a veces a narrar la procesión. Dividimos las ocho intercesiones entre ocho personas y las lecturas entre dos o tres proclamadores. ¡Pasar el micrófono se convirtió en su propia acción litúrgica! De lo que no me di cuenta es que todos desempeñamos un papel esencial en la Eucaristía ya que el primer ministro de cualquier liturgia es la asamblea. Esto lo afirma el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica (ver #1141) La mejor manera de asistir a nuestros estudiantes es ayudarlos a comprender que la más importante participación es rezar, responder y aclamar. Una Misa sin asamblea es como jugar fútbol en un estadio vacío. Se puede jugar, pero la experiencia es incompleta. Nuestra Iglesia enseña que partes importantes de la liturgia literalmente nos pertenecen a todos. La Ordenación General del Misal Romano dice que nuestras respuestas y aclamaciones son verdaderamente significativas (#34). La Plegaria Eucarística es nuestra plegaria, pronunciada por el sacerdote, a la cual nos unimos en la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo (#78). El “Amén” que cantamos al final afirma la oración por entero. ¿Pero qué significa todo esto? continúa en la página 13 continúa en la página 13 Sum mer/ver ano 2012 AIM 11 continued from page 10 Experience and mystagogy Offer older children and teens some mystagogy on the implications of the Eucharistic Prayer. Mystagogy is a way of reflecting on an experience to discover meaning. Begin by asking the students about their experience of the Eucharistic Prayer. What have they heard and seen during the prayer? What does it do? To whom does it belong? Most likely they will not know it is offered on behalf of everyone present (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, #33). Give them a copy of the Holy, Holy, Memorial Acclamation, and Great Amen, and ask what these acclamations do. Why do we usually sing them? What are we saying? There are no wrong answers in mystagogy because the answers come from the individual’s experience. The leader’s response should be “Thank you.” If a question or statement comes up that needs addressing, do it after the mystagogy. If necessary say, “That’s a good question; let’s discuss it after mystagogy.” Invite them to enter into a Eucharist-type experience. Explain that it is a time during which they’ll be asked to think and talk about the Eucharistic Prayer more specifically. Sit around a table that has a cloth of liturgical color, a lit candle, a plate with a round loaf of bread and a glass with wine or grape juice on it. If you have a Roman Missal, include it. Choose a Eucharistic Prayer and divide it into sections according to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, #79. Formulate some questions and/or catechesis that will help the students think about and discuss the images and implications of the section. Not all questions need to be answered out loud. Some may call for silent reflection. Have someone take the priest’s role, reading the prayer while the rest make the responses and acclamations. Sing the acclamations. If you can’t 12 AIM ♦ lead, invite a cantor or choir member to assist. We’ll use Eucharistic Prayer II as an example. We begin all of our Eucharistic Prayers in a dialogue that ends with the priest saying, “Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.” We reply, “It is right and just.” Ask, “Why is it right and just for us to give God thanks and praise?” Let people think for a minute and then solicit answers. The next place to pause might be after the epiclesis. We ask the Holy Spirit to “come like dewfall” and make our gifts holy. Ask, “Have you ever seen dew in the morning? What is it? How does it look and feel? How can the Holy Spirit be like dewfall? Why is ordinary bread and wine considered a gift? Who’s responsible for growing/ making/giving these gifts?” After the institution narrative we might say, “Jesus says, ‘Do this in memory of me.’ Do what? Is Jesus only talking about taking the bread and wine?” Stop again after the offertory where “we offer you, Lord, the Bread . . . and Chalice . . . ” The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy says we not only offer Christ, but our entire selves (#48). How did Christ offer himself in self-sacrifice? Who in my family or neighborhood is an example of self-sacrifice? How can I offer myself at home and at school? This last question may be answered in silence. In our intercessions, we ask God to make us one through our communion and make the whole Church charitable. What would a truly charitable Church look like? Who’s responsible for making the Church charitable? Finally, we need to contemplate the end of the Eucharistic Prayer when we sing our “Amen.” Are we only saying “yes” to the doxology, the praise of God? Is there anything else? What difference should this “yes” make in my/our everyday life with family, friends—even those I don’t like? Imagery and understanding Illuminate the mystagogy with a PowerPoint slide show. As we pray about how we rightly and justly praise and thank God, show images of the universe, the earth, and families. Images of the Holy Spirit, bread, and wine might illustrate the epiclesis. At the end of the Eucharistic Prayer in the doxology we might use images of Christ surrounded by children, as shepherd, crucified, and enthroned. In the final conversation, in small groups, ask if they have a new understanding. Was there something they particularly liked or didn’t? Why? Ask someone to keep notes and report back to the whole group. This kind of mystagogy can be adapted for length, for age, and for any part of the Mass. For young children you would do only one or two sections at a time. If we ever want to realize the vision of Vatican II of a Church that is participating fully, consciously, and actively, we have to help the assembly see the Mass as their responsibility. Mystagogy can help deepen that understanding and foster that participation. Vivian E.

Sum mer/ver ano 2012 viene de la página 11 Experiencia y mistagogia Ofrecemos a los niños mayores y a los adolescentes alguna mistagogia sobre las implicaciones de la Plegaria Eucarística. La mistagogia es una manera de reflexionar sobre una experiencia para descubrir su significado. Comenzamos preguntando a los estudiantes sobre su experiencia de la Plegaria Eucarística. ¿Qué escucharon y vieron durante la plegaria? ¿Qué hace? ¿A quién le pertenece? Lo más probable es que no sepan que se ofrece por todos los presentes (Constitución sobre la Sagrada Liturgia, #33). Deles una copia del Santo Santo, de la Aclamación Memorial y del Gran Amén y luego pregúnteles qué hacen estas aclamaciones. ¿Por qué solemos cantarlas? ¿Qué es lo que dicen? En la mistagogia no hay respuestas equivocadas porque estas provienen de la experiencia de cada individuo. La respuesta del facilitador debe ser “gracias”. Si surge una pregunta o afirmación que necesita una aclaración, hágalo después de la mistagogia. De ser necesario diga: “Esa es una buena pregunta. Hablemos sobre ella después de la mistagogia”. Invítelos a entrar en una experiencia de tipo eucarístico. Explique que es el tiempo durante el cual se les pedirá que piensen y hablen sobre la Plegaria Eucarística de manera más específica. Siéntense en torno a una mesa cubierta con un mantel de color litúrgico, con una vela encendida, un plato con una hogaza redonda de pan y una copa con vino o jugo de uva. Si tiene el Misal Romano, inclúyalo. Elija una Plegaria Eucarística y divídala en varias secciones según la Ordenación General del Misal Romano (#79). Formule algunas preguntas y/o catequesis que ayude a los estudiantes a pensar y a dialogar sobre las imágenes e implicaciones de la sección. No todas las preguntas necesitan responderse en voz alta. Algunas pueden requerir de un tiempo de reflexión en silencio. Haga que alguien desempeñe el Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ papel del sacerdote y lea la plegaria mientras los demás entonan las respuestas y aclamaciones. Canten las aclamaciones. Si usted no puede dirigir, invite al cantor o a un miembro del coro para que le ayude. Emplearemos la Plegaria Eucarística II como ejemplo. Iniciamos todas nuestras Plegarias Eucarísticas en un diálogo que termina con el sacerdote que dice: “Demos gracias al Señor, nuestro Dios”. Respondemos: “Es justo y necesario”. Pregunte: “¿Por qué es justo y necesario que nosotros le demos gracias y alabanza a Dios?” Deje que piensen por un minuto y luego solicite respuestas. La siguiente pausa sería después de la epíclesis. Pedimos que la “efusión del Espíritu” santifique los dones. Pregunte: “¿Han visto la efusión del rocío en la mañana? ¿Qué es? ¿Qué apariencia tiene y cómo se siente? ¿Cómo puede el Espíritu Santo ser como el rocío? ¿Por qué consideramos que el pan y el vino son dones? ¿Quién es responsable por cultivar/hacer/dar estos dones?”. Después del relato de la institución podríamos decir: “Jesús dice: ‘Hagan esto en conmemoración mía’. ¿Hacer qué? ¿Se refiere Jesús solo a tomar el pan y el vino?” Deténgase nuevamente después del ofertorio donde “te ofrecemos, Señor el Pan … y el Cáliz….” La Constitución sobre la Sagrada Liturgia dice que no solo ofrecemos a Cristo, sino a nosotros mismos (#48). ¿Cómo se ofreció Cristo en sacrificio? ¿Quién en mi familia o vecindario es un ejemplo de auto-sacrificio? ¿Cómo puedo ofrecerme a mí mismo en la escuela y en el hogar? Esta última pregunta puede responderse en silencio. En nuestras intercesiones pedimos que Dios nos haga uno mediante nuestra comunión y haga de toda la Iglesia un signo de amor. ¿Cómo sería una Iglesia que es verdadero signo de caridad? ¿Quién es responsable de hacer que la Iglesia sea un signo de caridad? Finalmente, necesitamos contemplar el final de la Plegaria Eucarística cuando cantamos nuestro “Amén”. ¿Decimos “sí” solamente a la doxología, la alabanza a Dios? ¿Hay algo más? ¿Qué impacto tiene ese “sí” en mi/nuestra vida con la familia, las amistades y hasta con aquellos que no me caen bien? Imágenes y entendimiento Ilumine la mistagogia con una presentación de diapositivas en PowerPoint. Al rezar que es justo y necesario alabar y dar gracias a Dios, muestre imágenes del universo, de la Tierra y de las familias. Imágenes del Espíritu Santo, del pan, y del vino pueden ilustrar la epíclesis. Al final de la Plegaria Eucarística en la doxología podemos usar imágenes de Cristo rodeado de niños, como pastor, crucificado y en su trono. Al final de la conversación, en grupos pequeños pregunte si han entendido algo nuevo. ¿Hay algo en particular que les gustó o no les gustó? ¿Por qué? Pida que alguien tome notas y dé su informe al grupo grande. Este tipo de mistagogia se puede adaptar en duración, según la edad, y para cualquier parte de la Misa. Para niños pequeños yo tomaría solo una o dos secciones a la vez. Si alguna vez queremos hacer concreta la visión del Vaticano II de una Iglesia que participa en forma plena, consciente y activa, debemos ayudar a la asamblea a entender que la Misa es su responsabilidad. La mistagogia puede ayudar a profundizar esta noción y fomentar esa participación. Vivian E.

Amen The new translation of the Mass for a new generation by Chris Padgett H ey, let’s all go to Mass! I hear there’s a new translation!” I bet you’ve heard that from your kids lots of times already. Of course I’m kidding. We can, however, ask why there is always such an eagerness for sporting events, school performances, gadgets and new games, phones, computers, music . . . but apathy is in abundance when it comes to spiritual matters. I think we can address this topic best by looking at what young people are interested in. I’m sure you’ll not be terribly surprised since it’s what we all are looking for: social interaction, or authentic connection. The great thing about this common desire to interact with another is that we have the perfect springboard for us to launch into dialogue with young and old alike: the relational connections made at Mass. Reaching out Kids want to be connected! The old telephone commercial that said, “Reach out and touch someone!” still has a truthful ring about it. We were not meant to go through this journey alone—connecting with those around us helps us process difficulties, realize possibilities, and dream impossibilities. How does this relate to all that is going on with the new translation for the Mass, and the difficulty of getting our young people interested in the liturgy? Let’s do a little remedial catechesis for starters. 14 AIM A deeper understanding of connectedness First, Mass is the most intimate connection we can have with our God, this side of eternity. To receive Jesus in the Eucharist is to reach the source and summit of our faith. It is this relationship that we all long for the most. Second, any young person who has ever been in love knows that a relationship isn’t always about receiving. In fact, most kids will save their money and reserve their time so that they can spend both things with (or on) their significant other. They will go out of their way to pick out a special gift, and this generosity continues (sometimes even beyond marriage!). In all actuality, there is recognition from the start that a relationship is about giving and receiving. Giving and receiving The liturgy is a constant giving and receiving between Christ the Groom and his Bride the Church. We bring insignificant gifts and offer them to God, and those common, mundane offerings are transformed into Christ’s Body and Blood. Nothing is held back! Not concerned about the value of our gift, God lavishes boundless generosity upon us. With the prodigious gifts our Lord pours out upon his bride, we are more than prepared to go and invite others into this unmatched relationship. The Church has known since the very start that the sick, broken, wounded, tired, and sinful stumble through the doors, needing a friend who will stick with them in thick and thin. The Church reaches out as the Good Samaritan. Christ’s love is always present, and always ready to heal, correct, care for, offer rest and forgiveness, because that kind of love is the conduit for any authentic relationship. Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ The new translation It is unlikely that what has kept people away from Mass is that the translation was less than ideal, but that is a different topic for another time. I simply want to look at some basic things to describe how much our Lord in his Body and Blood longs to reach out to those in need. These truths the Church understands and is really part of why we should point to those places of beauty and more clarity in the translation of the liturgy. Questions Questions: We all have deep questions. What is life all about? Why am I here? These are very basic questions that every person is going to have. In order for us to grow in a relationship with someone we are interested in, we ask about their life journey, their likes and dislikes. We wonder how we might please them. The deep and lasting questions of humanity are answered decisively by the Word-made-flesh. Jesus is the answer to our longings, and his continued gift in Eucharist is what gives us the strength to finally be effective. He alone satisfies our needs. Call Throughout all time God has been calling to creation, with signs, wonders, words, and deeds. The Lord has unfolded his interest in creation through the covenants, patriarchs, judges, and prophets. This economy of salvation is a constant witness that God is interested in the intimate relationship established with creation. Confrontation At some point we need to actually choose Christ. Who do we say he is? If we acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, then our lives will be different. We either believe he has—and continues— to give himself to us in the Eucharist or we don’t. We must choose to believe in him, and that he has chosen to be a complete gift for us. Sum mer/ver ano 2012 When we partake in the Body and Blood of Christ, we are laying the groundwork for a holy, loving relationship. Celebration We are meant to receive Jesus so intimately that St. Paul likens this unity to that of the complete self-gift found in marriage. It is a place of total gift, and as such it is also lifegiving. The place for us to encourage and foster this deep and abiding relationship is in the Mass. When we partake in the Body and Blood of Christ, we are laying the groundwork for a holy, loving relationship. to receive Christ’s grace. There are wonderful seasons within the liturgy that we all fall in step with, as well as holy days of obligation that remind us of our need for Christ. A relationship fails when we stop communicating, stop receiving, and stop giving. The Church will always do whatever it takes to remind people that they are welcome to enter into a relationship with Christ. So, will you hear your kids say, “Let’s go to Mass!” any time soon? Probably not. But I do believe that our continued attempts at introducing young people to the relationship found in Christ, both as parents, as fellow disciples—as Church—can and will change the heart of a new generation. Chris Padgett graduated with an M.A in theology from Franciscan University, and has begun doctoral work at the International Marian Research Institute in Dayton, Ohio. Chris travels frequently, presenting talks and concerts. You can find out more about his ministry and family at www.chrispadgett.com. Conclusion The new translation of the Mass is all about helping young people know their Savior better—the one who wants to be in a life-giving relationship with them. Jesus truly does long to give his complete being, his whole self, to any who come. This complete gift of self is why we take Mass so seriously. There isn’t anything superficial about this relationship. Christ is also so entirely given to us that he waits in the tabernacles around the world so that we can at any time come kneel before him in a moment of need or of joy. But even more than being just one we can look upon and talk to, Jesus allows us to take him into our very bodies. We can be filled and satisfied because his love is what we need. The Church constantly provides opportunities for all—young and old— A IM 15 ♦ In this series, we give you a bit more in-depth look at the artists who are part of what makes WLP worship resources and music for prayer so wonderful. We go “Beyond the Bio” that you might find on our Web site or in a CD booklet to explore the stories and ministry of these artists. In this issue, we talk with the two authors of Living the Word, Father James Wallace, CSsR, and Sister Dianne Bergant, csa. These interviews took place in November of 2011. FATHER JAMES WALLACE, cssr AIM: When did you first experience your vocational calling? JW: It was when I was a little boy. I was taught by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, and the parish was staffed by Redemptorist priests. We were always invited to consider pursuing a vocation to the priesthood or to the religious life. And so the seed was planted. AIM: And off to seminary you went. JW: Yes. At first I was very homesick—I was only 13—and wasn’t sure about the whole thing. But my mom encouraged me to stay with it. AIM: What was the turning point? JW: There were several of them. It’s not like my future was completely clear to me at that age, but eventually it did become clear. And though my family was supportive, there wasn’t pressure from them to keep going just for their sake. AIM: Were you ordained for the Redemptorist order? JW: I went through Redemptorist training from high school on. I was 25 when I was ordained; that was in 1970. AIM: Did your founder, St. Alphonsus, have an influence on you? JW: Definitely, in many ways. One way was his description of Redemptorist preachers as 1. men of study and learning 2. leading lives of good example, 3. practiced in prayer and meditation, 4. able to speak to the heart, 5. having the right intention—always God’s glory, 6. understood by all present, and 7. effective communicators. AIM: Quite a list! JW: He was very emphatic that they be understood by average people. He’d call guys out of the pulpit if they weren’t being understood, if their language was too hifalutin. AIM: How did you come to specialize in homiletics? JW: After ordination I went to study for a graduate degree in communications. I also had some private study with a veteran acting teacher skilled in voice training. We were always invited to consider pursuing a vocation to the priesthood or to the religious life. AIM: Where did you teach homiletics? continued on page 18 16 AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ Preaching and Teaching the Word Sister Dianne bergant, BEYOND THE BIO csa AIM: Would you share with us your “call story” to religious life? DB: When I trace it back, it really revolves around one experience when I was in kindergarten. I’m putting adult words on it, but I recall being at Mass, a very high liturgical experience, and thinking, “I like this; I want more of this. I want to be a part of this.” This occurred at a neighboring parish, where I attended school; my home parish didn’t have a school attached to it. AIM: Were you taught by the Sisters of St. Agnes? DB: Yes; for people who grew up in my era, it was quite common to join the religious order that taught you. AIM: How were called to the area of scripture study? DB: It was, literally, a call. Again, for people of my era who entered religious life, you were directed by your superior. My superior called, and told me that I was going to study scripture. My interest was more general theology, but they needed a scripture person. After my studies, I was supposed to go back and teach scripture at Marian College in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. AIM: Where did you study scripture? DB: St. Louis University Divinity School. At the time, the school had cross-registration with Eden Theological Seminary (for the United Church of Christ) and Concordia Seminary (of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod). So I was taught by professors of other denominations. That ecumenical dimension was quite novel at that time. AIM: When was that? DB: In the early 1970s, so it was not all that long after the close of the Council. AIM: After teaching at Marian College, what was next? DB: I was hired to teach at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. I’ve been at CTU for thirty-four years. AIM: That soon after the Council, were your scripture studies greatly influenced by the Lectionary? DB: It wasn’t until I came to CTU. There I taught with Richard Fragomeni in the area of Hermeneutics for Bible and Preaching. AIM: Didn’t that produce a series of books? continued on page 19 Sum mer/ver ano 2012 AIM 17 FATHER JAMES WALLACE, continued from page 16 cssr JW: Mount St. Alphonsus in Esopus, New York, our theologate, from 1973 to 1985. I asked for a sabbatical in 1982—and was sent to do doctoral studies! Not sure if that’s a sabbatical, but that’s what happened. AIM: Where did you go for your doctorate? JW: Northwestern University had an excellent interdepartmental program in the School of Speech, allowing me to combine rhetoric, oral interpretation, and further integrate my other interests in preaching. AIM: When did you start Washington Theological Union? at JW: In 1986. So I’ve been teaching here more than twenty-five years. AIM: How did you come to homiletics from the communications, not the scriptural, side? JW: When it came time to do my doctorate, I called Fr. William Skudlarek, osb, the final author of the bishops' document on preaching, Fulfilled in Your Hearing. He advised me to go for a communications degree. AIM: How else was the work of homiletics changing? JW: Vatican II brought the term “homily” back into our vocabulary. Up until then it was the sermon. AIM: What’s the difference? JW: Preaching at Mass would cover the catechism, or catechetical topics over the course of Sundays. It wasn’t necessarily connected to the scriptures. The Council emphasized that all preaching should be nourished by sacred scripture, that the homily 18 AIM ♦ should be based on biblical and liturgical texts. There is room for catechetical instruction on occasion, but the main purpose is to lead people into the mystery being celebrated, and to meet the needs of the listeners in living out the gospel. JW: To open up for God’s people—and beyond our Church—the riches of our tradition. The power of God’s word for bringing people into a deeper relationship with the mystery of the Trinity and with others. There’s such potential there for life. AIM: So what do you see as the function of the preacher? AIM: What do preachers need to take into account when preaching today? JW: The preacher is called to interpret human existence through those scriptural and liturgical texts, helping the congregation to recognize God’s active presence in their lives and the world; then to encourage a response to God’s presence at the liturgy itself, by living a life in witness to the gospel. JW: Some of the effects of postmodernity and technology. The post-modern world rejects absolutes, encourages relativity and a fluid sense of self. This has an impact on relationships and social structures. AIM: How do you switch from your role as classroom teacher to homilist at liturgy? JW: Incredible amounts of information are within our reach, but we can’t process it all. How does the homily’s transformative message get in there? Some say we are losing the ability to focus for any length of time, and it costs us even in the world of business; people take longer to complete tasks because of the constant interruptions of all the gadgets. JW: They’re mutually informative. It all ends up being a big circle . . . what I do in the classroom informs my preaching, but then in the classroom I find myself speaking about my experience in the liturgical homily from the preceding Sunday. AIM: If I gave a homily in your class, how would I be evaluated? JW: A group of six to eight people would give you feedback. What was the message? What effect did the message have? If you get eight different answers, then there might be a problem with coherence or focus. When you finished, where did the hearer want to go—to Eucharist? To confession? Running out the door? What image of God, of Christ was presented? What image of the community was presented? AIM: What about technology? AIM: What keeps you going, then? JW: I continue to love teaching, preaching, and writing, especially for publications like Living the Word, which helps people enter more deeply into the gospel. This in turn facilitates a better understanding of God’s word, as well as an encounter with it—perhaps even helping them to believe, hope, and love more fully, more humanly. AIM: What hope or dream you might have for Catholic preaching? Sum mer/ver ano 2012 Sister Dianne bergant, csa ♦ continued from page 17 DB: Liturgical Press had asked me to re-do Reginald Fuller’s Preaching the Lectionary. Richard Fragomeni had taught me a literary-liturgical approach to the Lectionary. That’s what I used for those books. AIM: How is that approach different? DB: Biblical interpretation interprets a particular passage within its biblical context, but the other approach looks at it in the context of the other Lectionary passages, and the larger liturgical context. AIM: Could you give an example? DB: The one that comes to mind is for the first Sunday of Advent in Year B, the parable of the man who goes away and leaves his household in the care of his servants. It’s an eschatological story, but in the reading itself, there’s nothing apocalyptic. AIM: Could you clarify eschatological and apocalyptic? DB: Something that is eschatological pertains to the future, which could be the end-time. Apocalyptic is a specific literary category, which includes signs and cataclysmic world-ending events. So the parable from Mark 13 in Advent has a future-looking, but not cataclysmic aspect when placed with the other readings and psalm of that day and the tone of the Advent season. But in the whole chapter of the Gospel, it has that cataclysmic aspect, since that is the character of that chapter. AIM: Do you prefer the literaryliturgical approach? DB: It’s just a different approach, and not all Bible people agree with it. Even when the Lectionary omits verses, some scripture people will interpret Sum mer/ver ano 2012 the whole passage. But then it’s not a lection, a liturgical reading. You only interpret the reading, and you also have to place it in the context of the liturgical season. AIM: Having been through the Lectionary cycles a number of times, how do the scriptures stay alive and active for you? DB: Three things: There are always changes in the current situation, in the world around us; a little more personal insight into life; and through my own ongoing study, perhaps I will have a bit more knowledge into the meaning of the text. AIM: When or if the Lectionary were to be revised—content, not only translation—what recommendations would you make? DB: I would recommend that the Old Testament selections illustrate Israel’s diversity a bit more, things like their openness to women in leadership roles, and openness to God’s revelation to other nations and religions as well. Something like Isaiah 19:18–24, which shows a cooperation among Egypt, Israel, and Assyria. The New Testament has an openness to the Gentiles, but it’s there in the Old Testament, too. AIM: How do you approach scriptures as scholar/professor and as someone who celebrates the liturgy? DB: As a scholar, from a critical point of view. The point isn’t merely to discover the history, it also has to inform my own faith and my own spirituality. Once the analysis is done, you sit back and reflect on the message. AIM: Which is more difficult? To sit back and reflect is to sit back and search one’s own insights. So the second one is much more selfrevelatory. AIM: Do you find lectio divina or other practices useful? DB: I find that for me, my study of the scripture achieves the same goals as a practice like lectio divina. AIM: You’ve taught now for a whole generation. What do you see for the future of the Church? DB: At CTU we prepare the future ministers, or people already in ministry who will return there. I never cease to be amazed at the commitment of the women and men who are willing to give themselves to this ministry. So often people are concerned about the future of the Church and I want to say that these people who come through our doors give me great hope. They stay committed to a church suffering disgrace and prejudice; they are willing to minister at times when their ministry is not valued by many members within the Church. And they do it without a lot of compensation; it’s commitment and unselfishness that give me great hope. I never cease to be amazed at the commitment of the women and men who are willing to give themselves to this ministry. DB: The analysis demands research.

Hommerding Lord, you said you came to bring us joy,. and then you. wept and shouted,. groaned and died. Your dance in the morning. became a dirge at day’s end. What song can I sing to celebrate? You created the music of the spheres—. teach me a song! I will sing a song of hope—. your fear for my assurance. I will sing a song of banquet—. your body for my soul. I will sing a song of resurrection—. your death for my life. With the steady cadence of your sacrifice,. you turn my mourning into melody, You, who are the music. “A Psalm For Holy Week” T hese psalms, which began as spiritual journal entries and occasional Christmas letter enclosures, cover the same range of human emotion and experience—fear, joy, grief, awe, anger, trust—as the biblical psalter. Marion van der Loo, whose vocation for forty-plus years has been that of musician, takes these experiences and expresses them in language that is at once human, poetic, and musical. Coming from a faith-filled heart, they speak in a manner familiar yet new. The first two sections of the book cover the main seasons of the Church’s year of grace, from Advent through Pentecost. The remaining 20 AIM sections—“The Glory of God,” “Times and Seasons,” “A Heart Overflowing”— include other parts of life that need to be voiced in prayer. Pray these psalms aloud, savor them, and you will discover what the author writes in her introduction: “God is good, life is good, and the music, in whatever way it manifests itself, never stops, no matter what’s happening in a given moment.” An Introduction to the Organ for Pianists: Feet, Don’t Fail Me Now! by Keith s. kalemba A lan Hommerding has taken his tried-and-true workshop for beginning organists, “Feet, Don’t Fail Me Now,” and given us this introductory booklet for pianists called to play the organ at liturgy. An Introduction to the Organ for Pianists: Feet, Don’t Fail Me Now! is the first book in the series. Alan gives a practical overview of the organ console and organ terminology, including suggestions on how to select registration for various times in the liturgy. For many pianists, approaching the pedals can be a frightening task. This booklet provides practical musical examples for incorporating pedal and manual keyboard technique. In addition to this new method booklet, Alan has also edited two new volumes of organ music for manuals only or manuals with easy pedal. Feet, Don’t Fail Me Now! Volume One: Advent and Christmas and Volume Two: Lent and Easter are wonderful preludes/postludes by such composers as Cesar Franck, Richard Proulx, and Eugene Englert. Speaking from personal experience as a pianist who is a beginning organist, these pieces are gems. Each composition includes registration and optional pedal suggestions. Sum mer/ver ano 2012 Falling Forward by ♦ ron rendek W orld Library Publications is proud to welcome Chris Padgett to the WLP family with the release of his new EP, Falling Forward (wlp 008470). Chris is known throughout the United States and abroad as an author, speaker, mission and worship leader, songwriter, and performer. He uses music to convey his message of God’s endless love and mercy. His boundless energy seems unstoppable; his passion and devotion are inspiring to all who share and witness his ministry. Chris was the lead singer of the popular Christian band Scarecrow and Tinmen. He wrote, recorded, and toured with this four-man group for seven productive years and four stellar albums before embarking on his own solo career. As such, he has been the recipient of several Unity Awards in categories of Best Catholic Rock Song and Album of the Year. Chris is married to his high school sweetheart, Linda, and they have eight (or is it nine by now?) children. Together they published a book about courtship and marriage, Not Ready for Marriage, Not Ready for Sex: One Couple’s Return to Chastity, that focuses on the cultural and social pressures we face in daily life. Chris has also published several other books, including Spirituality You Can Live With and Wholly Mary: Mother of God (Servant Books). He holds a master’s degree in theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, and is pursuing a doctorate in Marian studies at the International Marian Research Institute in Dayton, Ohio. Falling Forward features the engineering, mixing, and coproducing skills of Mike Ofca at picturesque Innovation Studios in downtown Steubenville. Check out the web site, http://innovationstudios. net, and you’ll see what I mean. Sum mer/ver ano 2012 The first track, “Beautiful Savior,” is high energy complete with driving guitars and riffs. The pre-chorus leads to the refrain that instantly grabs you and has you singing along the first time. “You Can Hold My Hand,” a popstyle song, is just pure fun! Chris’s vocals implore Jesus to hold our hand as we pursue his teachings. The ballad-like title track, “Falling Forward,” speaks of the change Christ can make in us now, regardless of our mistakes or sins: “I’m falling forward; just take me as I am.” The pulsating verses give way to the lyrical refrain with a clever descending melody. In “Once in a While” Chris sings of the airs we often put on to get what we desire, which is not always what we need: God’s truth and love—an impressive marriage of message and music. “The Eighth Day” is an interesting mix of pop and bluegrass. The words reflect on the thanks and praise given after the seventh day of Creation: “Creation’s done and rest is gained, the seventh day renews; the eighth day’s here to love and cheer. What will you do on this eighth day?” The other songs, “Are You Ready?” and “I See You Breathe,” offer the same variety of sound and words. You won’t be disappointed with Chris’s musical messages and the edgy production found throughout this EP. Thanks to Chris and his family for their ministry and the influence they have on many throughout the world. Visit their web site at www. chrispadgett.com.

The psalm is actually a sort of dialogue; the first part uses “I” and the remaining verses use “you.” Called “a song of ascents,” these words were used by pilgrims on the way to Jerusalem. If you are familiar with the geography of the region, you can well understand why travelers would be concerned about mountains, secure footing while ascending, shade from desert heat, and protection throughout a journey. In conclusion, we are assured that God will watch over us forever. This message has been spun into a song by Fr. James Marchionda titled “I Lift Up My Eyes.” The melody seems almost spontaneous, but is actually carefully crafted with interesting rise and fall, with a natural peak at the third phrase. Yet it is very easy to sing; except for two leaps in the second phrase, the motion is entirely step-wise. For many years, through the ministry of parish mission preaching, the composer has observed, learned, preached, and practiced that sacred music can bridge generation gaps between children and adults at worship. The simplicity of the melody would allow the assembly to join after hearing it once. “I Lift Up My Eyes” is in the new We Celebrate Hymnal at #839. Paul Tate has created a keyboard accompaniment for the verses that gently leads and provides harmonic support with an eighth-note motion. This texture resembles the style brisé, familiar to baroque keyboardists; the notes that double the melody should be played slightly louder or held slightly longer than the other eighth notes. This technique serves especially well if accompanying this song on the organ (or harpsichord!). Four-part œ SA by œ œ œ œ œ œ from the for your from the and for ˙ who made heav - en will pro - tect you from the moon in will watch o - ver Ps 121 choral harmony is given, with tenor and bass parts answering the soprano and alto; this is best reserved to one or two verses, with all singing the melody otherwise. An octavo publication is also available, wlp 008864, or Click & Print download e08864. This has an entirely different keyboard part and optional cello part by Marek Rachelski, but it is fully compatible with the hymnal version. It would be useful once the assembly is familiar with the song, or help? sleep. side. soul. œ.

Marchionda Text and music © 2007, WLP if you wish to use it as a choir anthem since it has more varied choral parts. This song of pilgrimage may be used with themes of trust, consolation, faith, and comfort; the gentle and confident mood of the song makes it welcome for Evening or Night Prayer. When remembering the journey of those early pilgrims, consider what “Jerusalems” may be calling us in our time. The assurances of Psalm 121 found in “I Lift Up My Eyes” can comfort us today.

Pace yourself as you get ready for all the baptisms, First Communions, teen confirmations, liturgical additions (prayers for mothers, graduates, et al), and the mystagogical reflection of the neophytes that will take place these next weeks. It may be difficult to sustain the festivities unless you have a comprehensive plan that takes you all the way to Pentecost. Today, the resurrected Christ offers peace to his disciples. The first reading tells us that the whole community of believers was characterized by being one in heart and mind, which implies a peace-filled body of people. Are our communities one in heart and mind? Are our communities filled with the peace of Christ? Our pluralistic society runs counter to the idea that we could be united in heart and mind even in a church setting. Can we even assume that all parishioners share the same vision of what it means to follow Christ? If we could so assume, then there wouldn’t be so many separate denominations of Christians in the world, and we wouldn’t have controversy in our denomination about where the tabernacle should be placed, what candidates/issues to vote for, and so many other debatable points. We’re never going to agree on everything. How do we help people experience the peace of Christ within a community that can’t find consensus? Can we at least worship together and not allow the liturgy to become a battlefield? What part do I play in peace-making or in fostering dissent? What ideas do I have to surrender instead of holding on tightly because I’m right and “they’re” wrong? How do I receive the peace of Christ, and how do I pass it on to others? —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ third Sunday of easter 22 APRIL 2012 lectionary 47 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD E/O All the Earth 239 906 754 484 654 173 E/O/C/D All You on Earth 200 573 483 266 142 E/O/C/D Alleluia! . . .

I have a dream—that one day all Catholics will have read and studied the Sunday readings before coming to Mass. I’m hoping it’s a dream and not a fantasy that at least some Catholics might do so, but they won’t get this idea on their own. We need to present it as an expectation and make it easy by providing books with the readings in them, or at the very least, putting the citations in the bulletin. The Liturgy of the Word includes hundreds of words every week. There are too many words to catch them all, much less determine God’s word or words for me to take with me into my week. We can proclaim the readings slowly, we can have well-appointed silence, and we can have an incisive homily, but nothing beats taking the time to consider the word of God prayerfully outside of Mass time. We also need to provide opportunities for scripture study in a number of formats in order to meet the differing scheduling needs of the people. If they won’t come for two-hour sessions on ten Thursday nights, could something be offered between Masses on Sunday for twenty minutes, or after daily Mass once a week? What about an adult Bible study during children’s faith formation time? If a comprehensive catechetical program doesn’t fly, think about situations that could accommodate small bites of scripture study. Scripture is not optional in our ritual prayer or in our daily lives. The word of God still speaks to us today. Jesus will open our minds to understand the scriptures. We only need to ask and to receive. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ 29 APRIL 2012 fourth Sunday of easter lectionary 50 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD E/O All the Earth 239 906 754 484 654 173 E/O/C/D At the Lamb’s High Feast 292 564 480 271 512 155 E/O/D Baptized in Living Waters 289 762 620 386 586 E/O/D Be Joyful, Mary, Heavenly Queen 197 568 486 267 152 E/O/C/D Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine 250 849 685 441 O Blest Are We 774 623 409 E/O/D Christ Is Risen!

This image would have been clear to the people at the time of Jesus, but it is not so clear today. I don’t know any shepherds. I sometimes see sheep in fields while driving or when I go to the state fair, but that’s it. One thing for certain: I can’t tell one sheep from another. The good shepherd can distinguish one sheep from another and is willing to protect and defend each sheep. He is even willing to die to safeguard the sheep. Looking at word origins, the word shepherd is related to the words pastor and pastoral. In this way, we call leaders in the Church shepherds. We can also talk about being a “pastoral” liturgist. A pastoral liturgist is one who acts out of concern for each member of the parish. We talk about making a pastoral judgment when choosing music for worship. The pastoral judgment takes into account the specific culture, background, mentality, and faith needs of the community. However, we don’t make musical choices solely from a pastoral point of view. The pastoral determination has to work together with judgments about the ritual appropriateness and the quality of the music. The same is true about other liturgical decisions. How do we apply a pastoral judgment to liturgical preparation and planning? When and how is it permissible to apply a pastoral interpretation to a situation rather than a more rigid one? How do we combine judgments about quality, liturgical appropriateness, and pastoral application as we go about our decision-making? How do we follow the example of the Good Shepherd? Are we willing to lay down our lives for one of this flock? —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ fifth Sunday of easter 6 mAY 2012 lectionary 53 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD O/C A New Commandment 278 828 674 423 616 206 E/O/D Come, Spread the News 580 493 E/O/C God So Loved the World 821 659 27 418 C I Received the Living God (Ballard) 550 286 C I Received the Living God (Jacob) 242 650 547 312 536 193 O/C Live in Me 55 E/O/C/DLove Consecrates the Humblest Act 668 425 O/C Love One Another 834 672 311 O/C Now We Remain 255 652 537 543 224 O Regina Caeli/O Queen of Heaven 196 571 496 154 O/C Set Your Heart on the Higher Gifts 256 831 673 80 426 618 208 E/D Sing a New Song 904 740 O The Greatest Gift 693 573 334 560 E/O/C The King of Love 331 829 676 427 619 O/C We Have Been Told 227 826 675 620 210 Español/Bilingüe S E/S O O/C E/C S O/S E/C O/C E/S E/O/C C/S S E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida Alabaré 920 344 Alabemos a Dios 922 Alaben Todos: Sal 148 378 751 298 Amémonos de Corazón 875 356 Bendeciremos por Siempre: Sal 145(144) 838 358 Con la Cruz 891 343 Eres el Camino (Camino, Verdad y Vida) Hoy Nos Reunimos 911 309 Un Mandamiento Nuevo 894 321 Vamos a la Casa del Señor 916 310 Venimos ante Ti 912 362 Yo Soy el Pan de Vida 526 867 332 Yo Tengo un Gozo en Mi Alma K3 165 85 104 84 127 136 153 126 156 154 96 160 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

The use of the word mystery is not in the sense of a CSI “whodunit,” but to mean something not obvious, not seen on the surface, or not readily understood. The idea is to plumb the depths of the experience and be able to articulate what it means to the person and how it will influence future action or thought. Our days are made up of raw experiences. Few people take the time to ponder the meaning of these experiences unless forced by heightened emotions. Grief or loss on the one hand and joy or delight on the other can cause us to pause and reflect on what is occurring. Current technology may have made it easier to keep a journal, but how many people do so? We teach the neophytes how to do this kind of reflection, but it is something that every person should learn how to do. If we believe that ritual experience can change our hearts and teach us how to live as Christ in the world, then we need to learn how to reflect on the ritual, uncover the truth that is there for us, and consider how to apply it in our daily lives. How can we help people be open to letting the liturgy speak to them? Can we go to Mass with a small notebook and jot down any words, phrases, or images that strike us? And how do we get people to take the time to think back on the liturgy they just celebrated? —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ 13 mAY 2012 sixth Sunday of easter lectionary 56 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD O/C A New Commandment 278 828 674 423 616 206 O Be Joyful, Mary, Heavenly Queen 197 568 486 267 152 E/O/D Come, Christians, Join to Sing 879 721 465 E/O/D God So Loved the World 821 659 27 418 O/C Jesus Christ, Bread of Life 223 638 542 294 539 189 E/O/C Let the Weight of Your Glory Fall 303 E/O/D Lord, I Want to Be a Christian 611 515 O/C Love One Another 834 672 311 C Make of Our Hands a Throne 283 668 559 312 302 542 203 E/O/C More Love, More Power 315 E/O/D Open Wide the Doors to Christ 252 740 601 356 577 182 O/D Testify to Love 353 E/O/D They’ll Know We Are Christians 311 779 625 390 592 E/O/C/DThine Be the Glory 324 567 481 O/D We Will Be the Light 370 O/C Where Charity and Love Prevail (Benoit) 309 833 669 424 623 205 O/C Where Charity and Love Prevail (Hill) 825 667 429 Español/Bilingüe C E O/S E/O O S O C O O/C E/S EO/C E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida A los Hombres Amó Dios (Es Mi Cuerpo) Acudamos Jubilosos 915 Amor Es Vida 901 Bendeciremos por Siempre: Sal 145(144) 838 Cantemos al Amor de los Amores 941 Con la Cruz 891 El Señor Resucitó (tradicional) 862 Gusten y Vean/Taste and See: Sal 34(33) 328 714 Ofertorio (Todo Lo Que Tengo) 918 Un Mandamiento Nuevo 894 Vamos a la Casa del Señor 916 Venimos ante Ti 912 333 328 293 358 372 343 283 357 312 321 310 362 93 157 K9 84 114 127 45 61 158 125 156 154 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

If God loves us, how can there be suffering? Why does God permit diseases, natural disasters, horrible accidents, or unmet basic needs? They aren’t all caused by free will. Does God love one person more than another? Why are a few saved in the earthquake and thousands die? Why are some plucked from poverty while most are never able to escape? Have we asked Job lately why bad things happen to good people? Job blesses God and admits he cannot fathom the mind of God. I think we have to do the same. Faith allows us to believe even when there is no concrete evidence around us. I find it much easier to pray with confidence for someone else who is having difficulties than to pray for myself. I have more hope than confidence when it comes to my own needs or problems. My times of doubt are what make writing general intercessions a challenge. The writer Annie Dillard tells a story about attending a worship service in which the pastor stops himself during the prayers of intercession and says, “We bring you these same prayers every week, Lord!” The implication is, “When are you going to answer us?” I try not to tell God what to do when I write intercessions for Mass. I prefer “For the brokenhearted” or “For healing for the brokenhearted,” rather than “That God will heal the brokenhearted so that they may have peace.” The difference may be subtle, and I do believe that God will heal those who are brokenhearted. But, since I cannot fathom the mind of God, I need to trust the actions of our loving God. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ ascension of the lord 17, 20 mAY 2012 lectionary 58 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD E/O/D Alleluia No. 1 294 735 599 353 150 E/OD Alleluia!

If God loves us, how can there be suffering? Why does God permit diseases, natural disasters, horrible accidents, or unmet basic needs? They aren’t all caused by free will. Does God love one person more than another? Why are a few saved in the earthquake and thousands die? Why are some plucked from poverty while most are never able to escape? Have we asked Job lately why bad things happen to good people? Job blesses God and admits he cannot fathom the mind of God. I think we have to do the same. Faith allows us to believe even when there is no concrete evidence around us. I find it much easier to pray with confidence for someone else who is having difficulties than to pray for myself. I have more hope than confidence when it comes to my own needs or problems. My times of doubt are what make writing general intercessions a challenge. The writer Annie Dillard tells a story about attending a worship service in which the pastor stops himself during the prayers of intercession and says, “We bring you these same prayers every week, Lord!” The implication is, “When are you going to answer us?” I try not to tell God what to do when I write intercessions for Mass. I prefer “For the brokenhearted” or “For healing for the brokenhearted,” rather than “That God will heal the brokenhearted so that they may have peace.” The difference may be subtle, and I do believe that God will heal those who are brokenhearted. But, since I cannot fathom the mind of God, I need to trust the actions of our loving God. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ 2 0 mAY 2012 seventh Sunday of easter lectionary 60 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD E/O/C/DAll You on Earth 200 573 483 266 142 E/O/C At the Name of Jesus 598 5 E/O/C At the Table of the World 217 658 541 6 301 533 204 E/O/D Come, Christians, Join to Sing 879 721 465 O/C Father, We Thank Thee (Tucker) 630 522 316 E/O/C Glorify Thy Name 257 O/C Live in Me 55 E/O/D Lord of the Dance 725 592 366 E/O/C/DLove Divine, All Loves Excelling 306 832 677 431 617 C Make of Our Hands a Throne 283 668 559 312 302 542 203 O/C Make Us One 297 781 626 392 E/O/C/DPraise the Risen Lord 310 563 487 256 147 D Rain Down (Bolduc) 671 76 E/O Seek Ye First 837 679 433 674 O/D Testify to Love 353 E/O/D The Church’s One Foundation 293 764 618 385 588 175 Español/Bilingüe O/C E/C C O/S E/O/C O S O/C S O E/S E/O/C E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida Al Partir el Pan Alaben Todos: Sal 148 378 Altísimo Señor Amor Es Vida Bendeciremos por Siempre: Sal 145(144) Bendigamos al Señor Con la Cruz El Señor Es Compasivo: Sal 103(102) 433 358 163 Éste Es el Día Qué Grande Es Mi Dios Vamos a la Casa del Señor Venimos ante Ti 869 329 751 298 868 340 901 293 838 358 899 342 891 343 737 349 865 280 865 916 310 912 362 97 85 98 K9 84 133 127 70 53 163 156 154 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

We are not doing little plays from the scenes of Jesus’ life; there is always more going on. We cannot pretend we don’t know the “end of the story.” Tonight we remember the institution of the Eucharist, and we look forward to the heavenly banquet foreshadowed in the Eucharist, all in the context of two stories, the Passover story in Exodus and the footwashing story from the Gospel of John. The Passover story reminds us that an innocent lamb’s blood was shed in order to save the Israelites from slavery. We believe that Jesus is the new innocent Lamb of God whose blood is shed to save us from the slavery of sin and death. The lamb that was killed was also eaten by the Israelites to give them food for the journey. We consume the Body and Blood of the Lamb of God to sustain us on our journey. At the time of Jesus, providing materials to wash feet was an act of hospitality for guests in one’s home. But the host did not wash the feet of the guests; foot-washing was done by the house slaves. Jesus told Peter, “Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me.” Jesus also said they should wash each other’s feet as he had washed theirs. It might be easier to serve one another than to be the one who is being served. Is it easier to wash someone else’s feet or to be the one who gets his or her feet washed? —Vicki Klima Excerpts from the New American Bible with Revised New Testament and Psalms © 1991, 1986, 1970, Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., Washington, DC.

First, there is a set of readings for a Saturday evening Vigil Mass (#62) to be celebrated before or after Evening Prayer I for Pentecost. One set of readings is provided for any year in the three-year cycle, with four choices for the first reading. Vigil Masses can be a challenge because many homilists do not want to prepare a Saturday homily and a Sunday homily. Also, how many parishioners are likely to hear the readings both for a Saturday vigil and the Sunday Mass? Encouragement for a longer Pentecost Vigil Mass can be found in the Pastoral Notes of the Ordo. The Liturgy of the Word is set up in a similar fashion as the Easter Vigil. There are four readings with psalms followed by the Gloria, opening oration, Epistle, and Gospel. The purpose of the vigil is to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit. I wouldn’t choose to celebrate the vigil in this way without notifying and catechizing parishioners about it ahead of time. The readings for Pentecost day in Years B and C include the same first reading and psalm for all three years, but offer choices for both the second reading and the Gospel. There is also a Pentecost sequence, which is prayed—or better yet, sung—before the Gospel acclamation. A sequence is liturgical poetry that adds to the meaning of the feast day. The Pentecost sequence in Latin includes a poetic use of meter and rhyme. There once were many sequences used throughout the liturgical year. Only two are now required, on Easter and on Pentecost. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ 3 june 2012 the most holy trinity lectionary 165 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal E/O/D E/O/D O/C E/D E/O/D D E/O/C C E/O/D E/O/D O/C C E/D E/O/D E/D E/O/D E/O/D E/O/D WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M All Hail, Adored Trinity 259 753 614 377 585 165 All Things Bright and Beautiful 712 582 348 567 Give Thanks and Remember 656 545 315 Glorify Thy Name 257 Glory and Praise to Our God 909 739 658 Go to the World! 889 733 God of Wonders 262 God’s Holy Mystery 632 529 28 297 Great One in Three 616 30 How Great Thou Art 291 933 738 496 240 May We and God Be One 65 One Communion of Love 224 662 534 70 311 545 198 Our God 72 Priestly People 761 617 383 587 220 Shine, Jesus, Shine 339 Sing Praise to Our Creator 338 752 615 376 584 166 Sing Your Praises to the Father 755 613 We Are Your People 765 619 387 589 181 Español/Bilingüe C O/C O/C E C E/O/S S S O O E/S E/O/C SM CPD 168 E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida A los Hombres Amó Dios (Es Mi Cuerpo) 333 Al Partir el Pan 869 329 Alabar, Siervos de Dios: Sal 113(112) 296 Alabemos a Dios 922 Altísimo Señor 868 340 Bendeciremos por Siempre: Sal 145(144) 838 358 Cantad, Naciones, al Señor Elevamos Nuestros Cantos 929 Ofertorio Nicaragüense 919 313 Santísima Trinidad/O Holy Trinity 881 304 Santo, Santo, Santo Venimos ante Ti 912 362 93 97 73 165 98 84 170 172 159 119 113 154 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

The words that accompany the sign of the cross say that we are praying in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We use the same formula at the end of Mass in the final blessing. The Glory to God is addressed to Father and Son and mentions the Holy Spirit near the end. The Nicene Creed names our most basic beliefs about the Three-in-one. The orations are prayed to God the Father through Christ in union with the Spirit. Likewise, the Eucharistic Prayer is addressed to God the Father, prayed through Christ, and in unity with the Spirit: We pray through Christ, and with him, and in him, to God, our almighty Father, all in the unity of the Holy Spirit, giving the triune God all glory and honor forever and ever. (We might ponder what it means to pray through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ—what do these three prepositions mean?) The Eucharistic Prayer gives praise and thanks to God the Father/Creator, naming the great works God has done for us, especially in the actions of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is asked to come upon the gifts of bread and wine and to unite into one body all who receive these gifts transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ. Is it important for people to understand references to each of the three persons of the Trinity and to distinguish what role each plays in the Mass or in the world? There’s a reason that three-persons-in-oneGod is considered a mystery. We can’t go wrong if we remember that the one God of love has chosen us and redeemed us. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ 10 june 2012 the most holy body & blood of Christ (corpus Christi) lectionary 168 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal E/O/C E/O/C E/O/C E/O/C E/O C E/O/C E/O E/O/C O/C E/O/C E/D O/C E/D E/O/C O/C SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD At That First Eucharist 336 628 544 292 532 195 Draw Near 232 624 521 20 293 531 188 Eucharistic Litany 625 546 21 310 Gift of Finest Wheat 222 640 536 300 534 194 God’s Holy Mystery 632 529 28 297 I Believe This Is Jesus 644 540 I Come with Joy 887 552 320 I Have Made a Covenant 716 584 344 In Remembrance of You 253 646 548 46 317 537 201 In This Bread 296 Jesus, Bread of Life 220 657 543 295 Nothing 318 Our Blessing Cup (Kutscher) 636 553 Reason to Live 77 Remember Me 263 654 549 304 Sequence: Praise, O Zion 241 651 558 319 172 Take and Eat This Bread 645 557 349 544 191 Español/Bilingüe E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida E/O/C/SA los Hombres Amó Dios (Es Mi Cuerpo) 333 O/C Al Partir el Pan 869 329 O/C Alabado Sea el Santísimo 936 323 E/C Canción del Cuerpo de Cristo/Song . . .

The Corpus Christi procession may have a broader appeal and has experienced a resurgence in some areas. It is an optional celebration. The local bishop decides if it would be appropriate for the diocese. In a Corpus Christi procession, the Eucharist is solemnly carried in a monstrance along a designated route. People in the procession reverently sing and pray. They are expressing their eucharistic devotion to the community at large. The procession honors the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist in a public way. “Real presence” might seem like an odd term. Is there an “unreal” presence? The word “real” means that Christ is fully present. In times past, Catholics have been ridiculed by people who thought we believe that we are eating the physical flesh and blood of Christ. We do not comprehend the reality of the Body and Blood of Christ through our senses; we believe by faith that Christ is truly present. We consume the Body and Blood of Christ, and we receive Christ in our own bodies in order to be Christ-like in the world. The Church offers a number of possible ways to express our love of the Eucharist, including devotional practices such as processions, Eucharistic Adoration or Exposition, and Benediction. Whether we do or don’t participate in these devotions, we need to make it clear that the reception of Communion (under both forms, it is to be hoped) at Mass is the central activity in Catholic ritual. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ 17 june 2012 eleventh Sunday in ordinary time lectionary 92 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal O E/O E/O/D C E/O/D E/O/D E/O E/O/D O/D C O/C E/O/D C O/C E/O/D O/C SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD All Will Be Well 264 851 691 1 443 Be Not Afraid 270 852 695 446 627 226 Blest Are They 276 946 768 673 234 Breathe 217 Christ, Be Near at Either Hand 246 731 589 14 361 179 How Can I Keep from Singing 841 684 625 I Just Came to Praise the Lord 902 736 Lord of All Hopefulness 268 811 656 415 609 Lord, Reign in Me 308 Make of Our Hands a Throne 283 668 559 312 302 542 203 Make Us One 297 781 626 392 O God, Our Help in Ages Past 229 842 687 435 624 174 This Is My Body 635 530 318 Thy Word 93 We Walk by Faith 328 822 664 416 614 222 We Will Follow You 697 Español/Bilingüe O/C E E/O S O/C O/C C E O/S O/C E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida Al Partir el Pan 869 329 Alabemos a Dios 922 Bendeciremos por Siempre: Sal 145 838 358 Con la Cruz 891 343 Den Gracias al Señor: Sal 118(117) 832 289 El Señor Es Compasivo: Sal 103(102) 433 358 163 737 349 Gusten y Vean/Taste and See: Sal 34(33) 328 714 357 Hoy Nos Reunimos 911 309 Te Den Gracias Tesoros Ocultos/Treasures Out of Darkness 848 681 440 909 337 97 165 84 127 76 70 61 153 179 147 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

Are we helping people pray and grow closer to God? We scatter seeds, but do they wither and die or become great plants? A faith journey is complex, and we may never know the part we played in another’s life. I sometimes meet people who tell me about a liturgy or presentation that I was part of years ago that deeply touched them in such a way that they can still remember the occasion. I may have felt good about the experience at the time (it can be difficult to remember), but I couldn’t have predicted whether I was changing lives for the better or even slightly influencing people. If someone goes into the liturgical or sacred music world for accolades or rewards, that person should be prepared to be disappointed. Liturgical choices never please all of the people all of the time. There will always be critics. There will always be people who say, “That was nice, but . . .” It seems there will always be controversies and people who liked the way we used to do it better and people who aren’t happy if they can’t point out flaws. Life-changing moments are few, really. We have to find our contentment in the plodding, day-by-day instances of life when we hope we are adding to the positive fabric of others’ lives. We have to savor the times we feel we may have stepped out of the way enough so that God could act through us. Do your part. Plant lots of seeds. Do what you can to provide sun, water, and nourishment for growth. But remember, God is in charge of the harvest. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ nativity of st. john the baptist 24 june 2012 lectionary 586, 587 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal E/O C E/O/D D D E/O/D E/O/C C E/O/D O/C D E/O O E/O/C E/O/D O SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD Did You Feel the Mountain Tremble? 240 Draw Near 232 624 521 20 293 531 188 For All the Saints Who’ve Shown Your Love 779 Go to the World! 889 733 I Send You Out 890 723 287 I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light 795 628 404 602 213 Look to the One 57 Make of Our Hands a Throne 283 668 559 312 302 542 203 On Jordan’s Bank 471 402 190 491 Prayer of Saint Francis 205 874 709 459 638 Rise Up, My People 331 Seek Ye First 837 679 433 674 Strength for the Journey 786 647 87 232 The Servant Song 286 814 655 413 610 235 Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones 237 966 778 522 681 You Are Near 868 692 636 Español/Bilingüe E/O S O/C O/C S C E O/C O O/C/S O O/C E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida Aleluya, Cantemos al Señor 923 284 Con la Cruz 891 343 Digo Sí, Señor/I Say Yes, My Lord 662 288 887 367 El Señor Es Compasivo: Sal 103(102) 433 358 163 737 349 Él Vive, Él Reina 925 352 Gusten y Vean/Taste and See: Sal 34(33) 328 714 357 Hoy Nos Reunimos 911 309 No Endurezcan el Corazón: Sal 95 363 Ofertorio (Todo Lo Que Tengo) 918 312 Qué Bueno Es Mi Señor Quiero Servirte Mi Señor 893 366 Tesoros Ocultos/Treasures Out of Darkness 848 681 440 909 337 166 127 128 70 171 61 153 69 158 162 130 147 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

There is no Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time this year. Instead, we celebrate the birth of John the Baptist. Note that there are Vigil readings that may be used before or after Evening Prayer I for the feast. I think that most preachers will not want to prepare two homilies, however. The Gospel tells us that when his parents choose the baby’s name, John, people are astonished because the name is not one used in that family. What we don’t hear is in the Vigil Gospel. An angel has revealed the name John to the parents, Elizabeth and Zechariah. The name John means “God is gracious.” Elizabeth was too old to have a child, but God was gracious and she conceived anyway. I am amazed at some of the names people choose for their children. Celebrities have given their children names like Apple, River, Scout, Free, and Banjo. I don’t know if any of these children are baptized. Conversely, I’ve heard horror stories of priests fifty years ago who didn’t like the name the parents had given to their child, so they baptized the child with a different name that they chose on the spot, the name of a canonized saint. Have we grown out of the custom of naming our Catholic children after saints? Is the idea of a patron saint old-fashioned? Do we need to help people learn more about the saints so that they might choose a child’s name, or at least the middle name, for a saint? It is difficult to fight cultural trends, but let’s continue to ask what place the saints should have in our lives. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ 1 july 2012 thirteenth Sunday in ordinary time lectionary 98 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal C E/O/C E/O E/O/C D C E/O/D O O/C E/O/D C E/O O/D E/O/D O/D E/O/C E/O/D SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M All I Need 203 At the Table of the World 217 658 541 6 301 533 204 Come!

Most people see the start of the school year as more of a “new year” than January 1. You will want to send out information about upcoming sessions in mid to late August. It is good to offer at least yearly updates for each of the ministries. Even the person who says, “I’ve been a reader for thirty years. Why do I need to come to a workshop?” should be persuaded that everyone can grow and deepen his or her ministry. I think we are obligated to provide opportunities for enrichment for our ministers. For the sake of my schedule, I spread them out through the year so I attend about one a month (skipping December and the time near Triduum). We have a simple meal together, prayer, a presentation that includes conversation, and then a time to discuss any specific issues or concerns within the ministry. The meal may add some logistical difficulties, but I have found that taking time to get to know one another through talking and eating draws people together. It also allows us to begin evening sessions at 6:30 because people can come from work. We also provide childcare. The other schedule that works is to invite everyone on the same day. The group stays together for prayer, refreshments, and a presentation on a general ministerial topic or catechesis about the Mass. Then the group breaks into individual ministries either for further instruction or for time to talk about issues specific to that ministry. People are needed to lead each of the breakout groups. Ongoing formation and education are not luxuries; they are integral in helping our ministers grow. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ fourteenth Sunday in ordinary time 8 july 2012 lectionary 101 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD E/O/D All Creatures of Our God and King 903 745 481 652 O/D Blessed Be Your Name 216 O/D Christ Has No Body Now But Yours 299 809 631 222 598 233 E/O Gathered as One 280 886 717 25 464 643 186 D Go, Be Justice 301 901 730 476 645 215 E/O/D God, We Praise You 907 743 495 C God’s Holy Mystery 632 729 28 297 C Jesus Christ, Bread of Life 223 638 542 294 539 189 E/O/C/DJesus Christ, by Faith Revealed 234 734 595 369 573 231 O/C See Us, Lord, about Your Altar 626 554 314 D Sent Forth by God’s Blessing 319 898, 899 726, 729 474, 475 648 237 E/O/D Sing with All the Saints in Glory 203 948 770 510 672 145 E/O Sometimes by Step 85 E/O/D Stewards of Earth 941 759 509 E/O/D There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy 327 682 560 322 556 D Your Grace Is Enough 389 O/C Your Love Is Deep 386 Español/Bilingüe O/C E/C E/O O S O/S O/C E S O O/C E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida Al Partir el Pan 869 329 Alaben Todos: Sal 148 378 751 298 Bendeciremos por Siempre: Sal 145(144) 838 358 Bendigamos al Señor 342 Con la Cruz 891 343 Eres el Camino Gusten y Vean/Taste and See: Sal 34(33) 328 714 357 Hoy Nos Reunimos 911 309 Oh, Criaturas del Señor Quiero Servirte Mi Señor 893 366 Tesoros Ocultos/Treasures Out of Darkness 848 681 440 909 337 97 85 84 133 127 136 61 153 112 130 147 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

I want to be thought of as an overachiever, as one who meets deadlines, who can be relied on to follow through on a project. I want to get an “A” on my assignments, a trait that continues even though I am no longer in school. I don’t like to admit that I need help, but I am learning that getting help makes life so much easier. I sometimes hear myself saying, “It takes too long to teach someone else how to do it. I can do it faster if I just do it myself.” Do I think there is only one way to do something—my way? Am I really afraid that someone else will do it differently than I would? Can I let go of my control issues and allow someone else the satisfaction of a job well done? Part of my ministry has to be teaching others how to prepare and plan all of the facets of liturgical celebrations. Learning how to delegate has been a difficult lesson for me but a necessary one. If I share responsibilities with a number of people, I relieve my own stress level, and I get more people taking ownership of the project. One area where I do admit weakness is planning liturgical environments. I know the principles, but I am not a visual artist. I need people on my team who understand color, fabric, and design. I need a plant person who knows how and when to repot things. I need a crew of people willing to haul and move and hang and clean up. When I’m able to admit my weakness, the community can step in to help. The end result is much stronger than what I can do alone. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ 15 july 2012 fifteenth Sunday in ordinary time lectionary 104 music suggestions CEL/M CPD Blessed Be Your Name 216 Eucharistic Litany 625 546 21 310 Go 891 731 478 Go Make a Difference 258 Go Now in Peace 897 732 259 14 649 Go Out in the World 724 261 God So Loved the World 821 659 27 418 God’s Holy Mystery 632 529 28 297 I Send You Out 890 723 287 Jesu, Jesu, Fill Us with Your Love 784 653 407 604 Jesus, Bread of Life 220 657 543 295 On the Wings of Change 254 951 767 512 Open the Eyes of My Heart 324 Open Wide the Doors to Christ 252 740 601 356 577 182 Sing with All the Saints in Glory 203 948 770 510 672 145 The Hand of the Lord Feeds Us 666 525 We Are Marching/Siyahamba 803 632 398 When We Are Living/Pues Si Vivimos 810 658 408 896 351 137 E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal O/D C D D D D E/O/D C D O/D E/O/C D E/O/D E/O/D E/O/D C E/D E/O Español/Bilingüe O/C O/C E O/C O E/O/S O/S O/C O S E/O/C SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida Digo Sí, Señor/I Say Yes, My Lord 662 288 887 367 En la Paz de Cristo Hoy Nos Reunimos 911 309 Muéstranos, Señor: Sal 85(84) 828 Oye el Llamado Profetiza Te Den Gracias Tesoros Ocultos/Treasures Out of Darkness 848 681 440 909 337 Tomado de la Mano 907 360 Un Pueblo Que Camina 885 345 Venimos ante Ti 912 362 128 151 153 68 131 174 179 147 132 K64 154 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

The home is cozy and inviting, refreshments are readily available, and there is a feeling of warmth and expectation. You know that they have put some time into getting everything just so. They take pleasure in your company. I don’t want to equate parishioners coming to the church to guests coming to your house. They are members, not guests. But we do need to consider how to help people feel as if care has been taken to make the space welcoming. Walk around the church and pretend you are seeing it for the first time. Look at all the spaces with a critical eye, especially entrances, and get rid of clutter and unused furnishings. Find a way to display information, flyers, and pamphlets in an orderly manner. Make certain all areas are clean, including washrooms. Ensure that washrooms are well stocked with supplies. Consider what might be helpful to people with special needs. Do you have assisted listening devices and large-print worship guides? Are ushers/greeters trained to welcome people, deal with emergency situations, and assist people with disabilities? Are all the spaces accessible to those using wheelchairs or walkers? Are areas well lit and not dreary-feeling? Are sight lines to the altar, ambo, chair, and font clear? Can the sound system be counted on to work for both speaking and singing? Are liturgical ministers prepared and do they convey an invitational spirit? Are refreshments offered after Mass on a regular basis? The word welcome originally meant “one whose coming is in accord with another’s will.” Let us provide a hospitable place where we can take pleasure in each other’s company. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2012 ♦ sixteenth Sunday in ordinary time 22 july 2012 lectionary 107 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal E/O O O/C E/O/C E/O/C E/O/D E/O/D O/C E/O/C O E/O/D O/C O O O E/O/C C C SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD All the Earth 239 906 754 484 654 173 All Will Be Well 264 851 691 1 443 Come, All You Blessed Ones 853 704 224 447 202 Come to Me (Norbet) 257 855 698 444 628 Come, Worship the Lord 18 God, Our God of Distant Ages 711 585 346 I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say 298 866 700 452 626 In the Arms of the Shepherd 282 862 701 47 449 632 228 Jesus, Hope of the World 741 591 298 574 Just a Closer Walk with Thee 265 859 693 450 244 O God, Our Help in Ages Past 229 842 687 435 624 174 One Bread, One Body 206 661 518 546 192 One Faith 323 Peace (Demny) 706 Peace (Norbet) 878 710 462 Shepherd of Souls, Refresh and Bless 284 639 524 296 Take and Eat This Bread 645 557 349 544 191 We Are One Body 98 Español/Bilingüe E/O/C O/C O/C O/C O O/C O/C E O/C S E/O/C S E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida Bendeciremos por Siempre: Sal 145(144) 838 358 El Señor Es Compasivo: Sal 103(102) 433 358 163 737 349 El Señor Es Mi Pastor: Sal 23(22) (Florián) 822 326 El Señor Es Mi Pastor: Sal 23(22) (Rubalcava) 334 Eran Cien Ovejas 905 Eres Mi Pastor: Sal 23(22) 823 315 Gusten y Vean/Taste and See: Sal 34(33) 328 714 357 Hoy Nos Reunimos 911 309 Oh Jesús, Oh Buen Pastor Venga Tu Reino 930 Venimos ante Ti 912 362 Vine Para Que Tengan 902 324 84 70 55 54 150 56 61 153 189 178 154 146 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

Funerals are the best example. They can happen at the busiest times, but all other plans go on the back burner in order to care for people in grief. My heart is “moved with pity” when I spend time with these people, but sometimes I have had an internal struggle to get there. I can grow resentful if I always squash my needs in favor of others’ needs. How do we balance our own needs with meeting the needs of others? God doesn’t want us to cancel all vacations and run ourselves ragged helping everyone else. Self-care is important, too. We need to put plans into place so that we aren’t the only ones who can do funeral planning, or who can do any specific part of our ministry. Everything shouldn’t fall apart if we take a day off or if we’re sick. We might feel the temptation to try to be irreplaceable. We might even enjoy the sympathy when people notice we are working long hours. We could be mistakenly thinking that our motivation is coming from dedication to our ministry when it really comes from our ego. When I look at today’s first reading, I love to apply it to leaders in the Church who may be misleading the Lord’s flock. But I am also a leader. I have to examine my own motivations and actions. I have to pray for a good shepherd’s heart and for the ability to be a wise leader. The first wisdom to pray for is the knowledge of when to stay and serve others and when to go away and take care of myself. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2011 ♦ 29 july 2012 seventeenth Sunday in ordinary time lectionary 110 music suggestions E=Entrance/O=Offertory/C=Communion/D=Dismissal SM WC/H WS VAO PMB CEL/H CEL/M CPD E/O/C/DBlest Are They 276 946 768 673 234 E Gather Us In 226 883 716 640 184 E/O Gathered as One 280 886 717 25 464 643 186 D God’s Blessing Sends Us Forth 307 893 728 473 647 238 O/C I Am the Vine (Warner) 649 E/O/C Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You 322 918 742 497 657 176 O One Faith 323 E/O/C Remember Me 263 654 549 304 O/C The Hand of the Lord Feeds Us 666 525 E/O/D There Is One Lord 610 516 287 527 230 O/D ’Tis the Gift to Be Simple 798 636 402 607 E/O/D We Are Called 792 644 608 C We Are One Body 98 E/O/D We Are the Light of the World 934 765 506 671 214 E/O/D We Sing the Mighty Power of God 925 749 351 Español/Bilingüe O/C E/S E/O/C O O/C C E O/C O S O/S E/O/C E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida Al Partir el Pan 869 329 Aleluya, Cantemos al Señor 923 284 Bendeciremos por Siempre: Sal 145(144) 838 358 Bendigamos al Señor 899 342 Bendito Seas Tú, Señor 917 314 Gusten y Vean/Taste and See: Sal 34(33) 328 714 357 Hoy Nos Reunimos 911 309 Pan de Vida 649 531 871 330 Señor, Tú Eres el Pan 872 331 Te Den Gracias Un Solo Señor (Rubalcava) 898 350 Venimos ante Ti 912 362 97 166 84 133 92 61 153 K46 94 179 138 154 SM = Seasonal Missalette • WC/H = We Celebrate Hymnal • WS = Word and Song • VAO = Voices As One (vols. 1 & 2) PMB = People’s Mass Book CEL/H = ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate!

Many homilists find it demanding to speak on the same subject for five weeks. That same challenge exists for liturgists and musicians, so it is a good idea to plan these weeks as a whole. While the music and prayers can reflect our best eucharistic theology, let us not neglect the fact that Jesus actually fed hungry people on that mountain. “Bread of Life” is not just a spiritual concept. How does Jesus meet the physical needs of starving people in our world today? He meets them through the work we do as his hands and feet and voice. Eucharist cannot only be about “me and Jesus.” It is difficult for people to care about their spiritual needs if their physical needs are not being taken care of. Hunger and poverty are eucharistic issues. This Bread of Life is also the Body of Christ, and we are members of that one Body. We are mutually dependent, united to one another through Christ, and in solidarity with the poor. Each of us is not a lone soul attempting to make the journey to heaven. We have each other, and we have a responsibility to help one another, spiritually and physically. The Mass does not exist as an hour of prayer time with God completely divorced from the mundane. What we learn through the Mass, what we experience through the Mass, we take into the week. As Jesus feeds us, so must we feed one another. One of the fruits of Holy Communion is our commitment to the poor. —Vicki Klima AIM Sum mer/ver ano 2011 ♦ hymn index Music in WLP Missals 17th sunday in ordinary time • dates of application appear in missalette’s table of contents = seasonal missalette cel = ¡celebremos!/let us celebrate missal 2nd sunday of easter through sm SM CEL A New Commandment 278 All Are Welcome 236 All Hail, Adored Trinity 259 All People That on Earth Do Dwell 243 All the Earth 239 All Will Be Well 264 All You on Earth 200 Alleluia No. 1 294 Alleluia!
