DEVOTiONR E F L E C T I O N • AC T I O N

R E F L E X I Ó N • ACC I Ó NDEVOCiÓN

The summer before I was ordained, I spent a few days at a Trappist monastery. During an early August morning, a monk from the abbey and I carried lawn chairs to a corner of the cornfield. The dew-drenched

grass clippings clung to our sandals and toes. We sat under the morning sun and I asked him, “Could you teach me to pray?” He smiled with a gentle laugh and said to me, “Yes, that is easy. Just ask Jesus for an exchange of hearts.”

My youthful heart was quite uncertain about what the gentle monk was asking me to do. However, I have learned in my many years of priestly ministry the truth and depth of his answer. Our prayer in our search for Jesus and for the meaning of our own lives rests in our hearts, our bodies. Prayer is neither an intellec-tual pursuit nor an academic endeavor. The richness of mercy, of compassion, and of real tenderness is a matter of the heart.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus reveals this profound compassion in the depths of human trauma and turmoil. I believe we must dis-cover the real heartaches of people in order to understand such mercy and forgiveness. My ministry has taken me to the edges of people’s suffering in very unexpected ways. I never fully com-prehend the death of a child or the brutality of war or the self- hatred of an addict. However, I do understand more fully the heart of Jesus, who is with us always no matter what happens to us.

The image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is not pietistic or sac-charine. The notion of the heart of Christ is our lived understand-ing of faith helping us all transform trauma, disasters, and ha-tred. We are called well beyond our desires to protect our hearts, to live only for our own wellbeing. This devotion is more than a quiet reflection of faith, but an action taken by all believers to offer our lives for the good of others. This devotion of the Sacred Heart helps us put love into reality, tenderness into our human aches and hardships.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 88 de junio: El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús

Our parish community is named for the Sacred Heart. Now I realize more deeply the wounds of people’s lives and our long-ing for integrity, healing, and justice. I cling to the Sacred Heart of Jesus to help me lead our people to a common exchange of hearts with the person of Jesus. This encounter of Jesus in prayer helps us to rely on him alone and releases us from the agony and anguish of life’s hurts. The Sacred Heart of Jesus offers us true healing, but also challenges us to reach out to the edges of life to bring faith, hope, and love to even the most unexpected places.

For Reflection and Action:• How does devotion to the Sacred Heart connect to action in

daily life? Invite your worshiping community to make that connection with their work in the community toward justice, relief of hunger, and an end to violence.

• How do we pray from the heart? Invite people toward a more heart-centered prayer, a movement of our own hearts toward compassion, integrity, and tenderness to the world’s division and hatred.

El verano antes de ser ordenado, pasé unos días en un monasterio trapense. Durante una mañana tem-prana de agosto, un monje de la abadía y yo lleva-mos sillas de jardín a un rincón del campo de maíz.

El pasto cortado empapado de rocío se nos pegaba en las san-dalias y dedos de los pies. Nos sentamos bajo el sol matinal y le pregunté: “¿Me enseñarías a rezar?” Se sonrió con una suave risa y me dijo: “Sí, es fácil. Pídele a Jesús intercambiar corazones”.

Mi joven corazón no estaba muy seguro de lo que el ama- ble monje me pedía que hiciera. Sin embargo, aprendí en mis muchos años de ministerio sacerdotal la verdad y profundidad de su respuesta. Nuestra oración en nuestra búsqueda de Jesús y del significado de nuestra propia vida yace en nuestro corazón, en nuestro cuerpo. La oración no es una búsqueda intelectual ni una tarea académica. La riqueza de la misericordia, de la compa-sión y la ternura verdadera es una cuestión del corazón.

El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús revela esta profunda compa-sión en el fondo del trauma y confusión del ser humano. Creo que debemos descubrir la verdadera angustia de la gente para comprender tal misericordia y perdón. Mi ministerio me ha lleva-do a los extremos del sufrimiento de la gente de maneras muy inesperadas. Nunca comprendo plenamente la muerte de un niño ni la brutalidad de la guerra y el odio hacia sí mismo de un dro-gadicto. Sin embargo, comprendo más plenamente el corazón de Jesús, que está con nosotros sin importar lo que nos suceda.

La imagen del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús no es pietista ni empalagosa. La noción del corazón de Cristo la interiorizamos cuando vivimos momentos en los que la fe nos ayuda a todos a transformar el trauma, los desastres y el odio. Estamos llamados más allá de nuestros deseos a proteger nuestro corazón, a vi-vir solo por nuestro propio bienestar. Esta devoción es más que una reflexión silenciosa de fe, es una acción realizada por todos los creyentes para ofrecer su vida por el bien del prójimo. Esta devoción al Sagrado Corazón nos ayuda a poner el amor en la realidad, la ternura en nuestros dolores y dificultades humanas.

Nuestra comunidad parroquial lleva el nombre de Sagra-do Corazón. Ahora me doy cuenta más profundamente de las heridas de la vida de la gente y nuestro anhelo de integridad, sanación y justicia. Me aferro al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús para que me ayude a guiar a la gente a un intercambio común de corazones con la persona de Jesús. Este encuentro de Jesús en la oración nos ayuda a confiar solamente en él y nos libera de la agonía y angustia de los dolores de la vida. El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús nos ofrece una sanación verdadera, pero también nos desafía a llegar hasta los marginados de la vida para llevar fe, esperanza y amor incluso a los lugares más inesperados.

Para reflexionar y hacer:• ¿Cómo se relaciona la devoción al Sagrado Corazón con el vi-

vir diario? Invita a tu comunidad de fe a realizar esa conexión con su labor en la comunidad en pro de la justicia, el alivio del hambre y el fin de la violencia.

• ¿Cómo rezamos desde el corazón? Invita a los fieles a una oración más centrada en el corazón, un movimiento de nuestro propio corazón hacia la compasión, la integridad y la ternura para poner fin a la división y odio en el mundo.

Putting On— and Wearing Out—Christ

Dr. Patricia Hughes of the Dallas-Fort Worth archdiocese explains the opportunities and chal-lenges a growing church in the U.S. South and West presents for minis-try. Mary Elizabeth Sperry informs us what the Lectionary is—and isn’t. WLP composers Janèt Sullivan-Whitaker and Michael Joncas are featured in Beyond the Bio.

When I was growing up, there was a definite clothing hierarchy inside the closets at our house. There were

play clothes, which also were worn to help with inside chores or outside with yard work, or shoveling during the winter. There were school clothes, which were a little bit nicer, but on occasion got dirty or torn. Then came Sunday best, worn to church and for some special occasions. Finally, there was the good suit, stored in a garment bag or dry cleaner bag, and brought out rarely—most often when someone was married or buried. Most every item of clothing that each of us had fit into one of these categories.

There was one other garment in the house: the small white baptismal gown that we all wore when we were baptized as infants. (To this day, there isn’t anyone in my immediate gene pool who was baptized as an adult.) This gown, handed around and handed down, was kept very carefully. It was wrapped in blue tissue paper so that the light wouldn’t make it dingy, and sealed thoroughly inside a plastic bag. It remained undisturbed in a seldom-opened drawer until somebody else needed it for another baptism.

That gown—like the albs worn by adults baptized at the Easter Vigil—is the sign of being clothed in, or having put on, Christ (see Galatians 3:27). In the rite (both for infants and adults), the newly-baptized are told to bring the white gar-ment unstained into the kingdom of heaven.

While I understand why the baptis-mal rite is worded that way, there’s a part of me that thinks of our putting on Christ as being prepped to get stained: some-times by our own failings, other times by getting into a bunch of scuffles with evil and injustice, perhaps splattered as we

work to feed the hungry, and on occa-sion using that Christ with whom we have been clothed to help others come up out of a place of trial, despair, or doubt—and maybe ripping a sleeve or a seam in the process if need be.

Discipleship is often a down ‘n’ dirty thing. I like to think that if I’d show up at the throne of mercy and grace one day in a Christ-garment that was well-worn, wrinkled, ripped, and patched, with sweat marks and a few faint never-quite-came-out stains because I’d truly engaged life fully and actively, joyfully doing my best to be alive in Christ and Christ in me—well, then, I hope I’d be ushered into God’s reign along with everyone who had man-aged to keep their garment spotless.

ALANHOMMERDING

MUSINGS

There are a lot of ways in which the reign of God that Jesus came to tell us about is an upside-down place. It’s in that spirit, and through water and the Spirit, that I increasingly believe our Christ-clothing needs to be kept with the play clothes and the work/chore clothes. May-be then “Sunday best” won’t describe only what we’re wearing, but how we’re living.

I like to think that if I’d show up at the

throne of mercy and grace one day in a

Christ-garment that was well-worn

because I’d truly engaged life fully and actively,

Best practices. That’s a phrase we all encounter from time to time in a seminar or an article that catches our interest. Sometimes

the recommendations seem ill-suited or unattainable for our real-world situations with their limitations. And what makes them the best anyway? Maybe a best practice is something that has enough tangible value to cause us to shake up our usual ways of doing things. I am going to try out with you the theory that using some time in the early part of summer to review the assembly’s repertoire and make adjustments would be one of those best practices that is definitely worth the effort. Before the recent year is too far in your rearview mirror, look through the weekly lists of assembly music, and ask yourself some questions about what you were really happy with and what was disappointing. You might find looking back a full year is too daunting, so next year you might determine to undertake

this review after each season. You might realize that you’d like more input. Maybe some way for others in the music ministry to keep notes along the way would help. Cantors, for example, often have a very good perspective about how well people sing a given song.

A very good small book that can help raise additional questions is Developing a Workable Repertory for Congregations (wlp 017288) by Steve Janco. For exam-ple, Steve reminds us that Communion processional songs should express the Church’s teaching that Communion has many facets. Do we sing any songs during the Communion procession that embrace the theology of sacrifice or reconciliation?

If you find there is need for a few new songs in your parish repertory, the index-es that appear in the back of your accom-paniment books or One in Faith hymnal are a good place to find suggested songs to fill that need. One in Faith even has an index of “Hymns and Songs for the Church Year” that contains several suggestions for every Sunday and feast. All your WLP

Also, did you know that recently we have provided recordings of all the titles in our worship resources? The record-ing of titles in Seasonal Missalette, Word and Song, and We Celebrate is called WLP Worship Resource Audio Companion (wlp 006430). All the titles in the ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate! accompaniments are also recorded on !Celebremos!/Let Us Cel-ebrate! Spanish and Bilingual Music CD Set (wlp 012571). A separate recording for the One in Faith hymnal repertoire is also available. So, you can listen to any title you are considering, and also ask for ad-vice from others who may find listening the best way to get to know a piece of music.

I hope you will find a review of your assembly repertory to be a satisfying and enjoyable experience. Rejoice in all the good things that are already in place, and look forward to adding some new treasures to your parish’s storehouse of musical prayer.

Summertime, and the Bible Is Waiting

Dear Pastor Al: I see that the parish is going to have

a Vacation Bible School, but I’ve also seen that the Protestant congregation a couple blocks over is also having one. Is Vacation Bible School really something that Catho-lics should be doing?

—What to Do on Summer Vacation?

Dear What to Do:

May I begin by making a c o n f e s s i o n ? I ’ m a n enormous fan of life “hacks” that you find on the internet

or see on TV. Though a lot of them don’t apply to me, some do. I could have looked at a box of spaghetti and an empty two-liter soft drink bottle for years and never have thought of using the neck of the bottle as portion control for spaghetti. But somebody else did, and I’m incredibly grateful!

My point in starting out with that confession is to say that when we see that somebody else has figured out how to do something well, there’s nothing wrong with us adopting it for ourselves, even perhaps making some small changes in it for our own circumstances.

Though both of our congregations are offering VBS, you may notice that the Protestant program is focusing on the stories from the book of Genesis. Our own program is more Roman Catholic in focus, since we will be learning about saints. There still will be plenty of Bible in our program, but it will come from a broader range of biblical books. Our children will learn about the various meanings the word “saint” has in scripture and in our tradition, and we will address topics such as Jesus’ resurrection and eternal life.

We have a bit more time and leeway during the summer to teach through ac-tivities, games, crafts, and the “classroom”

isn’t always indoors. Some of the sessions are held in the church, and of course we also gather there for prayer times. Some-times we play indoors and pray outdoors. The variety really keeps our young Chris-tians engaged.

Our parish teachers and catechists take a well-deserved summer break, so we ask parents who are able to find some free time during the summer to volunteer to assist some of our religious ed folks. An-other confession: Sometimes the parents end up learning something about their faith as well! A few of our parish retirees who are daily Mass-goers also volunteer to do things like set up for refreshment breaks and make sure there’s enough yarn or popsicle sticks—or whatever we need—for craft time. I’d invite you to look at your own summer schedule and see if you might have time to volunteer. Our volunteers always tell me that they end up having more fun than they thought they would, and many have said they’ve also grown in their own faith.

One last confession: I do keep an eye on what the neighboring congregation is doing for VBS. Their pastor has confessed to me that she does the same with our parish! When it comes to handing on the faith to future generations, I don’t think we’re helped all that much by taking an “us vs. them” approach. We all have to grow and learn throughout our lives, and there’s no reason not to do so by learning from—and with—others.

God bless you and God love you.—Pastor Al

The verbs in the above paragraph describe the overall nature of what Catholics are doing and hoping for in the Church of the South- west. These action words seem to be the guiding principles for almost every community. My intent is to communicate a pastoral perception about who’s doing what and how and why the Church is experiencing growth. Weighty perceptions, indeed—but a fairly simple skein of wool to unravel if you live and minister among the People of God in the Southwest.

Rather than raising hopes for a detailed, statistical review of the Church in the U.S. that lies west of the Mississippi River and somewhere south of Canada’s border, let’s begin by considering the sacrament of Baptism. Baptism, you may ask? What does Baptism have to do with the Church of the southwestern U.S.? I’d suggest that Baptism is actually one of the keys to the abundant growth that currently exists in parishes in this area.

First, let’s agree that Baptism takes place in a parish. As Pope St. John Paul II wrote in Christifideles Laici (1988), “. . . in a certain sense, it (the parish) is the Church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters” (#26). Further, “the ecclesial com-munity . . . finds its most immediate and visible expression in the parish.” And Baptism, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church allows, has traditionally been considered as “the door which gives access to the other sacraments” (1213). We can connect the dots. Receiving the sacrament of Baptism, in a parish, opens more than a “sacramental door.” It is part of the why and the way that we know that the Church is growing in the Southwest.

Open Wide the Doors . . . Wider and Wider

by PATRICIA HUGHES

For the Church’s Jubilee Year in 2000, we were told to “open wide the doors to Christ.” This is still a perfect statement for Catholics in the southwestern United States, as we not only open wide our doors to Christ, but we then let him in to shepherd us, to reveal his face, to welcome Christ into our hearts, to live for others, and go forth

in his name. We remember that Christ is the Light, the Way, and the Love who loves us all. (I am indebted here to Joseph Diermeier’s hymn text “Open Wide the Doors to Christ.”)

9V E R A N O / S U M M E R 2018

por PATRICIA HUGHES

Para el Jubileo de la Iglesia en el año 2000, se nos dijo que abriéramos “de par en par las puertas a Cristo”. Esta es aún una declaración perfecta para los católicos en el suroeste de Estados Unidos, porque no solo abrimos ampliamente nuestras puertas a Cristo, sino que le permitimos ser nuestro pastor, revelar su rostro, acoger a Cristo

en nuestro corazón, vivir para el prójimo y salir a anunciar su nombre. Recordamos que Cristo es la Luz, el Camino y el Amor que nos ama a todos. (Estoy en deuda con la letra del himno de Joseph Diermeier “Open Wide the Doors to Christ”.)

Abre las puertas de par en par… más y más abiertas

Los verbos del párrafo de arriba describen la naturaleza completa de lo que los católicos hacen y esperan en la Iglesia del Suroeste. Estas acciones parecen ser los principios rectores para casi toda comunidad. Mi intención es comunicar una percepción pastoral sobre quién está haciendo qué y cómo y por qué la Iglesia está creciendo. Ciertamente, percepciones importantes, pero una madeja de lana bastante sencilla que desenredar si vives y realizas un apostolado o eres ministro del Pueblo de Dios en el Suroeste.

Más que aumentar las esperanzas para un revisión detallada y estadística de la Iglesia en EE. UU. que se ubica al oeste del Río Mississippi y algo al sur de la frontera con Canadá, comencemos considerando el sacramento del Bautismo. Tal vez te preguntes, ¿el Bautismo? ¿Qué tiene que ver el Bautismo con la Iglesia en el suroeste de EE. UU.? Sugiero que el Bautismo es realmente una de las claves del crecimiento abundante que existe actualmente en las parroquias en esta área.

Primero, acordemos que el Bautismo tiene lugar en una parroquia. Como san Juan Pablo II escribió en Christifideles Laici (1988), “. . . (la parroquia) es, en cierto sentido, la misma Iglesia que vive entre las casas de sus hijos y de sus hijas” (26). Asimismo, “La comunión eclesial… encuentra su expresión más visible e inmediata en la parroquia”. Y el Bautismo, como se admite en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, tradicionalmente fue considerado como “la puerta que abre el acceso a los otros sacramentos” (1213). Podemos unir los puntos. Recibir el sacramento del Bautismo en una parroquia abre más que una “puerta sacramental”, es parte del motivo y la manera en que sabemos que la Iglesia está creciendo en el Suroeste.

continued on page 12

While our sensitivity to the fullness of the spiritual life in the Church has be-come wider and more theologically so-phisticated (to include Baptism among the sacraments of initiation), current ex-perience indicates a somewhat less “com-plete” notion. Baptism is the gateway, the first door that is opened, and the one that many families walk through and are counted as “new growth, new life” in the local churches. The People of God come for the sacraments, and with support and abundant catechesis, return week after week for the sacrament of penance, pop-ular devotions, and often, the Eucharistic banquet itself.

Next, we need to report that families are approaching pastors and deacons in parishes particularly for infant Baptism, with the RCIA process as a secondary pathway to faith. This gives rise to the no-tion that younger and younger persons are becoming parish members because of new marriages, families having babies, and single young adults—documented or not—who want access to a faith that is welcoming, for others, and serves as a guiding light in an uncertain secular world. Thanks in large part to the admo-nition of Pope Francis to “smell like the sheep,” it seems that the vision of the parish as “shepherding” has been well-accepted as part of the culture of a par-ish in the Southwest. Those who enter the doors as Catholics seem to be seeking a belief system to which Baptism provides access. And the numbers are growing.

Good News and Bad NewsFirst, the bad news (which could

be worse, so let’s not lose perspective). Fact: In most areas of the Southwest, we can’t build churches fast enough. Many parishes celebrate more than six Mass-es every weekend, depending on how many people the worship space seats, and how many priests are available (and what languages they speak) to serve the

needs of the largely Hispanic populations, as well as those who have moved to the Southwest for reasons such as employ-ment or a lower cost of living As more and more people migrate to the Southwest, the Church has become a multicultural, multi-ethnic place in which people truly find a new way of living together. In the Southwest, as in many places, it may be said that most Catholics live out their vo-cation as members of the Body of Christ in and through the parish. The first and foremost experience of many Catholics is an experience of parish as they come for sacraments.

If the physical worship space is in-hospitable because there’s no place to sit, or if there are so many parishioners that there is no possibility of a personal relationship with the pastor or staff, then people seek out other connections in other faith communities, possibly not Catholic. The notion of “church” is, at its core, about relationships. Overcrowded worship spaces and exhausted homilists are unlikely to nurture relationships and keep people coming back. Most parishes of the Southwest continue somehow to thrive, possibly with the hope of having a more hospitable, welcoming space in the not-so-distant future. The actual new construction of churches and an increase in the number of seminarians for dioceses in the Southwest are signs of hope. This is indeed good news. More good news: Church mergers and closures, due to di-minishing numbers of worshiping Catho-lics, are not part of diocesan vocabularies in the Southwest.

Aunque nuestra sensibilidad a la plenitud de la vida espiritual en la Iglesia se ha ampliado y es más sofisticada en lo teológico (para incluir el Bautismo entre los sacramentos de iniciación), la experien- cia actual indica una noción algo menos “completa”. El Bautismo es la entrada, la primera puerta que se abre, y la que muchas familias atraviesan para ser in-cluidas como “nuevo crecimiento, nueva vida” en las iglesias locales. El Pueblo de Dios acude por los sacramentos, y con el apoyo y la catequesis abundante, regresa semana tras semana por el sacramento de la penitencia, las devociones populares, y a menudo, el banquete de la Eucaristía en sí mismo.

A continuación, tenemos que infor-mar que las familias se acercan a los pá-rrocos y diáconos en las parroquias en particular por el Bautismo de los niños, con el proceso del R.I.C.A. como un cami-no secundario hacia la fe. Esto da lugar a que personas más y más jóvenes se están convirtiendo en miembros de la parroquia debido a nuevos matrimonios, familias que tienen bebés y jóvenes adultos solte-ros con documentos legales para vivir en el país o sin ellos, que desean tener ac-ceso a una fe que sea acogedora para los demás y que sirva como un luz que guía en un mundo secular incierto. Gracias en gran parte al sermón del Papa Francisco de “oler a ovejas”, parece que la visión de la parroquia como “pastoreo” ha sido bien aceptada como parte de la cultura de una parroquia en el Suroeste. Aquellos que entran a las puertas como católicos pare-cen estar buscando un sistema de creen-cias al que el Bautismo les da acceso. Y los números están creciendo.

Buenas y malas noticiasPrimero, la mala noticia (podría ser

peor, entonces no perdamos perspectiva). Dato duro: En la mayoría de las áreas del Suroeste, no podemos construir parro-

quias con mucha rapidez. Muchas pa-rroquias celebran más de seis misas cada fin de semana, dependiendo de cuántas personas estén sentadas, y cuántos sa-cerdotes estén disponibles (y qué idiomas hablen) para atender las necesidades de las poblaciones mayormente hispanas, como así también de los que se fueron al Suroeste por motivos tales como empleo o el costo de vida menor. A medida que la gente migra hacia el Suroeste, la Igle-sia se ha convertido en un lugar multicul-tural, multiétnico en el cual las personas verdaderamente encuentran una nueva manera de convivir juntas. En el Sur-oeste, como en muchos lugares, se puede decir que la mayoría de los católicos vive su vocación como miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo en la parroquia y por medio de ella. La primera y principal experiencia de muchos católicos es una experiencia de parroquia al frecuentar los sacramentos.

Si el lugar físico para rezar es poco hospitalario porque no hay lugar para sentarse, o si hay muchos feligreses que no tienen posibilidad de una relación personal con el párroco o los trabajadores de la parroquia, entonces la gente busca otras conexiones en otras comunidades de fe, posiblemente no católicas. La no-ción de “iglesia” se refiere, en esencia, a las relaciones. Iglesias abarrotadas de gente y homilistas exhaustos probablemente no fomentan las relaciones ni hacen que la gente regrese. La mayoría de las pa-rroquias en el Suroeste de algún modo continúan prosperando, posiblemente con la esperanza de tener un espacio más hospitalario y acogedor en un futuro no tan lejano. La nueva construcción real de parroquias y un aumento en la cantidad de seminaristas para las diócesis en el Suroeste son señales de esperanza. Esto realmente es una buena noticia. Más bue-nas noticias: Las uniones y cierres de pa-rroquias, debido a la cantidad decreciente de católicos practicantes, nos son parte del vocabulario diocesano en el suroeste.

Las muchas moradas de DiosSin una población bien censada, una

encuesta sobre la cantidad de miembros parroquiales, es decir, quienes se regis-traron como familias en la parroquia o “solicitaron sobres para la colecta” (como generaciones anteriores de católicos es-tadounidenses lo hacían diligentemente) es vana. Lo que he visto con mis propios ojos es una abundancia de personas que “continúan quedándose”. Estas personas siguen solicitando a las parroquias el Bautismo, yendo a misa dominical y reci-biendo (frecuentemente) el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. He sido testigo es-pecialmente de la piedad popular de los hispanos, evidenciada por fuertes prác-ticas de devoción. Estas incluyen (entre muchas otras) a Nuestra Señora de Gua-dalupe, a san Juan Diego, la Exposición

and XIII1 . The growth in the number of Catholics shows no signs of slowing down, as evidenced by the number of Masses that continue to be celebrated each weekend and the numbers of churches that still need to be constructed, shaping the way that Catholics need to pray. Additional good news: The growth of the permanent diaconate is following a path of careful discernment, profes-sional formation for ministry, and a strong academic and theological retrieval of the charisms of deacon ordination.

Other factors, of course, contribute to the growth of the Church in the South-west, and problems accompanying this growth are gradually being recognized and addressed, particularly in the train-ing of lay ministers qualified to serve in an abundance of parish roles: music min-isters, catechists, communion ministers,

of U.S. Catholics have dutifully done)— is futile. What I have seen with my own eyes is an abundance of people who “keep on keeping on.” These people con-tinue to ask the parishes for Baptism, attend Sunday Mass, and receive (fre-quently) the sacrament of penance. I have witnessed especially Hispanic popular piety, evidenced by strong devotional practices. These include (among many) Our Lady of Guadalupe, to St. Juan Diego, in Solemn Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, for Las Posadas, to Our Lady of Fatima, to Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos, and to Santo Toribio Romo. Vietnamese Catholics pray to Our Lady of La Vang frequently, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet is univer-sally popular. The visual, physical reen-actment of the Passion and Death of Our Lord on Good Friday engages hundreds of participants throughout the Southwest, usually drawing larger crowds than the prescribed ritual services of Good Friday.

“Domestic” religious practices, large-ly taught and tended by the women of the household, give Hispanic religios-ity its identity. Receiving ashes on Ash Wednesday is functionally elevated to a nearly-obligatory pious practice, as it is many other places in the U.S. It seems that receiving ashes carries the same liturgical weight as attending Mass on that day.

Come for Baptism, Stay for EucharistIn the years between 2000 and 2010,

the Church in the Southwest grew by roughly 4.8 million Catholics, according to the United States Conference of Cath-olic Bishop’s statistics. The numbers of infant Baptisms, adult Confirmations, and welcoming of the unbaptized through the sacraments of initiation are embed-ded in this statistic, spread across the eight states that comprise Regions X

lectors, pastoral associates, RCIA leaders, and coordinators. So, does Christ really make all things new? My experience bears out that a new Church, a renewed Church, is coming into being. What we may lack in uniformity, we continue to find in many kinds of unity. Together we open the doors wide—and still wider—to grow in love and praise of Christ.

Ven para el Bautismo, quédate para la Eucaristía

En los años entre 2000 y 2010 la Iglesia en el Suroeste creció aproximada-mente en 4.8 millones de católicos, según las estadísticas de la Conferencia de Obis-pos Católicos de los Estados Unidos. Las cantidades de bautismos de niños, con-firmaciones de adultos y acogida a los no bautizados por medio de los Sacramentos de Iniciación se incluyen en esta estadísti-ca, esparcida por los ocho estados que abarcan las Regiones X y XIII. El crecimien-to en el número de católicos no muestra señales de una desaceleración, según lo demuestra la cantidad de misas que se siguen celebrando cada fin de semana y las cantidades de parroquias que se necesitan construir, moldeando la manera en que los católicos necesitan rezar. Más buenas noticias: El crecimiento del dia-conado permanente sigue un camino de discernimiento cuidadoso, formación pro-

fesional para los diferentes apostolados y una fuerte recuperación académica y teo-lógica de los carismas de la ordenación al diaconado.

Otros factores, por supuesto, con-tribuyen al crecimiento de la Iglesia en el Suroeste, y los problemas que surgen de este crecimiento gradualmente se reco-nocen y abordan, en particular en la ca-pacitación de ministros laicos que están preparados para servir en muchas fun-ciones parroquiales: directores de música, catequistas, ministros de la Eucaristía, lec-tores, asociados pastorales, instructores del R.I.C.A., y coordinadores. Entonces, ¿hace Cristo todas las cosas nuevas? Mi experiencia me dice que una nueva Igle-sia, una Iglesia renovada, está naciendo. Lo que tal vez nos falte en uniformidad, lo seguimos encontrando en muchos tipos de unidad. Juntos abrimos las puertas de par en par, y más, para crecer en el amor y la alabanza de Cristo.

Bible and Lectionary: Building blocksThe earliest lectionaries were simply

lists of the readings assigned to be read on the various days and feasts of the liturgical year. The lector would use the list to mark the relevant passages in the Bible from which the Scripture would be proclaimed. Only later were the complete texts of the readings (in Latin) included in the Mis-sal, the ritual book used in celebrating Mass. In 1969, the Ordo Lectionum Missae returned to the earlier practice. It simply lists each day of the liturgical year and all other celebrations (saints’ days, commons, ritual Masses, Masses for various needs and intentions, votive Masses, and Masses for the Dead) along with the citations for the assigned readings. The citations are based on the chapter and verse division given in the Neo-Vulgate, a Latin transla-tion of Sacred Scripture prepared in the late twentieth century.

Each country’s episcopal conference then uses this listing to build lectionaries in the languages used in its country. The

first step is matching the chapters and verses in the Neo-Vulgate with the same passages in an approved Bible translation. (It may surprise you to learn that there is no mandated chapter and verse division in the Bible, so exact citations may vary among Bible translations.) The selected passages are called pericopes, from the Greek words means “to cut around,” since the passages are cut away from the sur-rounding text. Selecting the verses to be used may require omitting some verses or parts of verses. These verses may be omit-ted to make a long text a bit shorter or to leave out those problematic passages that demand more explanation than is possible in a homily.

The selected pericopes are then pre-pared for publication. An incipit may be added at the beginning of the text. This brief introductory phrase helps to set the scene: “In those days,” “As Jesus was journeying to Jerusalem,” “Brothers and sisters.” Often, pronouns are replaced by their antecedents when pericopes begin

in the middle of a story. After all, it mat-ters if Jesus is speaking to the apostles or if Peter is speaking to the crowds. “He said to them” just isn’t clear to listeners. Before the Lectionary is ready for publication, each reading needs its standard introduc-tion and conclusion: “A reading from . . . ,” “The word/Gospel of the Lord.” Finally, a titulus is placed at the head of each read-ing. Usually a brief excerpt from the read-ing itself, this title isn’t read, but it gives the reader and homilist a focal point for the reading. Psalm refrains are translated from the Latin and inserted between the selected verses of the psalm. The Gospel acclamations are translated or excerpted from Scripture.

Bible and Lectionary: Some differencesClearly, it takes a good bit of work

to move from a Bible to a lectionary. But what does a Bible have that a lectionary doesn’t—besides a lot more text? A Bible includes chapter and verse numbers to help the reader find specific places in the

by MARY ELIZABETH SPERRY

It never fails. Any time I give a talk in a parish or diocese, someone makes the claim that, if you go to Mass every day for three years, you’ll have heard the entire Bible read. Since the reform of the Lectionary for Mass following the Second Vatican Council, the Church has invited us to feast more richly from the table of God’s Word, but even that more generous feast does not exhaust the rich-

ness of the Word available in the Bible. In fact, the entire lectionary for Sundays, weekdays, and major feasts offers about 70 percent of the New Testament and only about 15 percent of the Old Testament, excluding the Psalms. (For a detailed breakdown, see http://catholic-resources.org/Lectionary/Statis-tics.htm.) Since the Lectionary includes only part of the Bible, what’s the difference?

The Lectionary: What It Is— and Isn’t

15V E R A N O / S U M M E R 2018

The most important difference

between the Bible and the Lectionary

is the context that they provide.

text. These divisions are not original to the text and were added centuries later. As noted above, not all Bible translations follow the same division of chapters and verses. In most cases, the differences are minor. In the case of the psalms, however, the psalm numbers diverge at Psalm 10 and don’t reunite until Psalm 148. That is why psalms are often listed with a second number in parentheses. To make things even more confusing, some translations count a psalm’s title and singing instruc-tions as a verse and some do not, so both chapter and verse numbering is different.

A Catholic Bible translation will in-clude other tools to aid study of the text. Headings may be added to highlight the structure of a book. Cross-references help readers see the unity and relationships in the canon of Scripture. Introductions to each book provide information about key themes, dating, and authorship. Explana-tory notes help to clarify difficult points, provide historical or geographical per-spective, and point out word play in the original text or variants that have arisen in the manuscripts from the original lan-guages. Those additions, though not needed in the liturgy, are invaluable for Bible study and homily preparation.

The most important difference be-tween the Bible and the Lectionary is the context that they provide. The Bible tells complete stories—of the patriarchs, the Exodus, the monarchy, the exile, the life and ministry of Jesus, the growth of the early church. These narratives are accom-panied by the writings of the prophets, the helpful advice of wise teachers, and letters instructing church communities. Each book tells its own story, yet each book relates to the others. They all tell a single story—the story of God’s saving love for the people God has chosen.

The Lectionary offers a different con-text. For some liturgical celebrations (the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter; the ritual Masses; and saints’ days),

the readings are selected to highlight the mysteries being celebrated and the major themes of the season (the coming of Christ, repentance, new life, etc.). The brief readings for each day come together to show how these mysteries are revealed throughout Scripture. For Ordinary Time, the readings are selected according to different principles. For the weekdays, both the first reading and the Gospel are read semi-continuously. We read through a given book in order, though skipping from one section to another in some cas-es. Because many books in the Old Testa-ment are so long, the readings cover the major narratives, reflecting the character of each book (except Obadiah, which nev-er appears). The New Testament letters and Gospels are read more completely. Ordinary Time begins by reading the Gos-pel of Mark, followed by Matthew and then Luke. Stories repeated in all three are sometimes read only in the Markan version. The Gospel of John is read during Lent and Easter.

The second readings and Gospels for Sundays follow a similar principle. We read semi-continuously through several epistles and one Gospel during each of the three years of the Sunday cycle. The first reading, however, is selected using

a different principle. It is chosen to har-monize with the Gospel reading for the day, echoing a specific theme or event. The Psalm offers a reflection on the first reading or echoes language found in the Gospel.

This structure places Scripture in a very different context. The selected read-ings demonstrate both the unity of the canon of Scripture, both Old and New Testament, and the way that God has re-vealed the mysteries of salvation through the Word. We get shorter pericopes that speak to us from different perspectives rather than a single continuous story as in the Bible itself.

Bible and Lectionary: Better togetherBoth contexts are valuable and have

much to teach us. The Lectionary relates the scope of salvation history, introducing the important people, places, and events that shape our story. It demonstrates the unity of Scripture and teaches us to pray with the psalms, which have nurtured the prayer of God’s faithful for more than three thousand years. It calls us to unite our lives to Jesus, the Word made flesh, and to offer ourselves along with him.

The Bible itself invites us to drink more deeply from the well of Scripture, to learn our story in greater detail—both the good and the bad—and to spend time in study and reflection to encounter the liv-ing God revealed in the Word. It calls us to read each book with care, using the aids provided to seek a fuller understanding of the message that God conveys through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and to apply that message to our lives as mis-sionary disciples.

Writing It Down: Growing Up and

Growing into Liturgical Music

AIM: What were your first encounters with the Church and music?

MJ: I have a very distinct and early memory of going to church with my grandmother. I didn’t understand the Mass in Latin, nor the sermon in Polish, but I had a profound sense of the beauty of it all. It’s a very sensate memory of glittery gold, incense, and of course music. I know there was some chant and some polyphony, combined with Polish folk hymns. I thought it was wonderful and I could stay there forever.

AIM: When did this take a more formal shape?

MJ: I was serving at the altar in fourth grade and eventually be-came captain of the altar boys. When I was in sixth grade the sis-ter who taught music took me on as a piano student. I came from a family that couldn’t really afford lessons, so she said I could do chores in the convent. There never were any chores; she did this so that my family’s pride would remain intact. I didn’t use the usu-al piano method books; instead she started me on Bartók’s Mik-rokosmos. So all that polytonality and polyrhythm were “normal” for me—later, when I played Romantic repertoire, it felt strange!

AIM: Did you sing in choirs?

BiOB E Y O N D T H E

MJ: By sixth grade, I had been haunting the adult choir. Right around that time my voice was changing, so I could be alto or baritone, whatever was needed. They sang from the Graduale Ro-manum, but also standard homophonic Mass settings and Gelin-eau psalms. Getting to the choir loft and seeing how it all worked was really good for me.

AIM: When did you start to write music?

MJ: In eighth grade I wrote a Kyrie for the choir. The director said it was “interesting” but that the choir wasn’t ready for it—a gentle way of saying it wasn’t very good.

AIM: Did you continue with music in high school?

MJ: In high school I wrote “classical” music in a dissonant, post-Bartók style, and won the Minnesota young composer’s contest. I went to seminary high school, where we had chant, but it was right around the time of Vatican II. I entered minor seminary as the changes and new stuff arrived. There was still chant and choral music, but I also discovered the folk music revolution and started to write in that style.

AIM: Did you go to college seminary?

Writing It Down: Growing Up and

Growing into Liturgical Music

AIM: How did you get started in music and the church?

JSW: In two ways. I grew up as one of eleven siblings, each very musical. We all made music in church. By the age of nine or ten, I was leading song at the piano, using the Paluch Missalette®. Nobody told me there were accompaniment books in the closet. I learned keyboard improvisation “doing” that noon Mass in the gym each Sunday, all the way through high school.

AIM: Did you have other experiences?

JSW: At eighteen I was hired at a tiny Episcopal church—one with no music budget. They just had lots of old yellow, dog-eared things from the nineteenth century. Out of need, I started to write music, and wrote some service music for them. Five to ten years later I had binders full of music.

AIM: Did you participate in music at school?

JSW: I went to Catholic grade school. We had music class but no choir per se. Because the principal was also the music teacher, sometimes she would ask me to lead the music class whenever she was called away. I was sometimes pulled out of class to play organ for funerals. I later learned that this was part of my fam-ily’s tuition arrangement. From age ten, I sang in the parish’s adult

choir, which was directed by my older brother. The first choir I be-longed to with my peers was my high school a cappella choir.

AIM: You went on to study music?

JSW: Yes. After high school I attended a two-year community col-lege, then continued as a piano performance major at Cal State. But I dropped out, got married, had a family, then went back when our son was ten. Because I had been studying voice pri-vately, I completed my B.A. in voice performance.

AIM: Did you work as a musician?

JSW: I worked as a musician all throughout my school years, mostly in churches. I also taught kids’ piano lessons, and played with my family dance band through the disco era.

AIM: Quite a varied background!

JSW: Yes. But liturgically, I feel deeply enriched by my time in the Episcopal church, with its great hymn tradition, chanted psalm-ody, and sung service music. That little church celebrated a gor-geous Morning Prayer with Eucharist once a month. This led me to a love for Liturgy of the Hours.

MJ: I continued in college at St. Thomas, where I teach now. I spent a lot of time with the speech and theater crowd, and played piano in the pit for shows. At the beginning of my college years I did a re-cording of my music with World Library of Sacred Music. It was called Singing in the Light, but due to financial concerns the company was having, it wasn’t distributed and the songs weren’t published.

AIM: A negative experience to have so early on.

MJ: I reacted badly, and concluded that working with a company is not good. I stockpiled everything myself. Actually, the Franciscan sisters in Rochester, Min-nesota said they’d keep my music, and if anyone wanted to use it, they’d send it out for the cost of photocopying. I did that for ten years, at which time the sisters said they couldn’t do it any more.

AIM: What did you do with the music?

MJ: I sent some to North American Liturgy Resources. “On Eagle’s Wings” was in that group of manuscripts. Along with a lot of other things, of course!

AIM: And then major seminary?

MJ: After college I dropped out of semi-nary for three years and worked in a par-ish as the music and liturgy person. Dur-ing that time I also got a master’s degree in liturgy from Notre Dame, but did go back to finish seminary and be ordained.

AIM: Did you do parish work then?

MJ: For four years I was an associate pas-tor at a great place with a great pastor and staff, followed by some time in Newman ministry. Then the archbishop called me in to see if I was going to be a pastor or something else. I asked if I could further

my liturgical studies. “You’re going to Rome,” he said, and so I did, to study at San Anselmo.

AIM: What did you do on your return?

MJ: I was assigned to teach at the Uni-versity of St. Thomas. I was also a pastor for two years but pretty quickly learned I couldn’t do pastor and professor both full-time. But it is the priestly ministry that is my foundation, my identity. I love writing music, but it’s not foundational. I’m lucky not to be torn, like some other priest- musicians or priest-composers I’ve known.

AIM: What prompts or inspires you to compose?

MJ: What inspired me originally was the English of the liturgy, for which there was no repertoire. The “Englishing” of chant was unsuccessful; the glory of the chant didn’t translate that well. So the new Mass texts were my original impetus. Eventu-ally I moved from that practical mode to doing what is beautiful. I believed there could be congregational song that could have the depth of chant or polyphony. Ever since, I’ve been trying to help com-munities sing their prayer.

AIM: What is the origin of The Michael Jon-cas Psalter?

MJ: I was grateful that WLP took on that project. What I’m trying to do is something that may not get much initial response. Because the psalm refrain texts are so short, most musical settings couldn’t cre-ate a substantial melody for them. The idea I came up with was to have a fairly lengthy melodic line for the congregation, which becomes a mantra for the psalm verses, after the antiphon announces the melody. I made a deliberate decision not to change the Lectionary, no paraphras-ing at all. I’m allowed sometimes to add

the vocative “O” or re-arrange phrases or repeat words. But it’s Lectionary text.

AIM: An ambitious project!

MJ: It’s good to have the discipline of the long-range project to work on, and it has helped develop my sense of the real depth of the biblical psalter. Also, in work-ing with the WLP editors, I came to learn that the refrains also are successful when halved, presented as the shorter type of refrain that assemblies are used to.

AIM: If we were speaking fifty years from now, what liturgical or musical objectives would you hope had been accomplished?

MJ: The musical and non-musical parts of that are separate. I always go back to the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, back to the full, conscious, active participation of the faithful. It’s a privilege of our Baptism that we are allowed to praise the living God in a way that intercedes for the needs of the world. Praise-thanksgiving-inter-cession. To do that as the Body of Christ is a privilege. I’d hope the fullness of that would be accomplished.

AIM: What about the musical part?

MJ: Musically, what I’m really hoping is that we get a sense of the universality of Catholicism within the body of Christians. I’d like to see a real appreciation for and comfort with different styles, different de-nominational origins, other expressions of faith that enrich ours. I’m really looking forward to that!

JANÈT SULLIVAN WHITAKER

AIM: But eventually you went to a full-time Roman Catholic position.

JSW: Yes. A friend brought me a bulletin from a church looking for a pianist for a Sunday night Mass. I went in and failed the sight-reading part of the audition. A month later they called and offered me the job, because nobody else had applied. Eventually, at that same parish, I became the full-time music director.

AIM: And you kept on composing?

JSW: Yes, but since the parish was so much bigger than the Episcopal congre-gation, I started writing bigger liturgical pieces, communion songs and so on. It was like jumping from a brook to the Pa-cific Ocean. Everything had to be bigger-scaled. My song “Here at This Table” was written there.

AIM: Did you write service music, too?

JSW: Oh yes. Working from the Episcopal hymnal limited my need for this, but when I returned to music in the Catholic church, I did much more. I also wrote litanies, and many responsorial psalm settings that are still in use today. I was happily influenced by Gelineau and Benedictine chant.

AIM: Was this when you began to publish?

JSW: Yes, I was published—but also re-jected! By 1999 I had moved to a smaller parish, where I composed and served for nine years. During that time I earned a master’s degree in liturgical studies from the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley.

AIM: Any outside-the-parish activities?

JSW: Workshops, concerts, and several diocesan events. The Oakland Cathedral of Christ the Light was dedicated during

that time, and I was very involved with the dedication, and was honored to write the processional. The whole experience was wonderful. In 2008, I moved on to St. Joan of Arc in San Ramon, California, where I now serve as Director of Music and Liturgy.

AIM: Do you find yourself composing more from need or particular inspirations?

JSW: Most of what I compose is out of need. My volunteer cantor ministry, for example, has a number of untrained singers with limited ranges, so I write for them. I even wrote a setting of our par-ish mission statement. Of course, spe-cial events always come along. The song “Day of Peace” was written in response to the Columbine massacre, which hap-pened when my son was in junior high. The song was in response to the school parents’ fear and anxiety. I’ve written for a restorative justice program—women who re-enter society from prison. My in-terviews with the women inspired some of the texts.

AIM: How did you get connected with WLP?

JSW: I had already submitted a few pieces to WLP, but the connection happened at the L.A. Congress when Trevor Thomson took me over to talk to people at the WLP exhibit. From there, they invited me to visit—and to bring some music. I’ve really come to appreciate the thoughtfulness, care, and respect with which my music has been received.

AIM: What’s on the drawing board?

JSW: As far as composing, I have a back-log of things waiting to be published. That is its own time-consuming process. Serv-ing in parish ministry, September through Christmas, doesn’t allow much time for

composing. I continue to write articles, sometimes stemming from my work as a liturgical and theological “explainer” for my parish. I enjoy providing histori-cal/theological background on the many practices Catholics may not stop to con-sider. For example, as our parish acquires sacred icons, I have been able to explain to children about how icons are “written.” My theological education helps me at my home parish and in my travels.

AIM: What are your future hopes for mu-sic and liturgy in the Church?

JSW: There are two hopes, really, not about music or liturgy in particular, but what the music and liturgy exist within. The first has to do with how the Church sends us bishops. I’d like to go back to how things were done at the time of Igna-tius of Antioch. The bishop was raised up from within the community, from the very people and place where he was known and honored. I think restoring this prac-tice could do the Church a world of good.

AIM: And the other?

JSW: Within the parish I’d like to see a greater balance of male and female in ministry. I wish we had more vocal and musical male role models for our boys and young men. I’d hope for more men to be involved in care for the sick, catechesis, caring for the church environment, and all the lay ecclesial ministries. Think of how inspired our young people would be when they see men and women together, side by side in all the many roles. That’s my biggest dream at the parish level.

AIM: Quite a dream!

JSW: We always have to affirm the best in what makes us different, so we can be our best together.

WORLD LIBR ARY PUBLIC ATIONS OF NOTE

FYiSome Summer Music

Glorify Himby RON RENDEK

Popular contemporary singer-songwriter Lorraine Hess has recorded Glorify Him, her second CD with World Library Publica-

tions. You may remember Lorraine’s first album, As I Pray, released in 2015. The same first-rate studio musicians comple-ment Ed Bolduc’s extraordinary produc-ing and arranging talents and Lorraine’s lead vocals. The final result is this inspira-tional listening EP, which can also aid in learning and performing these liturgically appropriate songs. Look for octavos and lead sheets at wlpmusic.com.

In the liner notes, Lorraine explains that her vision for Glorify Him was to draw the faithful into the foundation of our faith. There we can be ignited by the Holy Spirit to use our individual charisms to build up the Body of Christ by loving God and neighbor. As children of our God and King, we wear a humble crown of disciple-ship. Although the crown is sometimes heavy, it strengthens us to counter the hatred raging in our world today.

The first song on this seven-song disc, “One Lord, One Faith,” was commissioned as the theme song for the 2018 Gulf Coast Faith Formation Conference. Lorraine’s flair for writing accessible, assembly-ready melodies with intuitive vocal parts and harmonies leads me to suspect that it will be the conference’s theme song for years to come.

“Wear the Crown” is a gentle ballad that effectively integrates the traditional text from “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” as part of the refrain.

“By Grace” tells us that by grace, one vow can unite two families as one. A sen-sitive, lyrical cello line adds a layer of rich-ness to this beautifully recorded song. A quote from the Catholic marriage rite fit-tingly brings the piece to a close.

“Altar of Hope/Be Still” is co-written with fellow Louisiana church musician Ja-mie Diliberto. A bluesy guitar intro in this soulful, gospel-inspired song sets up the soloist and backing vocals to offer words of comfort and assurance.

“The Memorare” is Lorraine’s most requested song. Her graceful setting of this beloved fifteenth-century prayer invites us to ask the Blessed Mother for her assistance and grace, especially when we feel troubled in our daily lives. The final refrain modulates up a whole step and cleverly incorporates a vocal descant on the phrase Ave, Maria, gratia plena, Mater Dei.

The energy-driven title track, “Glorify Him by Your Life,” incorporates the dismissal text from The Roman Missal.

Some tunes are paired with more than one text during the days of Easter-Ascension-Pentecost, making this a most practical collection. Includes “O Sons and Daughters,” “I Know That My Redeemer Lives,” “Jesus Christ Is Ris’n Today,” “Christ the Lord Is Ris’n Today,” “All You Who Dwell Below the Skies,” “The Strife Is O’er,” “At the Lamb’s High Feast,” “Good Christians All,” “The Day of Resurrection,” and “Now the Green Blade Rises.”

by KEITH S. KALEMBA

These two additions to WLP’s Psalms without Words series are composed by Bob Moore (Volume 7) and Ed Eicker (Volume 8).

Bob Moore’s volume includes three set-tings. “Flourish–Psalm 33” is a joyful, stately fanfare that is perfect for a prelude or postlude. “Aria–Psalm 9” explores the legato side of the trumpet. “Rondo–Psalm 150” consists of a lyrical melody surrounded by a festive theme.

Ed Eicker’s second offering to this series consists of eight pieces for solo piano. Psalm 27’s joyful theme is varied by several key changes. Psalm 47 is an exuberant, rhythmic prelude reminiscent of Copland’s “Hoedown.” Psalm 63 is a passacaglia—a theme and variations over an ostinato bass. Psalm 66 is in 8/8 meter, but has accents on beats 1, 4, and 7, giving the accompaniment a playful feel. Psalm 91 begins with an expressive minor theme, which briefly changes to major before returning to a pleading tone. Psalm 104’s sparse melody is heightened with tempo changes and fermatas. Psalm 116’s theme is expressive and pleading, while Psalm 146 is set in a swinging gospel style.

Not Just for Weddings Simple Ceremonial Music for Organby ALAN J. HOMMERDING

Organists who are not completely comfortable with the instrument are still called upon to play for a variety of ceremonial occasions, including weddings. Organist and organ teacher Kyle Johnson has provided pragmatic adaptations of some of the core pieces in the ceremonial repertoire. These were “field tested” by students from Kyle’s own organ studio, and are tailored for organists who, in particular, have a still-developing pedal tech-nique. In addition to wedding staples from Wagner, Mendelssohn, Pachelbel, and Clarke, some of the other favorites included are “Air on the G String” (Bach), “Ave Maria” (Schubert), “Panis Angelicus” (Franck), “Rondeau” (Mouret), and “Air” from Water Music (Handel).

Shaker melodyJoseph Brackett, 1797–1882

SAMPLE

TOM STRICKLAND

HAVE YOU HEARD?

W ho hasn’t heard “’Tis the Gift to be Simple”? Also known as “Simple Gifts,” this familiar

song originated in the Shaker religious community. Shakers believed in communal dancing as an important part of worship. The song describes dancing movements—bow, bend, turn—as having a spiritual effect in bringing us to “the valley of love and delight.” If we act properly in life, as in dancing, we will be brought to “the place just right.” The charming tune is as appealing as the words. Both are now believed to have been created by Joseph Brackett (1797–1882) of the Shaker community of Alfred, Maine.

The popularity of “’Tis the Gift to Be Simple” is due in large part to Aaron Copland’s use of the tune in the ballet Appalachian Spring and as one of the Old American Songs in the mid-dle of the twentieth century. Slightly later, Sydney Carter adapted the tune for his song “Lord of the Dance.”

The charm of “’Tis the Gift to Be Simple” led people to want to sing more than the single verse of the original, and various authors cre-ated additional words. World Library Publications has included two ad-ditional verses in our publications for many years. These were perfectly good words, but continuing compli-cations in securing reprint rights led us to ask Deanna Light to create new verses. She has been co-creator of many great songs, including “Come, Emmanuel,” “Gathered as One,” and “Jesus, Hope of the World.”

The original poem does not mention God—nor did it need to, as this was a song to be used by people already at worship. Deanna worked in the same style, incor-porating familiar images like “death’s dark shadow” and “the greatest . . . is love” to enrich her continuation of the original text.

“’Tis the Gift to Be Simple” with the new verses appears in the new We Cel-ebrate Hymnal at #822 and in Word & Song 2018 at #658.

The Prophet John(005933, e05933)

This year we celebrate the Nativity of John the Baptist on Sunday, June 24. “The Prophet John” is a very simple, musically worthy anthem for unison choir with descant that even a small group of singers can present well.

The thought-provoking text by Rich-ard Leach reminds us not to focus on John the Baptist, but to keep our eyes turned toward Jesus as the greatest model of faith-based life. Bob Moore set these lyrics to a sim-ple yet stunning modal melody to be sung by unison choir.

By verse 4, he has added a descant to heighten the anticipation. The key-board accompaniment is skillfully crafted with sparse yet exquisite out-lining of the harmony to support the vocal line.

M arking the Second Sunday of Easter as “Divine Mercy Sunday” began in the year 2000, when Pope John Paul II canonized Maria Faustina Kowalska. St. Faustina was a Polish nun who lived from 1905 to 1938. She had a vision of Christ in which he instructed her to promote the mercy of God. A number of prayers and rituals are associated with this devotion, including a Eucharistic Holy Hour for Divine Mercy Sunday.

More information can be found on the U.S. bishops’ website.Now that we have renewed our baptismal promises at Easter Mass, we also rekindle our commitment to discipleship. The first reading tells us how

we are to live: “Of one heart and mind,” having “everything in common,” and “There was no needy person among them.” What do we have to do in our communities to be anywhere close to fulfilling these words today?

We might take to heart the words of Jesus in the Gospel. When he appeared to the disciples, he said, “Peace be with you.” We need to strive for peace within ourselves, in our homes and neighborhoods, in our churches, in our country, and in our world. That peace is not easily achieved, as people hold diverse world views. A belief or attitude that I feel strongly about and think is obvious feels incorrect to another person. Some have little tolerance for people with differing convictions.

Our texts and rituals need to promote peace. As Catholics we believe the same dogmas, but we might not interpret or act on them in an identical manner. Dogmas don’t change; theology and practice can and do change over time. Be a peace-maker, and peace will spread further than we know.

The verse for the Gospel acclamation today, “Lord Jesus, open the Scriptures to us; make our hearts burn while you speak to us,” reminds me that we should do what we can to help people be Bible-literate. Catholics know more today than in the past, but we have a long way to go.

We can approach scripture study in many possible ways. If we choose to do it by looking at the readings of the day, then we need to make certain that people have access to those readings. There are numerous good resources for finding the readings, as well as easy-to-understand commentaries. People can look at the readings at home alone or as a family unit, or the parish could put together study groups using simple written guides. They could both study the background and meaning of the readings and pray with them. A straightforward lectio divina structure can be used. Imagine the Liturgy of the Word if people had studied those readings before Mass and weren’t hearing them “cold” that day. This kind of session is one way to prepare the people for the liturgy.

Another thing we could do is offer scripture workshops on particular books. The Gospels that correspond to Years A, B, and C could be studied in that year of the cycle. The Acts of the Apostles could be examined during the Easter season. Investigate your resources. Are there any Catholic seminaries or colleges in the area that have scripture instructors? Could you join together with neighboring parishes to offer study sessions? Is the pastor gifted at scripture analysis? Can you find a parishioner who could be a helpful facilitator? Search for and use the good resources out there for self-study or group study.

Jesus is the Lamb of God and the Good Shepherd. Jesus is not literally a lamb, and we have no evidence that he was a shepherd. These are metaphors that we use in order to convey images for what Jesus has said and done. We have to use symbolic language because as we hear in the second reading, we do not know what is to come. “We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” We have

to use a figure of speech because our Trinitarian God is more than we can describe or imagine.Today’s psalm uses the image of the cornerstone. Jesus is the stone rejected by many, but he becomes the cornerstone, the foundation upon

which the Church is built.We use these images (Lamb of God, Good Shepherd, cornerstone, etc.) in prayer and song texts, but have we encouraged people to think about

what these concepts represent? I think people could deepen their understanding of these ideas and other titles for Jesus or biblical metaphors through study and prayer. We could offer catechetical sessions or provide bulletin articles on the meaning of symbolic language and use these images as the examples. We could suggest people use them in their personal prayer: What does the word “cornerstone” mean to me? How is Jesus a cornerstone? What does Jesus as cornerstone mean in my life?

If, outside of Mass time, people are able to study or meditate on words they hear and say in the Mass, those words can become more meaningful. “Lamb of God” isn’t a “pet name” for Jesus. It is a rich title with biblical roots and layers of meaning. People should be given opportunities to deepen comprehension.

5TH SUNDAY OF EASTER • LECTIONARY 53MUSIC SUGGESTIONS

People have many reasons for attending Mass and some have many reasons for skipping Mass on certain weekends. Our primary reason for gathering for Mass is found in today’s psalm refrain, “I will praise you, Lord, in the assembly of your people.” We meet together to give glory to God.

We need to have a personal relationship with God, which occurs through spending time with God in the multitude of ways we call prayer. Individual prayer is necessary and foundational. Listening for the voice of God in our hearts is essential to spiritual growth.

However, we also need the support of the community with whom we hold basic beliefs in common. We come together to worship God, to join our voices into one voice, and to hear what God is saying to us as a church. We are stronger because we are united. We are called to discipleship, to be branches that bear much fruit, but we don’t do this by ourselves. We are not alone in this world. We have brothers and sisters in Christ who will help us on this journey.

What is the fruit that we will bear? The Church names twelve fruits of the Spirit as behaviors that demonstrate that a person is connected to Christ. The fruits are charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, and chastity. At Mass, we are learning how to produce these fruits. We are learning how to take what we are hearing and seeing in ritual language and action into the world. The Sunday experience is not a self-contained event. We bring it with us wherever we go during the week. We are learning to love “not in word or speech but in deed and truth.”

Note: We are now at the time of year when “Ascension Thursday” may be moved to a Sunday. Most dioceses have made this change, but check with your diocese if you are unsure. If the Ascension is moved, read the note in the Lectionary at #56 regarding an option for readings.

The fifty days of Easter can be challenging. We may love parties, but a party that lasts fifty days may be difficult to sustain. Have we tired of the acclamations we’ve been singing at multiple Masses every weekend? Have the flowers been limping along, but we’re not sure they’re going to last until Pentecost? Are we finding it difficult to get ministers because people are starting their summer mode of going away for the weekend?If we thought of these consequences in our planning, we should be fine. I learned my lesson after singing the same short refrain for a sprinkling

rite at three weekend Masses for all of Easter. It may have been a lovely piece of music, but not repeated over and over every Mass every week as the congregation was sprinkled with holy water. I also learned to spread out the flower budget and replenish as needed, changing colors as the weeks went by until Pentecost had mostly red or white flowers. It isn’t easy to anticipate when people will go out of town, but we can make certain that assignments come out far enough in advance that subs can be found. It is important that we know about choir members’ schedules so we can plan which music will work with the musicians we have present.

In this latter part of the Easter season, we are looking at the post-Resurrection church, the Ascension of Christ, and the sending of the Holy Spirit.

Each conference of bishops may move certain holy days to Sundays or remove from them the obligation to attend Mass. There are ten possible holy days. Sundays are not designated “holy days” as there is already an obligation to attend Mass on Sundays. In the United States, we have five or six days of the year (depending on your diocese) that we celebrate as holy days. The Ascension has been moved to a Sunday in most dioceses

of the United States since 1999.The Ascension commemorates more than the event of Jesus being taken up to heaven. The Ascension is integral to the Paschal Mystery because

it displays Jesus’ divinity. He is seated at the right hand of God. The kingdom that will have no end is ruled by the one who conquered sin and death forever. In the ascension and glorification of Christ, we hold the promise of our own glorification and a place in the heavenly kingdom. The divine nature of Christ transforms our human nature.

Today’s Gospel tells us, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.” How is our parish handling evangelization issues? Are we teaching people how to talk about faith with people who are not Catholic? Do we offer anything for people who were baptized Catholic but who were never catechized or never practiced Catholicism? What kind of ecumenical presence do we have in the community? How do we reach out to neighbors, strangers, and guests? How vibrant is our process for initiating new members into the Church (RCIA)? Can people inquiring about joining the Church get their questions answered now, or do they have to wait until next September when the program starts again?

Many parish choirs take a break during the summer with Pentecost being the last Sunday for them to sing. With Pentecost occurring before Memorial Day weekend, it may be an easier year to keep the choir together for robust music as we conclude the Easter season on Pentecost.

Cantor and keyboard can be adequate leaders for the music in the summer, but why not experiment with some other sounds? The organ has multiple opportunities for changing tonalities, but if you use mostly a piano, the addition of a flute, violin, oboe, saxophone, etc. can enhance the music. I sometimes experience a neighboring parish that uses a piano without amplification. Check during a Mass when the church is full of people whether the sound works. Can the piano be heard and lead the congregation’s song? Think about having two cantors who can sing harmony on the psalm. A trio or quartet of singers might also add to the beauty of the music. You don’t have to do the same thing every week. Find out if there are music students home for the summer who might like to serve the parish in this way.

Today is Mother’s Day. Most parishes pray for mothers in the prayer of the faithful or at the time of blessing. Remember diversity when writing these prayers. There will be people who have had children die and those who have wanted children and couldn’t or didn’t have any. There are children who are sick and those that are estranged. Family dynamics are complicated. Be sensitive. If you pray for mothers today, don’t forget to do something similar for fathers on June 17.

Look carefully at the Lectionary, as there are a number of choices for readings for the Vigil Mass and the Mass during the Day. Check with homilists so everyone is on the same page. You don’t want lectors proclaiming a shorter version of a reading and find the homilist was using the unheard verses as a basis for his preaching.Much has been written about the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church and in the world. Think about the many times that the Holy Spirit is

mentioned in prayers and texts for Mass. Reflecting on those references outside of Mass brings greater depth to the words we use there.The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinitarian formulas used in the sign of the cross, greeting, and conclusion of many of the Mass prayers. What does it

mean to pray to God through Christ in the unity of the Holy Spirit? We assert our beliefs about the Holy Spirit in the Creed. The Holy Spirit is called upon in the Eucharistic Prayers to sanctify the bread and wine, to change them into the Body and Blood of Christ. We pray that the Spirit will gather us into one, in unity. How is the Holy Spirit the sanctifier and the unifier?

We also learn from the sequence for today. This ancient song is filled with images of the Holy Spirit that could be taken apart as a phrase-by-phrase source of meditation. Titles for the Spirit—light divine, comforter, refreshment, coolness, solace, healer, forgiver, guide—are all included in this poem. It is quickly sung during the Mass, but the words will mean more if we print the text in the bulletin for people to use in their daily prayer.

THE MOST HOLY TRINITY • LECTIONARY 165

27 M AY 2018

ESPAÑOL/BILINGÜE (*Bilingüe) E=Entrada/O=Ofertorio/C=Comunión/S=Salida

One of the options for the greeting at Mass, based in the letters of St. Paul, wishes us the grace of Christ, God’s love, and the unity of the Holy Spirit. We believe in a Trinitarian God, and refer to the Trinity frequently in the liturgy.

How do we define the Trinity? It is a difficult concept to understand, yet it is essential to our faith. I don’t think the average Catholic can easily explain what we believe about the Trinity—three persons in one God. As a high school teacher, I used water as a way to talk about the Trinity. Solid, liquid, or gas—ice, water, or steam—it is all the same molecules. The image limps compared to the depth of the real thing.

Do the words of the Nicene Creed help? We hear ancient titles for Jesus, the Son eternally begotten and not created, including the familiar “Light from light.” We know he is completely one with the Father, and the Holy Spirit proceeds from them both. Is it better to think about the first verse of the Gospel of John, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” ? We hear about the Holy Spirit later in that Gospel along with ideas about what the Spirit will do for us.

We’re trying to fit a complex notion into our logical minds, and words fall short. We won’t find a simple sentence that explains the Trinity. It is a Mystery to ponder until we meet God in the next life. We believe in one God. There are three distinct persons in that one God, but there is still only one God. God cannot be completely defined using human criteria.

COMMENTARY THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST • LECTIONARY 168

V E R A N O / S U M M E R 2018A I M

Looking at the readings for this feast from all three years of the Sunday cycle, we find that they are about the body and the blood, or they are about the body alone, e.g. eating manna in the desert. But this year, Year B, the first and second reading are about blood alone.

I don’t think many people today understand the meaning of blood in the Old Testament. It was part of the culture of offering sacrifices to God. Can you imagine being sprinkled with blood? I see people cringing and wiping off their glasses when they get sprinkled with holy water. In biblical times, a contract was not signed by both sides and then notarized. The blood of an animal was spilled. An animal was cut in two and both parties walked between the parts of the animal. The covenant was, “Let me be killed like this animal if I go back on my word. Let my blood pay the price if I betray you.”

The Letter to the Hebrews talks about Jesus’ blood as “obtaining eternal redemption” for us. The blood sanctifies and cleanses us. There are many references in the Letter to the Hebrews to sacrifice, blood, and the covenant. A good commentary could add to this teaching.

At every Mass, we hear that the Blood of Christ is our new and eternal covenant. We are encouraged to eat and drink the Body and Blood of Christ. Though we believe that we receive the fullness of Christ if we only receive the Body, the Church tells us that a richer, deeper sign of the heavenly banquet is present when we receive Holy Communion under both forms (see Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion under Both Kinds in the Dioceses of the United States of America, #20, #21).

We are beginning the long stretch of Ordinary Time, but this time is not “ordinary” as in commonplace or routine. The word alludes to ordinal numbers. These are the counting Sundays when we are not looking at any specific aspect of the Paschal Mystery as we do during Lent or Easter. The message for the day could be any part of Church teaching.

We might have fewer responsibilities now for a few weeks. The time will pass quickly, and we will accomplish more if we have a plan. What about vacation? What will we have to take care of ahead of time so that we can leave knowing all will be well in our absence? Ask substitutes as far in advance as possible.

In the summer, I try to work to clean up everything about which I’ve said, “I’ll get around to that sometime.” Going through files and piles of magazines and articles, straightening and purging the environment room(s), cleaning the sacristy closets and drawers, and generally finding a place for everything and then putting everything in its place. Pray to be blessed with a couple of volunteers who love to sort and get rid of unneeded items.

Look at the gathering room, the church, and the music area. Has clutter crept in over the year? How can things be consolidated, stored, or eliminated to bring order into the spaces? What would a newcomer think when entering our church? Do brochures, books, posters, and the like seem randomly spread around any which way? What kind of storage furniture would be helpful for tidying such things as microphone cords or music? Can things not used every Sunday be put away unless needed rather than “stored” in the back of church or the side of the sanctuary?

The image of the sower occurs often in the Gospels, and I think it is one that can be used to describe what we do in ministry. We plant seeds in the people around us. Sometimes we see those seeds sprout and grow, and sometimes we don’t. We have to have faith that something may come of our work, but we don’t really know what kind of effect we may be having on the people around us.We plant seeds in the way we prepare for the parish liturgies. The music, prayers, rituals, rehearsals, environment, and every piece we put together

for the liturgy can speak to people’s hearts. Even more than these things we do, the way we do them and how we come across to people will also influence whether the seeds grow or not.

We want to be genuine, but we need to think about putting on our best selves in our ministries. There will be times when we disagree with the pastor, but if we complain to parishioners, even those we consider friends, we’re asking them to choose sides and we’re creating bad feelings. We may have a problem with a volunteer, but we don’t ask advice from another volunteer. There is a professional boundary that shouldn’t be crossed. If we do cross it, we fuel the gossip-lovers and provoke bad feelings. This situation is exacerbated when a person leaves parish employment and has a few choice words to say to choir members or some liturgical ministers, or a faithful volunteer. These words sow seeds of disharmony and make life difficult for the person’s replacement on staff. Take the high road. If we aren’t sowing seeds of peace and unity, what are we sowing?

When certain feasts occur on a Sunday during Ordinary Time, they may be ranked as being of greater importance, and so they supersede the Ordinary Time Sunday. Today is one of those feasts. If you have questions about these changes, you can look at the Ordo. The Ordo is an important book full of information regarding each day of the liturgical year including readings, background, pastoral norms, and specific

guidance for that day. You can also find the liturgical calendar on the U.S. bishops’ website.John the Baptist is an important figure in the Gospel. He is the one who prepares the way for the coming of the Messiah. It is unusual to celebrate

a saint’s birth. A saint’s feast day is associated with the day the person died, not the day he or she was born. The Nativity of John the Baptist is a solemnity; the death of John the Baptist is celebrated on August 29 as a memorial. “Solemnity” and “memorial” are two of the categories of Catholic feasts. Solemnities are ranked as higher in importance than memorials.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Elizabeth, the mother of John, were related. John the Baptist and Jesus were cousins. They must have known one another long before Jesus went to John to be baptized. We have no stories from those days, of what they did together or what they talked about. What occurred between them so that John would say, “I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals”?

It is said that St. Augustine chose the date for this feast. The birth of Jesus is celebrated at the time of the winter solstice, when light increases. The celebration of the birth of John occurs near the summer solstice, when light decreases, because, as John says, “He must increase; I must decrease.”

All four Gospels contain many healing stories. The two stories today include a woman who was certain she would be healed if she could but touch Jesus’ cloak, and a man who was certain Jesus could heal his daughter if Jesus would lay his hands on her. Jesus took the child by the hand, and she was cured.

We pray for healing all the time. Most likely you have a petition for those who are ill at every Mass. When we know someone is sick, we pray for him or her. When we ourselves are sick, we pray for ourselves and ask for the prayers of others. Those who are ill may receive the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Sometimes the person gets well; sometimes the person dies. Have our prayers been answered or not?

We do not pray so that we can change God’s mind. Prayers of petition open us to being aligned with the mind of God. We want to remind ourselves that God is present in good times and in bad. God is not absent even though it might feel that way.

There are many kinds of healing. A person might not be healed physically, but another kind of healing in mind or spirit or in a relationship may happen. We trust that God hears our prayers and gives us the answers we need even if we don’t get the answers we want.

We pray for many of the same things every week in the prayer of the faithful, including prayers for the sick and the dying; those who are homebound, in care facilities, and hospitals; and those with chronic pain and long-standing diseases. We are in communion with all who suffer, and we need to keep them in private and communal prayers.

In many parishes, planning follows a school year model. Summer becomes a good time to evaluate how the year went. You can use your findings as you prepare for the upcoming year starting in September. It is good to consult parishioners, liturgical ministers, and clergy as you evaluate.

I do not recommend a wide survey unless questions are written very carefully. Many people assess the liturgy by whether they liked something or not. Did it make me feel good? Feelings are not the best gauge for the liturgy. The better question is, “Did the way we celebrated help you to pray, to give glory to God?” Did it seem to you that those around you were able to pray? What worked? What didn’t seem to work?

If you are consulting a liturgy committee or council, spend time first talking about the elements of vibrant liturgy and how to judge them. Can you measure the level of involvement from the people? Are your efforts at welcoming people working? It is too easy to say you like or don’t like the music and the homily. What about the music and homily fosters prayer and participation, meshes with the other elements of the Mass, and deepens people’s understanding of a Christian life? Are the texts comprehensible and succinct without being stilted? Are the processions dignified and sensible? Are vessels and vestments in good condition? Is beauty in sight and sound valued and nurtured? Does the practical work of the fraction rite and distributing vessels to Communion ministers take place in a serviceable, gracious way?

It can be difficult to be objective or to accept negative comments about our ideas and plans. It is good to set ego aside and look at what is best for the community.

Why did Jesus send out the disciples two by two? I think it’s because it’s difficult to stand alone and promote ideas that are uncommon, which is what they were doing. It is easier when there is someone to rely on, someone who will be supportive. The two can help each other when one is discouraged or at a loss for words or unsure about what to do next.

Most people seem to find others in their lives to use as a sounding board, to get advice, and to help prevent loneliness. Should these people be coworkers?

Maybe you like working alone, and don’t want anyone to interfere. Liturgy and music ministers need to work cooperatively with a number of people. A team approach and an agreed-upon method to determine end results when a conflict arises work well for some people. Worship staff have to work with clergy, catechists, youth ministers, pastoral ministers, custodians, and office staff. We don’t need to develop close friendships with everyone, but we do need to be friendly. Do we see ourselves as members of the same team, or do we feel as though people are infringing on our turf? It isn’t easy to put ego aside, but try to ask, “What is best for the community?”

I have found it important to have trusted people outside of work to confide in and go to for advice. I have a small support group of people who have similar jobs. We meet once a month for lunch and discuss problems and solutions together. I have a friend who listens to me when I have to rant about something. She helps me find the humor in difficult situations. I have two friends who have known me for a very long time. They help me figure out my motivations and make suggestions for future actions.

We manage many people in the liturgical and musical ministries. Some are volunteers, but we may also manage professionals. Today’s readings remind us that we need to treat those over whom we have authority with respect and justice. We may think about the shepherds as being high-ranking officials in the Church or the pastor of the parish. They do have charge of the spiritual care of many. But we all need to look at

our management and leadership style, and ask if we are working in the best interest of those we are shepherding.Pastoral leadership means being a servant. Jesus was tired, but he was “moved with pity” for those who followed him, and so he ministered to

them. He sincerely cared for them. It is possible to go overboard taking this advice. If we wear ourselves out, we will not be able to help anyone. We need balance in our lives—family, friends, work, leisure, food, exercise. How do we live in harmony with all of the things that vie for our interest and our time?

What kind of leader do we want to be to parishioners, liturgical ministers, substitute organists, a flute player, an RCIA candidate, and anyone else we supervise or direct? People can sense if they are being cared for or being “put up with.” They know if we are being genuine. Can we reach out, see the individual person, and pay attention to his or her needs, burdens, and joys?

Ministry is presence. It takes time to be with people and listen. We do not “lord” our authority over others. We are not stingy with attentiveness or appreciation. We are protectors and guides. What kind of shepherd do we want to be?

T oday we begin the Bread of Life discourses from Chapter 6 of the Gospel according to John. We will look at sections of this chapter for five weeks, so don’t use up all of your Bread of Life imagery, prayers, and songs the first week.

We have an opportunity to provide catechesis about the Eucharist and about the Mass during these weeks. You will need to know your community to determine what would work during these days of summer. Are there any events already scheduled to which you could add a component about these readings? Would people come to one or more sessions on a morning or evening during the week? Would Sunday after Mass work better? Is it unlikely that people would attend something at this time of year? Would written materials work better? Would they watch a video on your website? Could you do some short e-mail blasts?

Possibilities for topics are numerous. One source for ideas is the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which contains chapters on the Eucharist and on the liturgy. Some subjects are Eucharist as source and summit, other names and images for the Eucharist, the meaning of bread and wine, the Paschal Banquet, and more. If you don’t feel comfortable presenting or writing on any of these areas, who can you get to help?

Explaining the parts of the Eucharistic Prayers could be helpful for people. Examining the texts, including the newer Eucharistic Prayers, can make the prayers more meaningful during Mass. They can be used for lectio divina. Someone reads a section of the prayer out loud. People write down any words or images that are brought to mind. These actions can be repeated with the idea of probing the awareness more deeply. After reflection, people share insights with the larger group.

Sitting at the Kids’ TableJames Wahl

These songs are meant to encourage children to embrace their baptismal identity as children of God, baptized Christians who shine the light of Christ to their families, friends, and all they meet. James utilizes a variety of styles throughout this fun col-lection, and incorporates a children’s choir and child soloists on several tracks. Whether preparing to receive Jesus in the Eucharist for the first or the thousandth time, the message of Jesus is clear: “Let the children come to me” (Matthew 19:14).007903 CD...................................17.00
