From the Editor
Welcome! ¡Bienvenidos! Chào mung! We extend a warm welcome to new subscribers to the Advent/Christmas issue, the first of four issues of Today’s Liturgy 2014.
Although we sing “All is calm, all is bright,” this Advent/Christmas season is also one of beginning, ending, tension, transition, juxta-position, and bridge building. And that, my friends, merely describes the Scriptures, not to mention the chaos of consumerism in our culture. The readings of Advent tell of jour-neys coming and going; light is juxtaposed with the darkness of the season and of our hearts; we are told that the desert will bloom; the lowly will bring down the mighty from their thrones; the blind will see, the deaf will hear, and the mute will sing. Yet John the Baptist is in prison and will be killed. Ten-sion mounts as Christ’s birth is announced to Joseph in a dream; he must flee with the child to Egypt lest the child be killed.
As ministers of the liturgy, we work in the midst of tension and transition. As the Year of Faith ends, we move more fully into the era of New Evangelization. This year, in each issue of Today’s Liturgy we will offer for your consideration an essay on an aspect of the New Evangelization pertinent to your ministry. Robert Feduccia, general manager of OCP’s spiritandsong.com division, is our author of choice. In this issue, Robert invites everyone to revisit the presence of Christ in the liturgy through the lens of Sacrosanctum Concilium. If you think you’ve heard this be-fore, get ready for a surprising perspective.
The transition from Pope Benedict to Pope Francis is settling in, and we are blest that Pope Francis is old enough to remem-ber both pre-Vatican II liturgy and to have lived through the Vatican II years. He is able to build bridges across the span of liturgi-cal differences and, in fact, already has set the tone for his papacy. The next pope will probably not have memories of the pre-con-ciliar Church or the council itself. Fortu-nately, Pope Francis has the wisdom of his predecessor to guide him and since he is not a stranger to the Vatican he is comfortable taking the reins.
At OCP, there is transition and bridge building as well. Randall DeBruyn, whose
musicianship and friendship I am so grate-ful for over the past twenty-five years, will step aside from steering the missal program, wrapping up a stellar career with the 2014 editions of Breaking Bread and Music Issue. I cannot say enough about Randy and his contribution to church music. He is a schol-ar and a gentle man. You will enjoy reading about new music and his touching farewell in “What’s New in the 2014 Breaking Bread and Music Issue” on page 10.
Rick Modlin will take over Randy’s lead-ership of the editorial board that selects mu-sic for OCP’s missals and hymnals. Rick, of course, is a musician par excellence whose compositions, arrangements, editing, and CDs are familiar to many OCP subscribers. Read what he has to say about his hopes and dreams as he picks up the reins for his journey as manager of music development on page 5.
We’ve attempted to level the mountains and valleys of the season by giving special treatment to the Sundays sometimes neglect-ed by the flurry of the Christmas liturgies. Composer Kevin Keil reminds us of the im-portance of celebrating all the Sundays of the Christmas season and gives special attention to those “in-between” Sundays in “Music for the Forgotten Sundays” on pages 12–13.
Note to our new subscribers: Don’t try to take on too much too soon. Begin with Glenn Byer’s Scripture commentary, “Singing and Celebrating God’s Word” (pp. 16–17), then go to the weekly columns and music sugges-tions (pp. 32–72). Then read Paul Covino’s “Ritual Notes” (pp. 28–29) and pass them on to your liturgy folks. Give “Cantor Av-enue” to your cantors (pp. 24–27). Consider gifting your best ministers with their own subscription to Today’s Liturgy.
For faithful subscribers: Thank you. Be sure to let us help you with your liturgy needs: 1-800-LITURGY. Your requests, comments, and opinions shape this quarterly.
In the midst of all the work of the season, I hope you will take time to rest and to look at the season through the eyes of a child. May the peace of Christ dwell in our hearts. Merry Christmas!

The Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the General Roman Calendar states: “Because of its special importance, the celebration of sunday gives way only to solemnities and Feasts of the lord; indeed, the sun-days of advent, lent, and Easter have precedence over all Feasts of the lord and over all solemnities. in fact, solemnities occurring on these sundays are transferred to the following Monday…” (5).
The usccB 2013 liturgical calendar for the dio-ceses of the united states of america explains: “since december 8, 2013, is the second sunday of advent, the
solemnity of the immaculate conception of the Bless-ed Virgin Mary is transferred to Monday, december 9, 2013. The obligation to attend Mass, however, does not transfer. The Optional Memorial of saint juan diego cuauhtlatoatzin, december 9, is omitted this year” (8).
so, yes, we celebrate the immaculate conception on Monday, december 9, and no, it is not a holy day of obli-gation. it remains a solemnity, however, and the patronal feast day for the united states of america. all the faith-ful, therefore, are strongly encouraged to attend Mass on this day in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
since these feasts do not often fall on a sunday (only once every seven or eight years), this is a wonderful op-portunity for people in today’s church to discover them. They have long, fascinating histories and offer powerful, carefully chosen readings, profound prayers, and rich
symbols (e.g., the cross, candles, light). celebrants, lec-tors, and all who prepare liturgies should work togeth-er to help the assembly fully experience the grace and beauty of these unique celebrations. © 2013 Ocp. all rights reserved.
There are a number of interesting feasts that fall on a sunday this year:
Ask the Liturgist
I see that December 8 falls on a Sunday in 2013. If that is the Second Sunday of Advent, what happens to the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception? If it is moved to Monday, is it still a holy day of obligation?
What other changes can we expect in this year’s liturgical calendar?
The Presentation of the Lord feast February 2 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Exaltation of the Holy Cross feast September 14 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica feast November 9 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

TL: You’ve been a member of OCP’s staff since November 12, 1990, and you came with many music skills. Could you share some of your musi-cal background with our readers?
RM: actually, i think i was pretty green when i came to Ocp. i had finished a degree in composition and the-ory, and was playing piano in a jazz club just before moving to portland. i worked through school as a church choir director and department store pianist, but that was about the limit of my experience. Once in portland, i dis-covered that the professional music world is small, in the sense that if you do good work in one place, your name starts getting passed around. so, alongside my work at Ocp, i began teaching music technology at a local com-munity college and got involved in musical theatre and some film and TV work.
TL: In your time at OCP you’ve worn many hats. Please reflect on some of your outstanding musi-cal memories over these past twenty-three years.
RM: My first work for Ocp was as a contract edi-tor, transcribing flute parts from Bob hurd’s Behold the Cross. a couple months later a job opened up as an en-graver, which i landed largely because i knew the Finale software. after that, a long stretch as a music editor. and just before my current position, i oversaw all music ar-ranging needs. it was composer james hansen who first took the chance on my piano playing for his recording Carried by the Ark in the early ’90s, and i’ve been for-tunate to record with a number of artists since, and even did a cd of my own. The most fun i’ve had in the last year was producing Gracia y Amor, a new recording by Eleazar cortés, jaime cortez, and Bob hurd.
TL: A large portion of your new position as OCP’s manager of music development is service. Please explain.
RM: Music development is all about working with our composers to ensure that what we publish and how we publish it works for our customers. it doesn’t do any-one any good, for example, if we publish a song in an
un-singable range or if we use the wrong text for a mu-sical setting of a particular ritual moment. it’s the job of music development to manage our publishing catalog.
TL: What tasks, formerly handled by now-retired Dr. Randall DeBruyn, will be your responsibility?
RM: Randy’s shoes are so big that it is literally tak-ing three or four people to do the job he was doing by himself! There is an editorial board that determines the contents of Music Issue, Breaking Bread, and other mis-sal and hymnal products. i’ll now be organizing those editorial meetings.
TL: Some of our readers probably recognize your name as a composer and an arranger. Could you share a bit about how you approach composing and/or arranging a piece of music.
RM: when composing liturgical music, i always start with a text—usually someone else’s (who is a better lyr-icist than i). it always helps to have something specific to write for, too. Twenty years of being a pastoral musician has definitely changed the way i arrange music. i admit, some of my earliest arrangements are way too compli-cated. Most musicians in parishes out there are dedicat-ed volunteers who didn’t spend years studying music at a conservatory. They deserve something beautiful but need something accessible. Every arrangement i write strives to keep that balance.
TL: What is life like for you in your off hours?
RM: i’m an avid runner and i enjoy cross-country skiing and kayaking. My son and daughter keep me busy with their multitude of activities. and like most musi-cians, many of my off hours are spent doing music: two different parishes; music director for a local theatre com-pany; keyboard for touring Broadway shows that come to town; assisting a film orchestrator friend of mine. and of course there’s always practicing—that never goes away.

SALVATION FOR ALL
TOUGH LOVE
The lord jesus is come to save all humankind, jews and non-jews alike. Today we celebrate the revelation of that great mystery. God’s grace-filled covenant is opened up to all. The “wise men,” and all wise wom-en and men seeing with a child’s eyes, discover the star-marked babe in the arms of his moth-er, Mary. humbly offering their gifts, they receive the Gos-pel, the good news of the lord’s arrival amongst his people. God shows himself to us in jesus and so begins his sav-ing work for each of us. come let us adore him!
The law of christ based on godly love does not sup-plant a law based on justice. it goes further. it demands the living out of what we say in the lord’s prayer: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” isn’t this “hard bargain” really the “tough love” of the holy Trinity? Beginning always with love, God calls, encourages, and strengthens us to share the great mystery of di-vine life. By our actions we express our answer to God’s call.

THE PRESENTATIONOn this day, the fortieth day of christmastide, we
recall the sacrifice given by Mary and joseph in the Temple of jerusalem for the first-born male in their family, jesus. he is recognized by the elders, sime-on and anna, who give thanks for seeing jesus them-selves before they die. simeon tells Mary that jesus is destined to be a sign so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare. after this they went home to nazareth. jesus grew up and God’s favor was with him. what are your secret t h o u g h t s and thanks?

WATER AND SPIRIT last sunday, john baptized jesus with water. This
week john asserts that jesus is “the one who will bap-tize with the holy spirit.” soon we celebrate the ful-fillment of this promise on the fiftieth day of Easter: pentecost. Ordinary Time is the working out of this prom-ise, starting with jesus’ own baptism and each of ours, too.

after a couple years in which substantial changes in Breaking Bread and Music Issue were necessary, it is with some relief that we can offer you the 2014 editions of these books with the more usual number of additions and deletions, comparable to past years. new songs run the range in style from contemporary (“To praise you” – dan schutte, “pastures of the lord” – curtis stephan), to ethnic (“halleluya! we sing your praises” – south afri-can), to traditional (’Tis the Gift to Be simple” – simple gifts). in addition, we have returned a number of songs in response to requests from many of you: “love has come” (Matt Maher), “The God of all Grace” (Ricky Manalo), and “Roll away the stone” (Tom conry). For bilingual communities we have added spanish to Berna-dette Farrell’s “christ, Be Our light.” Because the feast of the presentation of the lord occurs on a sunday in 2014, we have included the “canticle of simeon” (Ran-dall deBruyn) to use with other music appropriate for this feast already in the missals.
in accord with the Vatican’s recent ruling prohibiting the use of christological tropes or other adaptations to the text of the agnus dei (lamb of God), we have revised several instances of this in Masses where they had pre-viously been used. The Masses affected by this change are Mass of Christ the Savior (dan schutte) and Mass of Glory (Bob hurd), mainly in their accompaniments, plus Kevin Keil’s “advent lamb of God.” dan schutte’s “lamb of God litany” from Mass of God’s Promise was unable to be retained in Breaking Bread and Music Issue. Furthermore, we have separated the two components of Tom Kendzia’s “lamb of God/Taste and see,” placing the “lamb of God” portion in the appropriate service Music section. This change makes clearer the liturgical
functions of each, so that when playing “Taste and see” after the “lamb of God” no accompaniment is played connecting the two, in accord with the rubrics in GiRM #32. a footnote appears with each component directing the user to each portion, noting that they can be played in tandem.
with the release of Choral Praise, Third Edition (cp3), all references to songs, psalms, and service mu-sic in 2014 Breaking Bread and Music Issue that have a choral setting in cp3 are so marked in the upper left-hand corner of the song. This useful resource for church choirs and cantors contains over 575 of the most-used titles in the missal program and is available for purchase separately at Ocp. it remains the best and most econom-ical way to provide choirs and cantors with the choral arrangements they need for most of the music used throughout the year.
after many years of serving as editor of Breaking Bread and Music Issue as well as Ocp’s other En-glish-language missals and hymnals, i will be leaving Ocp and entering into retirement in june 2013. it is with a full heart and a deep sense of gratitude to all of you, and to Ocp, that i do this. My career here at Ocp has spanned an eventful thirty-two years and has been very rewarding in many ways, but it is now time for me to follow other musical pursuits, as well as give more time to my family. i leave the supervision of the music selec-tion for Ocp’s English-language missals and hymnals in good hands, as Rick Modlin will be serving in this ca-pacity, beginning with the 2015 missals. his many years of experience will provide a seamless continuity for the delivery of the best liturgical music possible for Ocp’s missal and hymnal programs.

Sundays of the Christmas Season 2013–14Every year in catholic churches throughout
the world, overworked and underpaid choir di-rectors work themselves and their choirs to the bone preparing the perfect christmas musical experience for their parishes. and it’s no sur-prise that they work so hard. The musical bar has been raised very high by the secular christ-mas culture. in the months leading up to the nativity of the lord we are all bombarded by thousands of finely polished recordings of sea-sonal favorites at the malls, on the streets, and even in the restrooms of your favorite fast food restaurant. we see perfect performances of car-ols on the TV and in the concert halls. how can the typical parish choir ever hope to compete with that? in fact, so much effort is put into the music for christmas Eve, Midnight Mass, and the various Masses on christmas day, that the other sundays of the christmas season and Or-dinary Time that follow it are often given very little attention. in this article, i hope to share some strategies and repertoire suggestions that can help you make the “forgotten sundays” both beautiful and musically rich celebrations.
Christmas Is a Seasonparagraphs 32 and 33 of the Universal Norms
on the Liturgical Year and the General Roman Calendar tell us that, “after the annual celebra-tion of the paschal Mystery, the church has no more ancient custom than celebrating the me-morial of the nativity of the lord and of his first manifestations, and this takes place in christmas Time. christmas Time runs from … the nativity of the lord up to and including the sunday after Epiphany” (The Baptism of the lord).
since we are dealing with a season, the first consideration is how to musically connect the various sundays. here are some ideas.
use the same Gloria or Mass setting during the entire season. paul Gibson’s “a christmas
Gloria” (BB 102 TM 84, ocp.org/30106749) uses the familiar tune from “angels we have heard on high” as a refrain that everyone can immediately sing. when you are ready to take the next step, paul has added eucharistic accla-mations and a lamb of God based on familiar christmas melodies to his Gloria to create A Christmas Mass (ocp.org/30104334).
The “christmas season Gospel acclama-tion” by Barbara Bridge (BB 91 TM 73, ocp.org/20721) will also tie the season together.
you might try using one communion hymn during the entire christmas season. jeffrey honoré’s arrangement of “Rise up, shepherd and Follow,” with its ten verses that explore the entire paschal mystery, is perfect for this (BB 87 TM 69, ocp.org/compositions/66276).
One caveat: although it’s laudable to mu-sically connect the entire christmas season, i would avoid using all these songs each week. it might get tiresome. pick one or two to bring your liturgies together.
when preparing your program and liturgy for the Mass during the night, give attention to cho-ral selections that can be repurposed during the rest of the season. scott soper’s “child of the poor/what child is This” (BB 106–107 TM 88–89, ocp.org/9886) can be used for a concert and then brought back on the feast of the holy Fam-ily of jesus, Mary, and joseph. My own “star of wonder” (ocp.org/20305) and “Follow the light” (ocp.org/30108163) by Gael Berberick and myself are suited for both a christmas con-cert and as choral anthems on the solemnity of the Epiphany of the lord. consider using Rich-ard proulx’s saB arrangement of “joy to the world” (ocp.org/9569) as the final hymn at both the nativity Masses and on the feast of the Bap-tism of the lord. at first it might seem strange singing this carol in january while the stores are putting up their Valentine’s decorations, but if you look carefully at the words you will see

psalm 98, which makes no mention of a newborn King but rather cele-brates the coming of the kingdom of God. what a perfect way to conclude the season of christmas Time!
and now for one of my pet peeves: if you are singing “we Three Kings,” “The First noel,” or “what child is This” as an assembly hymn on the feast of the Epiphany of the lord, be sure to sing all the verses. “we Three Kings” recalls christ’s birth, death, and res-urrection, but only if you sing all five verses. if you skip verse five, there’s no resurrection. Major faux pas!
The six verses of “The First noel” tell the story of the visit of the Magi, and they should all be used. if sing-ing six verses of a hymn is too much for your assembly, how about sing-ing the first three verses as your en-trance chant, and then the last three verses at the end of Mass? just don’t call it “The First and last noel.”
and finally, it’s not until the third verse of “what child is This” that incense, gold, and myrrh are men-tioned. we should “haste, haste to bring him laud,” but not “haste, haste” to finish the carol.
Sundays of Ordinary Time up to Lent 2014
Ordinary Time is that period of thirty-three or thirty-four weeks in which no particular aspect of the mystery of christ is celebrated, but rather the mystery of christ is hon-ored in its fullness, especially on sundays (Universal Norms 43).
For the last couple of years it seemed that we had just finished christmas Time and suddenly there was ash wednesday rearing its cross-smeared forehead for all to see. The intervening three or four sundays of Ordinary Time just seemed to disap-pear. Thanks be to God that this year we actually have seven sundays of Or-dinary Time to celebrate before lent begins, and one of those is the feast
of the presentation of the lord. let’s not let this opportunity go to waste by only keeping our eyes on lent.
My first suggestion is that we use these weeks to learn that new Mass setting, with all the bells and whistles, that we want to use on Easter sunday. it’s never a good idea to introduce a new Mass setting during holy week. we want people to participate easily during those most holy days, but a new Mass, especially a big, splashy one, can change the assembly from participant to audience. let’s start us-ing that new Mass during these weeks before lent. save the choral harmo-nies and fancy instrumentation for Easter, but learn the tunes now.
Since we are dealing with
a season, the first consideration is how to musically
connect the various Sundays.
For a big “high church” sound check out Randall deBruyn’s Mass of the Resurrection (ocp.org/30114756), Bernard Kirkpat-rick’s Mass of Christ the Redeem-er (ocp.org/30105536), or my own Mass of Saint Frances Cabrini (ocp.org/30107443 or 30106444).
The second, Third, and Fifth sun-days in Ordinary Time, as well as the feast of the presentation of the lord, all carry the theme of light. introduc-ing a new “light” hymn during these weeks will allow you to bring it back at the Easter Vigil. One of my fa-vorites is “christ, Be Our light” by Bernadette Farrell (BB/Mi 604). did
you know that she has a version es-pecially for the Easter Vigil (BB 157, ocp.org/11502)? if your assembly has never sung this powerful song, these weeks are the perfect time to learn it.
Other hymns of light and dark-ness are “Out of darkness” by Tom Kendzia (BB 158, ocp.org/10927), “holy darkness” by dan schutte (BB/Mi 458, ocp.org/9906), “we are the light” by jesse Manibu-san (ocp.org/30104335), and “light of the world” by Gerard chiusano (ocp.org/11078).
since the three remaining sun-days in Ordinary Time have no sin-gle overarching theme, we can use this time to add some new songs to our parish repertoire.
if you would like to learn a new communion hymn, please check out “lord, by your cross and Resurrec-tion” by john Foley (BB/Mi 328), “ang Katawan ni Kristo” by Ricky Manalo (BB/Mi 358), “ubi caritas” by Bob hurd (BB/Mi 340), or “One love Released” by Bob Frenzel and myself (BB/Mi 344). They are all found in Breaking Bread/Music Is-sue. The added benefit of learning one of these hymns is that you can use it on holy Thursday or Easter Vigil/sunday.
Other general songs from Break-ing Bread/Music Issue to consider during these weeks include “O God, you search Me” by Bernadette Far-rell (BB/Mi 438), “Go Make a dif-ference” by steve angrisano (BB/Mi 504), and “love One another” by Bob dufford (BB/Mi 484).
as you can see, this time between the nativity of jesus and ash wednes-day can be a time of great enrichment for your music ministry and your par-ish. plan ahead now and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish.

Theologians and the teaching of the church say there are two sides to the sacramental coin. The first side is best expressed in the latin ax-iom ex opera operato. it literally means “from the work worked.” it relates to sacramental the-ology because it speaks to the covenant that God has made with us.
God has bound himself to us and, in jesus, he made a promise to be with us until the end of the age. This covenant of his presence has its fulfill-ment in the sacraments of the catholic church. it gets fulfilled when four things are in place: 1) The proper materials of the universal church; 2) The proper, universally used prayer of the church; 3) The proper minister of the sacrament; and 4) The intention of doing what the church does.
when these things are in place, the work actually works. in the Eucharist, for example, the proper material is unleavened wheat bread and natural grape wine. The proper prayer, also known as the proper form, is the words of insti-tution found in the approved eucharistic prayer. The proper minister is the bishop or priest. Finally, the proper intention of do-ing what the church does is to celebrate the eucha-ristic sacrifice of christ. if these are all in place, the work works. it doesn’t matter if the priest is holy or not. it doesn’t mat-ter if the faithful believe that the ordinary bread and wine have become the sacred body and precious blood of the lord. none of these have bearing on the transformation of the eucharistic elements. God has made a covenant with us that christ will be made present through the proper materials, prayer, minister, and intention. Ex op-era operato—the work, works.
The other side of the sacramental theolo-gy coin is ex opera operantis—the work of the worker. yes, God is faithful to his promise of providing the sacramental presence of his son to us. But the reception of that presence is de-pendent upon the disposition of each individ-ual person. God does not thrust himself upon his people. instead, he speaks to the church and simply says, “Follow me.” Our hearts must be disposed to hear this invitation and respond with our “yes.” The presence of christ is found within the eucharistic liturgy ex opera operato. however, the full actualization of this presence in our lives is dependent upon the disposition of the worker. The ex opera operato presence of christ will be transformative inasmuch as it is received ex opera operantis.
To this point, we have only described the presence of christ in the eucharistic elements. But Sacrosanctum Concilium describes the presence of christ in four ways. let’s now look at the remaining three presences described there
through a new lens.The dogmatic consti-
tution first mentions that the presence of christ is found within his minis-ter. This is in reference to the bishop or priest. we know that holy orders is
one of the seven sacraments. a man is christ’s priest because sacred chrism (the proper mate-rial) was used to anoint him while the prayer of ordination (the proper form) was prayed by the bishop (the proper minister), with the intention of consecrating the man for the priesthood of jesus christ. Therefore, the presence of christ in his minister the priest is there through an ex opera operato act—work, worked.

second it addresses the eucharis-tic species and, in the third case, it makes mention of the word. “he is present in his word, since it is he himself who speaks when the holy scriptures are read in the church” (7). it seems that the word, in addi-tion to the eucharistic species and christ’s minister the priest, is pres-ent ex opera operato. it is not depen-dent upon the lector. when the word is proclaimed, it is not the reader who is speaking. no, the word, je-sus the christ himself, is speaking. scripture reads: “so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which i pur-pose, and succeed in the thing for which i sent it” (isaiah 55:11). it is dependent neither upon the disposi-tion of the lector nor upon the dispo-sition of the hearers.
The final presence of christ seems to be the most misunderstood. when most knowledgeable people are asked to state the four presences of christ in the liturgy, they will quickly say, “the priest, the eucharistic elements, the word, and the people.” This is easily spoken, easily memorized, and easily gotten wrong. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy does not say that the presence of christ is in “the people.” Of course, christ is present within the gathered faithful by virtue of their baptism. The entrance into the relationship of the Trinity, the re-moval of Original sin, the indelible marking of the soul as a christian, and the indwelling of the holy spir-it are all effects of the sacrament of baptism. These effects happen to the christian ex opera operato, for when peter baptizes, jesus baptizes, and when judas baptizes, jesus baptizes. it would have been very logical and
indeed appropriate for the sacred con-stitution to say that christ is present in the people. But it didn’t.
This is what the document says, in the original latin: “praesens adest denique dum supplicat et psallit Ec-clesia…” (7). it says that christ is present (praesens) when the church (Ecclesia), not simply gathers, but when it prays (supplicat) and when it sings (psallit). it seems to indi-cate that one of the four ways that christ is present in the liturgy is dependent upon the disposition of the faithful. are they praying? are they singing? looking at the words in the document, it appears there is a presence of christ that is ex opera operantis. if the gathered people are not engaged in prayer and in song, then the liturgy is being denied one of the presences of christ called for by Sacrosanctum Concilium.
There are real implications for our ministry that flow from the words of the document and they look ahead to another famous paragraph (14): “Mother church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active par-ticipation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very na-ture of the liturgy.” There are some writers who seem to indicate that the people need not sing. in fact, the music need not be congregational in nature. it can be unapproachable, because the beauty of the music can be such that the hearts of the faith-ful can be lifted up in prayer. in this way, the people attending the liturgy can be caught up into fully conscious and active participation. This is true. it is also true, however, that the docu-ment does not define fully conscious and active participation as a matter of heart alone. it says that christ is
made present when the church prays and sings. prayerful song is neces-sary for a presence of christ.
To further the point, the Gener-al Instruction on the Roman Missal says this about song. “The main place should be given, all things being equal, to Gregorian chant, as being proper to the Roman liturgy. Other kinds of sacred music, in particular polyphony, are in no way excluded, provided that they correspond to the spirit of the liturgical action and that they foster the participation of all the faithful” (41). so whether it is chant or another form of sacred music, the document requires that music foster the participation of all the faithful. Of course, we do not sing for the sake of singing. it is prayerful sing-ing that corresponds to the spirit of the liturgical action. singing by the congregation is not an afterthought. it is vital to worship.
Those involved in liturgical min-istry have a weighty task. Thanks be to God for his covenant with us. The real presence of christ will be at our eucharistic liturgies in his minister the priest, in the word, and especially in the eucharistic species. Our ministry rests ex opera operantis. Our ministry has a two-fold task. First, we minister to people by aiding their disposition. we can help them cooperate with the presence of christ that will be there with or without us. Through our mu-sic, art, environment, and an effec-tive preparation of all ministers we can help move people’s hearts to say “yes” to christ’s presence. second, when we aid people in their prayer and song, their prayer and song will manifest a presence of christ called for by the church.

Three years ago, when we began this jour-ney into the scriptures (this series of articles), we looked at the word of justice, of Election, of peace, and of light. i felt more than a bit of concern, then, when it came time to look at these same readings again. what else could there be? it is a testament to the depth of wisdom in the scriptures that we can find a whole new set of words. so let us begin … again.
The Word of Learning, the Word of Knowledge
as we move through advent, christmas, and Ordinary Time, we will see all kinds of people learning something, teaching something, or ap-proaching some new knowledge. whether it is adam and Eve and the serpent with the Tree of Knowledge, or Mary at the annunciation, it seems that the people of God are continually learning new things. This year, the feast of the presentation of the lord takes the place of the Fourth sunday in Ordinary Time, so we hear of the wisdom of anna and simeon, but also we hear that magnificent phrase from luke 2, that jesus went home to nazareth and “grew and be-came strong, filled with wisdom.”
at times the scripture passages themselves are the lessons, like the first reading on january 1, where we learn how to bless each other. i re-call the day pope Francis was elected and taught us about blessings by asking us to first pray a blessing for him. But there are other lessons we can learn if we pay attention. God teaches ev-eryone at the Baptism of the lord, but it is the simple, probably illiterate, shepherds who teach Mary about the message of the angels on christ-mas night. so we learn that teachers can be the
great or those whom society tends to overlook. paul, to no one’s surprise, speaks a great deal about teaching, but he also emphasizes this point when he speaks about his lack of knowledge, of how he is a fool for christ (6th–7th sundays in Ordinary Time). This is another lesson for those of us who teach and serve.
Beyond the readings, there are feasts for so many wonderful teachers at this time of the year: on december 6 we have saint nicholas, who taught charity, justice, and the value of women in the world; on december 7, saint ambrose, who taught in spoken words and in hymns; de-cember 14 brings us john of the cross; on jan-uary 4, saint Elizabeth ann seton, whose love of education continues to inspire generations of educators; and February 14 has saints cyril and Methodius, the great apostles to the church in the East. as if to drive the point home, catholic schools week comes at the end of january.
as those who prepare the liturgy, this rich fare of learning and knowledge should give us a sense of humility. There is no perfect liturgy on earth and we need to continually delve into our incredibly rich tradition and receive the trea-sures we find there. “’Tis the Gift to Be simple” (BB/Mi 522), we sing, and so it is. as we read and learn, it is our goal to uncover the truth, and so the haunting “christ the lord” by sarah hart and Robert Feduccia (BB/Mi 608) should be a welcome addition to our advent prayer.
The Word of Meetingi am surprised to have never noticed how of-
ten the word of God is communicated by means of a gathering or meeting. it can be two peo-ple, as in the case of Mary and Elizabeth (the

second option for the Gospel on the feast of Our lady of Guadalupe), or it can be in a gathering of nations (as promised in the first of our ad-vent readings), or it can be found in the coming of shebah and the rest at Epiphany. Even paul, though not physically present, meets his people through the greeting we hear him send at the start of Ordinary Time.
while there is value in prayer on our own, clearly God is telling us that in making the effort to meet each other we will find something more than the sum of the people present. God convokes meetings; he calls us to be present to each other in order to reveal deep truths. we know that this is true in the liturgy, especially in the celebration of the sacraments. But perhaps we need to be more aware that God calls us to pastoral councils, to the classroom, to the choir room. with a little effort, we can drench these moments of our lives with the spirit of prayer. i recall once shouting from the choir loft at a rehearsal for a major liturgy, in or-der to get some small thing done. i had forgotten that even outside of the celebration, i can be aware of God in all those with whom i meet.
Musically, “advent litany and Gathering Rite” by Michael pren-dergast and Rick Modlin (BB 56, TM 38) is a wonderful tool for help-ing people become aware of the im-portance of our meeting together. it brings together traditional tunes and contemporary images. The oth-er advantage to this piece is that it includes music for the entire begin-ning of the liturgy, giving a sense of unity to what can seem to be a dis-jointed series of ritual moments.
The Presentation of the LordThe celebration of the presenta-
tion of the lord on a sunday really brings the concepts of knowledge and learning and the concept of gath-ering into focus. it is also a way to access elements of our catholic cul-ture that have waned over the years. so let us take advantage of this time and celebrate the full liturgical rite, with the procession and the blessing of candles.
This is also an opportunity to send the liturgy home, by either having candles to distribute to the faithful or encouraging them to bring can-dles from home to be blessed. This simple act can really help establish the link between the Eucharist and the dining room table, a deep pas-toral truth that can give meaning to every family meal. it can also make a theological point and link the oth-er way, and remind us that the Mass has the lord’s supper as one of its important sources.
adding to our repertoire of com-munion hymns for this occasion seems like a natural step. curtis stephan’s new take on some very traditional imagery of the Eucharist in “Miracle of Grace” (BB/Mi 365) is a good choice. it has echoes of words from saint Thomas aquinas’ “pange lingua” (“our senses fail”), scripture (putting out “to the deep,” Duc in altem, from luke 5:4), and from the liturgy itself (“mystery of faith”). and all of this is done with a contemporary feel.
celebrating the presentation on a sunday is a wonderful opportu-nity to make our church buildings the light for our community. while
it may seem mundane and a bit ob-vious, for those responsible for the care of our church buildings, this is the time to get at those electrical projects we have been putting off. The new Evangelization means that we have to constantly reach out—and we can’t do that if our church-es are without exterior lighting and frankly at times a little bit scary. so too for the light within. if it hasn’t been done, get a professional in to measure the strength of the lighting, especially where the people sit. i have been in many churches where the lights simply are not adequate. as we get a little older, we have to be sure there is sufficient light to join fully in the celebration, especially in the singing.
One final thought. at this cele-bration, we should (re)introduce the “nunc dimittis,” the song of sime-on. it is not long, but it is a song that everyone should have in their hearts: “now, Master, you may let your ser-vant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, light for rev-elation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people israel” (luke 2:29–32).
This is something we can all hope for, when our time is come. if we have sung this during our lives, it will be a wonderful comfort to us at the end.
so it seems we can put out into these familiar waters of the advent readings and find so much more to hear and to embrace. i hope there will be more to follow.

how do you approach a new song? if you are a director, an instrumentalist, a cantor, or a cho-rister, then you are regularly called upon to learn and teach new music. where do you begin? There is no single right way, and there are many considerations involved. But having a strategy is useful. in this first of a two-part article, we will look at some ideas that may help.
let’s assume that the song has already been chosen. choosing appropriate music is a whole other topic, so our starting place will be once that has been done.
What type of score does each musician need?
This is mostly a question for the music di-rector. what do you provide to your ensemble members? Most publishers will release a song in different editions. This can be a somewhat misleading term, because it is used in different ways. when a new edition of a hymnal is creat-ed, for example, it has different content from the previous edition. But for a song, each different edition contains a subset of the full arrangement for that song. Organ editions, guitar/vocal edi-tions, choral editions, full score editions—all are different ways of looking at the same song, and are designed to give each musician what they need most.
Two considerations: 1) who is in the ensemble? For example,
does the keyboard player or guitarist sing a cho-ral part? Keyboard/vocal editions and guitar/vo-cal editions sometimes show only the melody, so the instrumentalist may need two editions, including one that has the choral parts. Even if
a keyboard player doesn’t sing, parts may need to be played during rehearsal. similarly, all cho-risters should have their own copy of the music. if you are a director, you want your ensemble to write notes into their scores (in pencil!). and as an ensemble member, you need to write in your scores; there is nothing so frustrating to a direc-tor than to be constantly repeating instructions.
2) confirm that all editions are compatible. is the choral edition in the same key as the guitar/vocal edition? publishers often release the same song in different ways (for good reasons, not to make your life difficult). For example, the octa-vo form may have a key change, but the same song in a hymnal might be abridged, with the key change removed. when you order music, ask your sales person or customer service rep-resentative to confirm that all editions will work together. (if the guitar/vocal, choral, flute, etc. all come from the same resource—say, from an octavo—then they should all be compatible.)Roadmap—getting from the beginning to the end of the song
Following the format of a song can some-times be like a game of Monopoly. it’s quite common to jump from one place in a song to much later (or much earlier) in the song, skip-ping over many measures. so, first you need to know the basic musical terms that are used to identify these jumps.
Major song sections are often labeled—“Re-frain,” “Verses,” etc.—and some directives sim-ply say to jump immediately to one of them: “to Verse” for example. simple enough, but there are also traditional, italian terms used, often in abbreviation.

D.C. – pronounced dee-see. it stands for da capo—literally, “from the head”—meaning jump to the very beginning of the song.D.S. – dal segno; “from the sign”—jump to the measure marked with the symbol % which is called the segno (“say-nyo”).D.S. al Fine – “from the sign to the end”; after jumping to the %, keep going until you get to the Fine, and end there. note that Fine does not rhyme with “wine,” but is pronounced fee-nay.D.S. al Coda – “from the sign to the tail.” The coda is the closing section of a song, usually marked with the symbol fi. There will also be a place in the music marked “to coda”—it is from that point that you jump immediately to the section marked “coda.”

decide in rehearsal how you will usually do the song. For example: intro, cantor refrain, choral refrain in uni-son, cantor verse 1, refrain in parts, choral verse 3 in unison, refrain, coda.
i say usually because liturgical music is functional music and needs to adapt to the needs of the ritual mo-ment. But start with a plan for the song so that when you need to change it in the moment there is less to commu-nicate to the ensemble.
something to note: instrumentalists trained classical-ly are often unaccustomed to reading music with the big jumps from section to section. you may need to spend a
few extra minutes with any string, woodwind, or brass players talking about how to navigate the roadmap of their parts, until they become comfortable with the dif-ferences in how songs are printed.
in the next article, we will consider some ideas for how guitarists, singers, and other ensemble members can effectively approach a new song.© 2013 Ocp. all rights reserved.

Christ Comes, the Promised Peace of Godby Genevieve Glen, OSB (text) and Rick Modlin (music) OCP Choral Series, octavo 12189Voicing: SATB, descant; Difficulty: Medium
ocp.org/12189
a beautiful melody distinguishes this saTB and organ choral anthem for advent. set to a thought-provoking text by Benedictine sister Genevieve Glen, the piece begins with unison women introducing the first of three verses. The last phrase of the first verse, “then will all strife be stilled,” is shaped through the dynamics that crescendo to a subito piano on the word “strife.” The effect is something of a musical sigh, calm-ing or stilling as the text says.
Verse two is an a capella saTB verse. The choral parts are a bit tricky but certainly attain-able with proper rehearsal. Rehearsing the men alone prior to putting the parts together will help them when learning this verse. here, too, the last phrase of the verse crescendos to a subito piano and quietly ends, this time giving a feeling of longing. The organ interludes between verses and the choral-part writing are lush and some-what Rutter-like.
Verse three introduces a descant that floats like an obbligato instrument. One or two sopra-nos on this part are enough to be effective. The final phrase here, similar to the ones in the previ-ous two verses, is shaped through the dynamics, but this time the phrase continues to crescendo as the text speaks of becoming new. The effect of this subtle text painting is lovely. i would highly recommend this anthem to choral groups of varying ability.

The text of this saTB anthem has an exqui-site depth. a translation of a traditional catalo-nian carol, the text is a poetic foreshadowing of the paschal mystery and makes one think about and interpret its meaning rather than being too obvious and sweet, as is often the case with ad-vent and christmas music.
i have used this elegant anthem late in the advent season, even on the fourth sunday of advent. The choral writing is unpredictable at times, which makes it interesting. The compos-er adds a descant similar to an obbligato instru-ment for eight measures on a simple “ah” to add color but not detract from the text or the choral parts. The piece ends in a calm manner on a uni-son note to the text “pure and tender”; this is beautiful word painting indeed.

Based on the Moravian tune pásli ovce vlasi, this short carol was arranged by Richard hillert for saTB a cappella choir. it is a gen-tle piece that is especially appealing on christ-mas Eve, but it can also be used throughout the christmas season. Each of the short five vers-es begins with a four-bar phrase followed by the refrain-like “hydom, hydom, thidlidom,” a nonsense phrase similar to the text in the

well-known carol “lully lullay.” This charming carol is very acces-sible and appealing to choirs whose forces are limited but that still have a desire for well-crafted material. use this during the carol service be-fore Mass during the night or at the preparation of the gifts at that Mass.
O Magnum Mysterium by Craig KingsburyTrinitas Choral Series, octavo 30107972Voicing: SATB, English horn; Difficulty: Medium/Difficult ocp.org/30107972See music for review, pages 22–23
There are times when i am com-pletely transformed when listening to a recorded piece of music, or better yet, conducting a piece. i had that experience with this setting of “O Magnum Mysterium” for saTB choir and English horn. undoubted-ly, “O Magnum Mysterium” is one of the christmas texts that every choral group should have in their repertoire. craig Kingsbury exqui-sitely captures the mystery of the text through the blending of the voices and the English horn (a double-reed, woodwind instrument in the oboe family; a perfect fifth lower than the oboe). although a transposition of the instrument part is provided for a c instrument (oboe or violin would be lovely), the preferred sound is the richness of the English horn. Begin-ning with a solo statement from the English horn, the choir beautifully enters and introduces the phrase “O Magnum Mysterium,” translated “O great mystery.” This original com-position by Kingsbury offers a qual-ified alternative to the much-loved settings of early composers such as Byrd, Victoria, and palestrina and the more recent gem by Morten lauridsen. just under four minutes in length, Kingsbury’s setting is ser-viceable for inclusion in liturgy and worthy for inclusion in christmas
programs of skilled community chorales, college choirs, and profes-sional choirs. There are moments of sheer transformation—moments that take the listener to the wonder and mystery the animals saw in the new-born lord, lying in the manger.
O Magnum Mysteriumby Christopher Walker OCP Choral Series, octavo 11987Voicing: SATB; Difficulty: Easy/Mediumocp.org/11987
This mysterious setting of “O Magnum Mysterium” is the perfect length for a short anthem after com-munion at the Mass during the night. Each phrase begins very softly and then crescendos and decrescendos at the end of the phrase.
This setting will help your choir learn to shape phrases in a gentle manner. when choirs learn the high point of the phrase and sing into that place, the sound they make will be more musical and far more beautiful. although this setting has a verse, i have done this piece several times singing only the refrain and omitting the verse. The ending in praesepio is harmonically ethereal. Rehearsal of the men’s part on the last phrase may be needed to accurately arrive at the composer’s intent.
Angelus ad Pastores Aitby David Burks Sisters in Song Choral Series, octavo 12194Voicing: SSAA a cappella; Difficulty: Medium; ocp.org/12194
This spirited anthem for ssaa voices is energetic and exciting. it is set entirely in latin; the English translation of the text is “The angel said to the shepherds: i bring you tidings of great joy / For unto you is born this day / The savior of the world. alleluia!”
attention to the dynamics in this piece is important; the crescendos
to the ends of the phrases, when done, make this piece electrifying. The harmony falls on the ear well, and the range is not too demanding, which is wonderful when you’re working with women’s voices that are still growing in technique and ability. Often music for treble voic-es has the altos set too low, but here the composer successfully keeps the second altos above an a and below an F#, giving them the range of a fifth. also, the close harmonies add a pleasant agitation that makes this wonderful setting even more thrill-ing. although this text is the sec-ond antiphon for morning prayer on christmas day, i have used it at the lessons and carols service before the Mass during the night.
There Is No Roseby Andrew Wright Jubilate Deo Choral Series, octavo 20095Voicing: SA; Difficulty: Easy/Medium
ocp.org/20095
This simple choral anthem has a striking text set to a lovely unison melody for women’s voices, and it will grace the liturgies of the christ-mas season. scored for treble voices and keyboard, this gem can be used by choirs of limited numbers or abil-ities. The range of this piece is rela-tively small and the tessitura fairly low, so it affords you the opportunity to work on choral techniques like im-proving intonation and developing a unified, well-supported choral sound.
The composer suggests varying the four verses through dynamics and us-ing a solo voice for one of them. The final refrain continues the two-part writing with a lovely decrescendo to a peaceful ending. “There is no Rose” works well throughout the christmas season when the choir needs a break from large choral anthems.© 2013 Ocp. all rights reserved.

Melanie coddington and
james hansen served the npM
cantor and lector schools as master teachers for many years. co-authors of Cantor Basics,
Revised Edition (ocp.org/11837),
they currently reside in abingdon, Virginia. Melanie is
a regional minis-ter for christian
formation and a staff member of the Office of
catholic Education for the diocese of Richmond. james
is director of the abingdon schola,
singers devoted to medieval
proportional- rhythm chant.
First Sunday of Adventwhen one encounters a collection of any kind
(recipes, poems, jokes, short stories) one might confidently wager that all the items are not of equal significance or value. a few may stand out as shining examples, while others function as undistinguished filler, and the rest vie for a position in the sound and serviceable middle. psalm 122 ranks high among the biblical songs and canticles that compose our psalter. i encour-age you to get acquainted with it.
its superscript (v. 1 in the naB, revised edi-tion) identifies psalm 122 as “a song of ascents,” suggesting its use as accompaniment for a pil-grim’s uphill journey to the city of jerusalem. nestled in a collection of such songs (120–134 in the Book of psalms), psalm 122 stands out as the only one of the set that actually mentions going up. This makes it a fitting response to the first reading from isaiah, which envisions na-tions and peoples drawn together to climb the mountain of the lord.
scholars suggest a date of composition after the return from Babylonian exile, since the text describes jerusalem as a city built (or rebuilt) “in compact unity” (restored on a more modest scale for the remnant of israel). psalm 122, sung by post-exilic pilgrims, invokes the golden age of the united monarchy, and the great temple of solomon as it once stood—the pinnacle of pil-grimage for their ancestors, “the tribes of the lord.” its repeated pleas for peace echo isaiah’s vision: a peace to end all war.
Second Sunday of Adventhere on the avenue, certain ideas recur as we
consider the liturgy from week to week. One in-sight (rather obvious but still worth repeating)
notes that the psalm connects in some way to the first reading. The nature and strength of this connection may vary, but, as a rule, the first reading and the psalm work together toward a common intent.
Today we observe an unmistakable demon-stration of this principle. The isaiah reading and the selection from psalm 72 intertwine as do few other pairings. Both are poetic texts, employing typical hebrew thought-rhyme (parallelism), but the resemblance does not end there. “But he shall judge the poor with justice and decide fairly for the lands afflicted” (isaiah 11:4), and “he shall govern your people with justice and your afflict-ed ones with judgment” (psalm 72:2), say the same thing, merely shifting the point of view. commentators note that the characteristics of the Messiah in isaiah 11 match closely the attributes of the king in psalm 72, and one scholar goes so far as to ascribe the very composition of psalm 72 to inspiration from this passage of isaiah (see john j. pilch, Cultural World of the Prophets, cycle a, collegeville: liturgical press, p. 2).
The psalmist extols the virtues of the king and his son, while calling attention to the plight of the poor and disadvantaged. in this lament-within-a-blessing, we discover a distinctly po-litical insight. The capacity of the powerful to address the needs of the powerless becomes the anchor of a just society.
The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The celebration of the patronal feast of the united states shifts by one calendar day this year (since december 8 falls on the second sunday of advent). landing on a Monday, with no ob-ligation attached, this holy day will likely draw

a smaller-than-usual assembly, but those who do come will demonstrate greater-than-usual participation. One can rarely find a more fortunate oppor-tunity for field-training a new cantor.
“Bringing up cantor” can be a lengthy process, with the cantor’s progress determined by the ministry standards of the parish and by the prior training and experience of the individ-ual. Each novice begins her journey with a different background (musical, liturgical, spiritual, and personal); thus, the goal of competent ministry is often accomplished by “filling in the blanks” over time. One aspect of the work that generally draws a blank from beginners is gesture, and more precisely, the cantor’s signal to the as-sembly to begin singing.
Most would-be cantors arrive with choral experience and some ability to read and react to a powerful leader—the conductor. This can be a stum-bling block, for the cantor is neither the conductor of the assembly nor a vocal instrument directed by the mu-sic minister/accompanist. Rather, the cantor leads prayer, most typically in dialogue with the assembly.
leading prayer has both interior and exterior components. To lead prayer, the cantor must pray, draw-ing the prayer of the assembly into her heart. On the outside, the as-sembly should recognize her clear and simple invitation to come along. when in doubt, less is more.
Our Lady of Guadalupeat the end of Mañanitas (the lay-
led celebration held in the wee hours of this feast day), i watch the little children come forward with their parents, approaching the brightly lit shrine of Our lady of Guadalupe with wonder in their eyes. i watch as the young father crouches down, reaches around, and grabs hold of his daughter’s hand, helping her
make the sign of the cross on her small body. This gesture, so simple for grown-ups, baffles small children who do not yet distinguish left from right. watching other people can be tricky as well, since pure imitation turns the sign backwards. The young father does the right thing, helping the child create unambiguous mus-cle memory.
Gestures that we practice in dai-ly life come much more easily to us. with this in mind, let me offer some advice on gestures for cantors.
Teaching on the road over many years, i have witnessed all kinds of gestures from all kinds of people. On this basis, i suggest that the gesture needs to match the person. i tell can-tors to imagine a favorite aunt com-ing through the door at Thanksgiv-ing. The sign of hospitality that one might use to greet her makes an ex-cellent starting place for the cantor’s gesture of invitation to the assembly. This natural opening of the arms (both, if possible) will generally ap-pear relaxed rather than stiff, curved (or bent) rather than straight, at shoulder level or a bit lower. above all, the gesture needs to be human.
Third Sunday of Adventlast sunday, we reaffirmed the re-
lationship of the first reading and the psalm and the importance of explor-ing the reading to find clues to the psalm’s meaning. This week’s selec-tions provide yet another opportunity to practice this interpretive strategy.
The first reading takes us well into isaiah (chapter 35), as the prophet creates a kind of dreamscape, imag-ining how God will repair and re-store the kingdom destroyed by the Babylonians. (hebrew has a word for this kind of restoration—tikkun.) according to isaiah, God will turn the parched earth into the most fer-tile garden imaginable (like carmel
and sharon, local tourist destina-tions). More than that, God will re-store the vitality, the physical and emotional well-being, of the people. weak limbs will be strengthened, fearful hearts encouraged, rheumy eyes brightened, deaf ears cleared, and silent mouths opened for a song of abundant joy. what song will suf-fice in such a moment?
Fortunately, the last five psalms in the Book of psalms form a generous doxology, a comprehensive hymn of praise and thanksgiving. Read-ing aloud the first of the five, today’s psalm 146, you will notice a resonance with the dreamscape of isaiah: here as there, the blind, the deaf, the lame, the mute, and those bowed down find new and abundant life through God’s direct, restorative action.
The Gospel reading from Mat-thew chapter 11 brings all of this to a tidy conclusion, as jesus tells the disciples of john the Baptist, “Go and tell john what you hear and see.”
Fourth Sunday of Adventin today’s first reading, we meet
ahaz, king of judah. israel (in the north) and judah (in the south), united under david and solomon, have long since separated into rival kingdoms. some two hundred years down the davidic line, ahaz takes the throne and disgraces the kingly dynasty with infidelity to the lord. (he seeks out the high places to burn incense and make illicit sacrifices, even killing his own son.) at this point in the saga, the leaders of israel and syria have joined forces against him and, in a panic, he has petitioned the fearful Tiglath-pileser, hellion of assyria, as an ally.
Even with all ahaz has done to offend him, the lord God continues to honor his covenant promise to david’s house. at God’s prompting, isaiah seeks out ahaz to reassure him
Advent • Christmas • Epiphany 2014 Today’s LITURGY
26
that God has not abandoned him and that he need not go over to the dark side to escape the present danger.
Going out of his way to get ahaz back on track, the lord (through isa-iah) offers to do something extraor-dinary, as proof of his firm support and protection. ahaz (reluctant to of-fend Tiglath-pileser with the ancient version of “Thanks, but no thanks!”) refuses to ask for a sign, hiding be-hind the excuse, “i will not tempt the lord!” weary of the folly and stub-bornness of ahaz, isaiah announces the sign in spite of him: “The virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.”
“let the lord enter; he is king of glory.”
The Nativity of the Lord: Daychristmas day Mass comes with
a gift for weary cantors—psalm 98. This classic, common psalm for the christmas season, sung in its most familiar (visitor-friendly) version, makes the cantor’s job a bit easier on the morning after christmas Eve. Even if folks visit once a year, this refrain sticks with them, ready to be called forth by your generous invi-tation. combined with a lively se-lection of carols, psalm 98 helps to bring our sisters and brothers home for christmas.
This mighty gift comes wrapped in the words of isaiah. indeed, the first reading sets up the response so dramatically, it nearly sings itself. listen to the prophet’s consoling words, “how beautiful on the moun-tains are the feet of the one bringing good news,” and look down at your own tired feet. hear the command, “Break out together in song, O ruins of jerusalem,” and summon the spir-it’s joy from the ruins of your own exhausted body. Take your cue from the final lines of the reading, “all the ends of the earth can see the salvation
of our God,” and open your own weary eyes. like the sentinels of je-rusalem, see the saving power of God at work: in your own person, in your family, in your parish, in this assem-bly; and let others see that power in you. Finally, let the spirit sing.
i encourage you to take some time later today to put those beautiful feet up and enjoy a well-earned christ-mas nap.

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
The sunday between christmas and new year’s day offers us scrip-tural snapshots focused on the build-ing of a happy home and a good life. sirach reminds children (young and older) of their responsibility to first obey and then honor their parents. psalm 128 promotes the fear of the lord as the basis for fruitful and prosperous family life. saint paul sets out relational rules for family members—wives, husbands, chil-dren, parents—like links in a chain. The notions of mutual respect and reverence toward one another bind these visions together and provide the relevant lens for applying them to our own time.
Originally written in Greek, the Book of sirach (Ecclesiasticus) never gained official acceptance into the jewish canon of scripture. it did, however, appear in an early Greek translation of the Old Testa-ment, called the septuagint, which functioned as the principle refer-ence for new Testament writers, and eventually for saint jerome, who translated the Bible into latin. writ-ten around 180 Bc, and used in the early church as an instructional text
for members of the catechumenate, sirach blended the best of the jew-ish wisdom tradition with a dash of Greek rational philosophy. consider this gem: “Kindness to a father will not be forgotten…. in time of trou-ble it will be recalled to your advan-tage, like warmth upon frost it will melt away your sins.”
The appearance of psalm 128 on this extended holiday weekend has the added benefit of introducing this wedding-worthy text to engaged couples and their families.
Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God
scripture rarely describes inte-rior feelings but instead relies on outward signs to tell the story. The appearance of the face hints at inner thoughts and feelings, yet the actual emotion behind it remains ambig-uous (especially when the “face” belongs to the lord God). in the psalms, the hiding or turning away of one’s face from the other conveys anger or disappointment (see psalm 27:9), although one may hide or turn the face when dozing or distract-ed (see psalm 44:24). a face that “shines” indicates favor or blessing, as in today’s reading from numbers.
This brief passage takes us back to the time of Moses himself, of whom the scripture says, “The lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a person speaks to a friend” (Exo-dus 33:11). For the people of israel, seeing the face of God meant shar-ing in the liturgy of the sanctuary on festival days (see psalm 63:3). This blessing from numbers was used from the earliest times during the three major feasts (passover, pentecost, and Tabernacles), when the people went in pilgrimage to the temple in jerusalem to stand before the face of the lord God. They un-derstood the temple to be the single
Advent • Christmas • Epiphany 2014 Today’s LITURGY
27
place on earth that the lord chose to dwell. (Thus, its destruction by the Romans in 70 ad represented an overwhelming loss: Where could they go to seek God’s face?)
in today’s psalm, the people cry out in one voice for a living sign of God’s favor: “May he let his face shine upon us.”
The Epiphany of the Lordwith isaiah-eyes we share the
vision of exiles returning from Bab-ylon through darkness and thick clouds: a faint glow gradually be-comes a city splashed in light by the glory of God. as the light spreads, we look around us and see others on the journey—not only exiles but pilgrims coming from every land and nation, all in procession toward the holy city, the new jerusalem. so begins the revelation of Epiphany in today’s first reading.
in the verses selected from psalm 72, we discover the source of the light: the rule of justice and peace by a king whose primary and enduring concern lies with the poor and afflict-ed, the marginalized and victimized, those with “no one to help.” This one will establish shalom (justice, peace, the fullness of good) over the whole world (to the outer limits of israel’s imagination): from the Red sea to the great Mediterranean, from Ethi-opia all the way to spain (Tarshish).
Turning our Epiphany-eyes to consider the following excerpt from morning prayer, we can discern a procession of feast days to mark our journey through this liturgical season, moments of mystery made manifest, all of which share in the ongoing revelation of our life in the christ, so newly born: “Today the bridegroom claims his bride, the church, since christ has washed her sins away in jordan’s waters; the Magi hasten with their gifts to
the royal wedding; and the wed-ding guests rejoice, for christ has changed water into wine, alleluia” (antiphon, canticle of Zechariah).
The Baptism of the LordOn any given sunday, we expect
to uncover some connection among the first reading, the psalm, and the Gospel. Today, a quick scan of the three texts reveals an obvious link. isaiah 42 begins with the divine voice, declaring, “here is my servant whom i uphold, my chosen one with whom i am pleased.” The “voice from the heavens” in Matthew’s Gos-pel echoes with “This is my beloved son, with whom i am well pleased.” psalm 29 connects one scene to the other, proclaiming, “The voice of the lord is over the waters,” and “The God of glory thunders.” such ease tempts us to look no further.
The Lectionary version of psalm 29 captures the highlights but excises the sheer drama of the original. Mem-bers of the heavenly court (“sons of God”) hear the call to praise. Then the lord makes clear the reason for that praise with a demonstration of raw power. in storm, earthquake, fire, and flood, the lord God shows his undisputed mastery. in contrast, today’s selection invokes a God of majestic politesse.
as a water psalm par excellence, psalm 29 may have functioned as a prayer for rain (with literary roots in an old hymn to Baal, the storm god). The version we sing enthrones the lord God “above the flood” as “king forever.” This One has conquered the waters of chaos, just as the chosen one of isaiah and Matthew will conquer the chaos of death, symbolized by the waters of baptism. let all say, “Glory!”
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Lectionary version of psalm 40 is composed of about six verses
from the first part of the hebrew original (called 40a to distinguish it from the second part of the psalm, 40b). while 40a recounts a rescue with gratitude, 40b plunges into an urgent lament. This gives us an in-dication that the redactors (editors) of the psalms placed these two dis-parate parts together for their own purposes (perhaps to round out the numbers in the Book of psalms or in the five “books” within it).
in today’s first verse, the repetition of the word “waited” indicates a long time. Other translations use “waited patiently” and “urgently longed.” it seems that the prayer has been an-swered but only after a trying time. as evidence of the rescue, the psalm-ist has been given a “new song,” a “hymn” to replace the lament that likely accompanied the waiting.
The second verse takes us into the unfamiliar territory of temple wor-ship with “sacrifices” and “sin-of-ferings,” but we do not remain there. These strategies for seeking God’s favor have been replaced by “ears open to obedience.” Verse three ex-pands this notion with “To do your will … is my delight” and “your law is within my heart.”
This commitment to obedience results in the announcement of God’s justice by unrestrained lips. Thus, we can see how this text cir-cles back to the servant of the lord in isaiah and points forward to the “lamb of God” identified by the Baptist in john’s Gospel. © 2013 Ocp. all rights reserved.

Sundays of Advent • The Book of Blessings notes that, following the
First sunday of advent, the candles of the advent wreath “are lighted either before Mass begins or immediately before the opening prayer [collect]; no additional rites or prayers are used” (1513).
• The Universal Norms for the Liturgical Year and the General Roman Calendar describes advent as having a twofold character: “a time of preparation for the solemnities of christ-mas, in which the First coming of the son of God to humanity is remembered, and likewise a time when, by remembrance of this, minds and hearts are led to look forward to christ’s second coming at the end of time” (39). The second character, which is dominant in the first half of advent, is reflected in preface i of advent, while the first character, which is dominant in the second half of advent, is more pronounced in preface ii of advent. as we near the halfway point of advent, the Roman Missal indicates that either advent preface may be used on the Third sunday of advent.
• The Third sunday of advent is known as “Gaudete sunday”; gaudete is latin for re-joice. This sense of rejoicing echoes through-out today’s entrance antiphon, collect, first reading, responsorial psalm, and solemn bless-ing. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (346f) permits the use of rose-colored vestments today to highlight this sense of joy.
• Many hispanic communities observe the advent novena, Las Posadas, on the evenings of decem-ber 16–24. These dramatically enacted and sung devotions represent the difficulties that Mary and joseph encountered when trying to find lodging (posada) when traveling to Bethlehem.
The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary• The solemnity of the immaculate conception
is transferred to Monday, december 9, this year because december 8 falls on a sunday
of advent. The solemnity is not a holy day of obligation this year.
• Even though we are in advent, the Gloria is sung and white vestments are used because today is a solemnity. The readings are found at the end of the “solemnities and Feasts of the lord and saints” section of the sunday Lectionary (689).
• Remember to light the first two candles of the advent wreath for today’s Masses.
Our Lady of GuadalupeThe prayers for today’s feast are at decem-
ber 12 in the proper of saints section of the Ro-man Missal. preface i or ii of the Blessed Virgin Mary is suggested. Even though we are in ad-vent, the Gloria is sung and white vestments are used because today is a feast. The readings are found at december 12 in the proper of saints section of the weekday Lectionary (690a).
The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas)“The nativity of Our lord jesus christ” from
the Roman Martyrology is an ancient text that situates christ’s birth within the major events of salvation history. it appears with chant notation in appendix i of the Roman Missal where the notes say that it “may be chanted or recited be-fore the beginning of christmas Mass during the night.” it could then be followed by the entrance procession and opening song.
There are four Masses for christmas: Vigil, night, dawn, and day. Each has its own prayers in the Roman Missal and readings in the Lectionary. in the Roman Missal, there are three christmas prefaces (#35–37) from which to choose, there is a christmas form of the Communicantes (the section of Eucharistic prayer i beginning with “in communion with those”), and there is a solemn blessing for The nativity of the lord (#2) in the “Blessings at the End of Mass and prayers over the people” section. The Roman Missal also indicates that all are to kneel during the words “and by the holy spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man” in the creed. The priest may want

to announce this and invite people to lower their kneelers prior to begin-ning the creed. a note at #13 in the Lectionary offers some flexibility in selecting from among the readings for the three christmas day Masses (i.e., night, dawn, day) “according to the pastoral needs of each congregation.” decide in advance which readings will be proclaimed at each Mass, and make sure the priest, deacon, music minister, and lectors know.
The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
in the catholic liturgical year, christmas is a season that begins on christmas Eve and continues through the feast of the Baptism of the lord. The season commemorates not only christ’s birth, but also his early man-ifestations as the child in the holy Family (today), the lord of the Gen-tiles (Epiphany) and the beloved son of God (Baptism of the lord).
pray for all families, including those led by single parents and those that have experienced divorce and sep-aration, in today’s universal prayer.
The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God
Today’s solemnity concludes the christmas Octave, the eight days from christmas to january 1 (cf. Universal Norms for the Liturgical Year and the General Roman Calen-dar 35). The end of today’s Gospel recalls the circumcision and naming of jesus, which, by jewish law, took place eight days after his birth.
The Epiphany of the LordThe date of Easter and other
moveable feasts may be proclaimed from the ambo by a deacon or cantor after the Gospel today. The text and chant notation are provided in ap-pendix i of the Roman Missal. The dates for this year are “fifth day of March” (ash wednesday), “twen-tieth day of april” (Easter day), “twenty-ninth day of May” or “first
day of june” (ascension, depending on whether it is observed on Thurs-day or sunday), “eighth day of june” (pentecost), “twenty-second day of june” (Most holy Body and Blood of christ), and “thirtieth day of no-vember” (First sunday of advent).
The Baptism of the LordToday’s feast is the last day of
christmas Time (cf. Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Gener-al Roman Calendar 33, 38). The Ro-man Missal provides two options for today’s collect, and the preface for the Baptism of the lord is printed with the other prayers for today’s feast.
Sundays of Ordinary TimeThe week of prayer for christian
unity runs from saturday, january 18, through the feast of the con-version of saint paul on saturday, january 25. include an intercession for unity among all christians in the universal prayer.
The first reading on the Eighth sunday in Ordinary Time is very short. Remind the lector to leave time for the assembly to settle down after the collect before proclaiming this reading, as well as time for si-lent reflection after the reading. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal states that silence is “part of the celebration” (45), while the in-troduction to the Lectionary notes that “The liturgy of the word must be celebrated in a way that fosters meditation; … proper times for si-lence during the liturgy of the word are, for example, before this liturgy begins, after the first and the second reading, after the homily” (28).
The Presentation of the LordToday’s feast takes the place of the
Fourth sunday in Ordinary Time. see the prayers at February 2 in the proper of saints section of the Roman Missal and the readings in the “solemnities and Feasts of the lord and saints” section of the Lectionary (524).
Today’s Mass begins with a bless-ing of candles and procession, and two forms are provided in the Ro-man Missal. in the first form (pro-cession), the entire assembly gathers in a space other than where the Mass will be celebrated. Everyone holds a candle. The candles are lit while an appropriate song is sung, and then the priest leads the sign of the cross and greeting. This is followed by an introduction, blessing of the candles, sprinkling the candles with holy water, procession with incense to the church, Gloria, and collect. The second form (solemn Entrance) is similar, except that only a “rep-resentative group of the faithful” accompanies the priest and other ministers for the blessing of candles and procession. use the first form at the principal Mass today, and use at least the second form at today’s other Masses. invite parishioners to bring their baptismal candle or another ap-propriate candle to Mass, and have a basket of tapers prepared for those who need a candle. if weather pro-hibits gathering outside and if there is enough space around the baptis-mal font, consider beginning by the baptismal font, and use water from the font to bless the candles.© 2013 Ocp. all rights reserved.

Composer Reflection“The lisbon carol” was written for the
joyous season of christmastide. i had a strong desire that this carol retain the sense of a rus-tic folk song and be flavored rhythmically with early iberian and Renaissance pulses. al-though it has been composed within the last year or so, “The lisbon carol” sounds like an unearthed classic that we all have been sing-ing and humming for decades. it is the spirit of the proverbial that makes the “The lisbon carol” so immediately accessible, familiar, and popular among singers, parishes, and lis-teners alike. Musically speaking, this new car-ol is not harmonically complex or melodically elaborate. The driving force is ultimately the rhythmic crispness that keeps the choir, sing-ers, musicians, and assembly engaged. For the percussionist, the tambourine part will provide a welcomed challenge and add the “cherry on top” for this spirited carol. “The lisbon carol” may also be performed with just the vocal and tambourine parts, omitting the piano and gui-tar accompaniment.
“The lisbon carol” can be used as a pre-lude to the liturgy, during the communion procession, or as a hymn of thanksgiving (due to its eucharistic and Easter references).
i have been asked many times why it is called “The lisbon carol.” My answer is al-ways the same: it just sounded right.

Composer Reflection“Begin with the end in mind,” alan said.
Good advice from my friend and arranging/composition teacher. Those words resonat-ed with me then, and have become my daily morning prayer ever since. whether it’s com-posing a song, planning a liturgy, or prioritiz-ing my schedule for the day, beginning with the end in mind gives clarity and purpose to everything that leads up to the final product.
as the leaves turn and the liturgical year draws to a close, our liturgies begin to focus on the end times and remind us that we are pilgrims on a journey. when our new year begins, we hear similar words that remind us that we must turn away from sin and turn to-ward the ways of God if we wish to have life eternal. Following the death of my father, a friend wrote to me, “as time passes we come to realize death and life are not two but one.” The end is just the beginning…
My vision for “Ready the way” was a con-temporary setting appropriate for the advent season echoing the words of isaiah the proph-et, “prepare the way of the lord.” however, when a friend told me he used it as his major theme for parish missions, i came to realize that those words are meant for us each day, as in the Benedictus from morning prayer: “you, my child, shall be called the prophet of the most high, for you will go before the lord pre-paring his way, to give knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of sins” (luke 1:76–77).
Making straight the road and raising the valleys so that others may come to know, love, and serve our God is the daily mission of every intentional disciple. living with pur-pose in the small ways of encouragement and hope, mending the broken, and tending the poor makes ready the way for christ in our world. let us all ready the way of the lord!

something is new in the pew! it is the 2014 editions of Breaking Bread (BB) and Music Issue (Mi)! Take some re-hearsal time to familiarize your pastoral musicians with the new books. also take a moment to remind the assembly how to use them. They can be used not only as songbooks but also as missals for liturgical and devotional prayer. show the new books to your colleagues at liturgy and staff meetings. Familiarize all ministers with them because there is some-thing for everyone’s ministry. special printed programs are not always necessary if you utilize these resources fully.
For example, beginning on page 132 in BB (p. 237 in Breaking Bread with Readings), you will find various tra-ditional prayers such as the act of contrition, “hail, holy Queen,” and the “Regina coeli,” as well as prayers to var-ious saints. There are prayers for special needs and season-al prayers. some of these prayers can be found on the back cover of Today’s Missal and will vary seasonally with each issue. see the way of the cross (BB p. 135) for a listing of the stations and an interesting history of this devotion. On the in-side back cover you will find everything necessary for Eucha-ristic Exposition and Benediction in one place. Both BB and Mi contain an Order of worship for Morning/Evening prayer and funerals. don’t miss the Rcia outline on page 134 (BB). Ocp’s mission includes more than publishing music.
Today is world aids day. This disease can affect any-one. pray for those afflicted and all who care for them, but consider action such as a special collection.

This year we begin again the complete three-year cycle of scripture readings with year a. Today and throughout 2014 we will hear a semi-continuous reading of Matthew’s Gospel. Those charged with the responsibility of music min-istry recognize that this ministry demands formation both for those in the assembly and, in a special way, the musi-cians. when people join the music ministry, they begin, we hope, a journey of faith and a deeper understanding of the liturgy. as a result, people may find their way to liturgical spirituality, but do not presume it. There are many in our pews who, for whatever reason, barely know about the li-turgical year, let alone its riches, and many are hungry to learn about our faith. don’t miss an opportunity to preach the Gospel during your rehearsals.
in the second reading saint paul urges us to welcome one another. For those who invite the assembly to greet one another before Mass, try this: “Today saint paul urges us to welcome one another as christ welcomed you. in that spirit, please turn and greet those around you.”
Ken canedo’s “holy spirit” litany weaves images from the text of the first reading from isaiah (song: verses 1 and 2) and the pentecost sequence (song: verses 3–6) with our collect, which asks for heavenly wisdom. The imagery at the end of the last verse, “O melt us, warm our chill,” speaks to the season. why limit our prayer to the holy spirit to pen-tecost time? share curtis stephan’s composer reflections on
“Ready the way” (p. 31) with your musicians. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney

in the spirit of evangelization, let’s briefly review the story of this feast for our inquirers, catechumens, and even the faithful! The feast of the immaculate conception (of saint anne, as it was called) was celebrated as early as the seventh century but became official catholic dogma in 1854. From her creation, Mary was sinless. she was not the only human ever conceived without original sin. adam and Eve, jesus, and Mary were all created sinless. But only Mary and jesus remain so. Through Mary’s yes to the angel Gabriel, christ was born to save us from our tragic human condition. Because Mary immaculate is the patroness of the united states, the feast is typically a holy day of obligation. This year the obligation (in the usa) is waived since it was trans-ferred to Monday.
consider introducing “christ the lord” (BB/Mi 608), a beautiful modern advent hymn by Robert Feduccia and sarah hart soon. it reminds us as christians how christ is our hope. The second verse begins, “as we wait with hope for rescue, love descends and all is well,” and then it places christ present in the Eucharist as a centerpiece for the season.
Today’s responsorial psalm 98, “sing to the lord a new song,” beautifully links the fall of creation in the Genesis reading with the Gospel’s annunciation story. in between, the letter to the Ephesians, reminds us of all the good things God has done for us, including our “adoption to himself through jesus christ.”

Today’s feast of Our lady of Guadalupe celebrates love, compassion, and hospitality. after the spanish conquered the indigenous inhabitants of modern-day Mexico, juan diego prayed for unity and peace for his people. Through the apparition of Our lady, known as Guadalupe, the span-ish and the aztecs, neither of whom were innocent of blood-shed, found a new way to live together in peace. The image of Mary that remains on the tilma of juan diego is a combi-nation of European and indian styles. her gown is European, yet her face is mestizo. she is mother to both peoples. This pregnant Virgin is a symbol of new life, unity, resurrection, and hope through the incarnation of her son.
Greeting cont’d. Guadalupe reminds us of the impor-tance of opening ourselves to those who are different from us. The greeting before Mass should not be “we are a friendly parish” or “welcome to saint B’s.” Most of us still know where we are on any given sunday. The greeting can be ritualized in a purposeful sentence geared to the liturgy. For example: “Today’s feast of Our lady of Guadalupe re-minds us that a good way to open ourselves to hear God’s word is to first open ourselves to those around us. in that spirit, please welcome those around you.”
The choir director, cantor, or someone who interacts with the assembly can initiate the greeting. Try not to read it. Memorize it. speak with conviction. Blessed Mother Tere-sa of calcutta said opening ourselves to one another begins with a smile. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Revelation 12:1a great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
FIRST READING Revelation 11:19a; 12:1–6a, 10ab (690a)a great sign appeared: a woman clothed with the sun and her new-born child. Great danger faced them, but God took them to a place of safety: “The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God.” a loud voice sounded from heaven: “now have salvation and power come, and the Kingdom of our God and the authority of the anointed.”
RESPONSORIAL PSALM judith 13:18bcde, 19you are the highest honor of our race.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Blessed are you, holy Virgin Mary, deserving of all praise; from you rose the sun of justice, christ our God.
GOSPEL luke 1:39–47Mary went to Zechariah’s house in the hill country to visit Eliza-beth. when Elizabeth heard Mary, the baby in Elizabeth’s womb
“leaped.” Elizabeth exclaimed: “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.” Mary’s response was, “My soul proclaims the greatness of the lord; my spirit rejoic-es in God my savior.”
COMMUNION ANTIPHON luke 1:52The lord has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly.

Today is also known as Gaudete (Gow-deh-teh) sunday, from the latin word meaning “rejoice.” Gaudate is the first word of today’s latin introit or entrance chant taken from philippians 4. Fill the liturgy with alleluias! Though the tra-ditional color for advent is violet, today the vestments may be rose colored.
prepare for a time warp! On both the second and Third sundays of advent, john the Baptist is a central figure in the Gospel. last sunday we heard Matthew’s chapter 3, in which he recounts the story of john preaching a baptism of repentance in the jordan River. Today the scriptures fast-forward us to chapter 11 where the disciples, in the name of john the Baptist, who is now in prison, confront an adult jesus at the threshold of his ministry. in today’s Gospel, jesus assures john’s disciples that he is truly the fulfillment of the words of the prophet isaiah that we hear in the first reading: “The blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed….”
psalm 146 is today’s responsorial. Bob hurd’s “praise the lord My soul/lord, come and save us” (listed as a communion processional), is also taken from psalm 146. consider using the alternate refrain for communion: “praise the lord, My soul.” hurd’s text for the verses is taken from the recently approved Grail translation.
The “O” antiphons are introduced into Vespers of the liturgy of the hours on december 17. steve angrisano’s
“Emmanuel” is just one of the music selections based on these important antiphons.

in today’s Gospel the annunciation takes place in jo-seph’s dream. Other central stories surrounding jesus’ birth in the Matthean Gospel are the Visit of the Magi and the Flight into Egypt. The stories of the early life of jesus are called infancy narratives, and some scholars say they were added to the Gospels later. Matthew’s infancy narrative is not as extensive as luke’s. There are wise men, but no shepherds. For an excellent, concise commentary on the first reading, see today’s “cantor avenue” on p. 25.
The evangelists had to convince their listeners and so they wrote for their respective audiences. what many of us take for granted as believers is that jesus is the Messi-ah. Matthew wanted jesus clearly situated in the jewish tradition as the fulfillment of the hebrew Testament. his infancy narrative echoes Moses’ story. pope Benedict XVi recently completed his three-volume meditation on the life and teachings of christ with Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives (san Francisco, ca: ignatius press, 2012). your parish may want to include “holy patron, Thee saluting” (BB 126, TM 108) in your repertoire for today especially if your community is named after saint joseph. There’s also a wonderful tribute to this saint in verse 4 of “By all your saints still striving” (BB 193, TM 126). consider combin-ing verses 4-5-6 into a seasonal hymn of praise for joseph, Mary, and john the Baptist.
Greeting for today: “as brothers and sisters who wait together for the light that darkness cannot overcome, let us warmly welcome those who are strangers among us.”

The solemnities of the nativity of the lord include four celebrations: Vigil, night, dawn, and day. it took me by surprise that some of our choir members did not know there were four, since they’re not usually asked to sing at a Mass at dawn. The Vigil Mass was only recently added. Traditional-ly, the three different liturgies of christmas evolved because the pope traveled to three different churches throughout Rome to celebrate Mass on christmas, and this custom began around the seventh century. The Mass at night has been called the “angel Mass,” followed by the “shepherds’ Mass” at dawn and the “Mass of the divine word” during the day. The nicknames came from the Gospels proclaimed at each one.
Two evangelists wrote genealogies of jesus: Matthew and luke. This liturgy’s (long-form) Gospel proclaims the genealogy of jesus according to Matthew. it begins with abraham and names three sets of fourteen ancestors, includ-ing some women. Matthew emphasizes jesus’ royal jewish lineage to validate that he is the new Moses. (luke’s geneal-ogy begins with joseph and works itself back as far as adam to prove that jesus is the second adam.) with this Gospel’s option of the long and short version, adapt pastorally.
a word before you approach the podium: thank you from all of us who know how much work you do. we know about the family events you’ve missed, the extra hours, and the folks you’ve ministered to in your “free” time.
as we begin our celebrations, let us pray for one another and for those in whose footsteps we walk.

christmas Masses are not difficult to prepare. The chal-lenge is organizing, rehearsing, and scheduling musicians! since tonight’s liturgy can probably fly on automatic pilot, can we take a moment for a commercial?
i’ll be the first to admit that i am technologically chal-lenged, but at least i’m learning. This may be old news to some, but are you aware that there is a Respond & Acclaim 2014 eBook (see ocp.org/ra) for ipads and android tablets with responsorial psalms and Gospel acclamations? your cantors will love it and now there’s no reason for them not to be prepared. with an electronic tablet, they can carry their psalms with them and study their music anywhere. it costs less than $10.00!
another item of interest for you and perhaps your choirs or ensembles is the eBook edition of Choral Praise, Third Edition with Lectionary Readings (Ocp ed. 30114641). it in-cludes choral arrangements, harmonies, and readings. pack it in your suitcase on your way out of town for your christmas vacation, and do your liturgical preparation with ease.
The church does not permit the use of electronic devices at the ambo, but these mobile devices surely will make a big difference for the musicians at the Easter Vigil!
i realize that many organists have some entire hymn-books on their ipads. how sweet is that? however, the first time i tried it, my ipad went to sleep as i had forgotten to change the settings. Oh, well, live and learn! i am a work in progress.
May your days be merry and bright, and may your min-istry lead you to wisdom and holiness. Blessed christmas!

This Mass is known as the shepherds’ Mass probably be-cause the Gospel tells us about the shepherds making haste to find “Mary and joseph, and the infant lying in the manger” then returning to glorify God for all they had seen and heard. This liturgy is filled with images of the coming light. in the collect, the priest prays, “we pray…that, as we are bathed in the new radiance of your incarnate word, the light of faith, which illumines our minds, may also shine through in our deeds.”
consider “christ the lord” (BB/Mi 608) by Robert Fed-uccia and sarah hart for this liturgy. The text mentions dark-ness and light, facing east, rising, and awaking, as well as
“love has come to steal the night.” in her scripture commentary Welcoming the Word in
Year A: Building on Rock (collegeville, Mn: liturgical press, 2008), the late australian Good samaritan sister Verna holyhead calls attention to an unusual painting that was new to me. Titled The Adoration of the Christ Child, its painter was an unknown sixteenth-century Flemish artist, and it hangs in the new york Metropolitan Museum of art (tinyurl.com/adoration-painting). skeptically, i searched for it on the internet and, just as sister said (p. 14), there are two angels slightly left and above the manger that appear to have down syndrome. Granted, it was not called by that at the time. what a great christmas gift for families with a special child. prints are available in various sizes, either as the original or cropped, at art.com. i wonder whose children are in that painting. The artist certainly captured the christ-mas message.

Matthew 2:2 states: “we have seen his star in the East, and have come with gifts to adore the lord.” looking around at the shopping mall frenzy, i wonder if the last four words of that scripture are lost on us. it just wouldn’t seem like christmas without giving gifts. how else would we re-spond to the greatest gift of God given to us, but to desire to give in return? in our culture, the reality is more accu-rately called “gift-exchange.” we buy for one another. The national Retail Federation projected that americans spent 579.8 billion dollars for christmas 2012. personally, i have adopted a policy of “pay it forward,” named for the touch-ing helen hunt and Kevin spacey movie of the same name. That’s now my standard response when someone thanks me for a favor.
do we really need more stuff? some churches are now offering an alternative christmas Market as a way to “give in return” for the gift from the Father to us. what a great way to pass it forward! create a festive atmosphere where various “vendors” offer products or services that would support parish, local, and international charities. consider a display where teens might sign up to give of themselves for local service projects. The Knights of columbus always have projects! Go to heifer.org to donate a live animal to a needy international family. catholic parents today are seek-ing creative opportunities to teach their children how to live the faith. pass it forward. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney

The christ child lay on Mary’s lap (Mawby/chesterton) Ocp 4518O Magnum Mysterium (c. walker) Ocp 11987
in today’s Gospel story, an angel again appears to joseph in a dream. he is told to take Mary and the child and to flee to Egypt where they will be safe from ruthless herod, who was having male babies killed. The story of the Flight into Egypt is similar to that of Moses’ mother when she hid him during the time when pharaoh ordered all male babies to be killed. i’m glad we don’t hear that part of the story on this joyful feast of the holy Family of jesus, Mary, and joseph.
pope leo Xiii instituted today’s feast in 1893. Only re-cently did it gain precedence when it moved to sunday. we must be careful not to turn this feast into a celebration of the modern american family. jesus was raised by an extended family, as were all children of his time, and it remains this way in the Middle East. it’s not a good day to focus on the merits of children having both a father and a mother — as this only makes children in single-parent families feel less worthy to be in our community. Today offers preachers an opportunity to affirm parents as they struggle with the chal-lenges of raising children. it’s a time to comfort those who weep over their children for whatever reason, a chance to forgive someone in the family who may not even merit for-giveness. we need to be grateful for parents who, right or wrong, did the best they could.
look carefully over the music suggestions, and supple-ment those christmas carols!

Magnificat (Rosen) Ocp 30114062
luke Mayernik’s octavo “The lisbon carol” (Ocp ed. 30107975, see page 30 in this issue of Tl) with its rhyth-mic refrain “Gaudete! Gaudete! christus est natus ex Maria Virgine!” makes a delightful prelude or communion proces-sional for today’s joyous feast. The refrain can even stand alone as an acclamation. The text spans from prophets to the Magi to the holy Trinity and is perfect for today.
another seasonal item of interest comes from Father Mi-chael joncas. his latest music anthology, Within Our Hearts Be Born (Ocp ed. 30113320), is a volume that offers a hymn of the day for every sunday and solemnity in year a, B, and c of the advent/christmas season of our Lectionary. The composer explains that the hymn of the day “reflects the central thrust of the proclamation for the day” in the prot-estant tradition, where it is used after the proclamation of the word, sermon, and creed. joncas suggests that it be used in Roman catholic worship at presentation of the Gifts, for example, or perhaps after communion. There are scripture commentaries for each hymn. These texts may be used with other hymn tunes with the same metrical structure. here are sample stanzas from “as joseph lay in deepest sleep” for holy Family sunday. it can be sung to Benoit’s “where charity and love prevail”:
Verse 1: “as joseph lay in deepest sleep, / an angel of the lord Brought him a message in a dream, / The lofty word of God.”
Verse 5: “May his forgiveness warm our homes, / his wisdom bless our lives, / his gentleness touch children’s hearts, / his strength, husbands and wives.”

CHORALleader in starlight (Tamblyn) Ocp 7233The Guiding light of Eternity (stephens) Ocp 11050Epiphany carol (hansen) Ocp 12781
in his classic The Liturgical Year: Its History and Its Meaning After the Reform (collegeville, Mn: pueblo press, 1981), adolf adam states that the oldest traces of this feast come from alexandria, Egypt, where the feast of jesus’ bap-tism was celebrated around january 6, as “the real moment of the son of God’s birth into the world” (p. 144). Roman catho-lics today celebrate the manifestation of God to all the peoples of the earth. in Preaching the New Lectionary, Year A (col-legeville, Mn: liturgical press, 2001) congregation sister of saint agnes dianne Bergant states: “Three themes dominate: jerusalem is the source of light for the nations; christ is the revelation of God to all the nations; new relationships are es-tablished in christ between jew and Gentile” (p. 74).
The christmas season officially ends next sunday with the feast of the Baptism of the lord. Today we celebrate the arrival of the three kings. if “we Three Kings” reminds you of camels crossing the desert, that’s exactly what the com-poser intended! There are alternatives to christmas carols to celebrate the season.
alternate the verses of scott soper’s “child of the poor” with “what child is This” for an extended communion pro-cessional. have the choir hum or instruments play the “part-ner” melody simultaneously. what is the sense of singing both texts at the same time? palestrina would be appalled! consider songs about gifts such as “Gift of Finest wheat” or
“God’s holy Gifts” as a reminder of our true blessings. En-thronement psalms 96, 97, 98 are the source of the responso-rials of christmas, and paulist Father Ricky Manalo’s “The God of all Grace” works well for today and next sunday.

Give us a pure heart (willcock) Ocp 4529let the peace of christ Rule in your hearts (d. hurd) Ocp 4621
The week of prayer for christian unity begins on janu-ary 18 and runs through january 25.
when prayers are answered immediately, we often call it a miracle. But sometimes miracles take time. as we cele-brate the Baptism of the lord, we also celebrate what would seem unbelievable a generation ago. On january 29, 2013, several protestant denominations in the Reformed tradition, plus representatives from the united states conference of catholic Bishops (usccB), signed an agreement validat-ing each other’s baptisms at an ecumenical prayer service in saint Mary cathedral in austin, Texas (tinyurl.com/bap-tism-validation). The four protestant groups were the pres-byterian church-usa, the christian Reformed church in north america, the Reformed church in america, and the united church of christ. auxiliary Bishop denis Madden of Baltimore, chairman of the Bishops’ committee on Ecu-menical and interreligious affairs made the announcement.
“while most of the Reformed denominations already recog-nized catholic baptisms, the statement puts an official stamp on mutual recognition of baptisms by each of the church groups” (tinyurl.com/official-stamp). Flowing water and the Trinitarian formula must be used. The dialogue that led to this agreement with the Reformed churches began in l965.
Read the scriptures slowly today, and then sing the en-tire text of “hark! the herald angels sing.” it reflects the readings for the lord’s baptism. By popular demand, paulist Fr. Ricky Manalo’s “The God of all Grace” (verses, too!) returns to BB/Mi (317). see—your input via the annual survey matters! note that this piece is also found in Jour-neysongs, Third Edition (ocp.org/js3).
For the sprinkling rite consider lynn Trapp’s “springs of water” (BB 172), based on the blessed assurance hymn tune. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney

as we return to Ordinary Time we again hear from john the Baptist. in today’s Gospel the Baptist tells his followers that the One who was to come is here! Follow him! he will tell everyone what is necessary to do to become his disciples.
There’s a lot to consider for your preparation this sunday. don’t try to be all things to all people.
Monday, January 20 is Martin luther King, jr., day in the secular calendar. Recently, i heard a TEd talk on the radio. a TEd talk is a free lecture series on the internet. Their motto is: “Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world.” This particular speech mentioned Martin luther King, jr., as a person who succeeded, not because he was the best orator or an original thinker, but because he presented people with a dream of a better world. in essence, he was a martyr and an example of the witness jesus asks of us.
Wednesday, January 22 is the day of prayer for the legal protection of unborn children. Mass on this day may be the Mass “For Giving Thanks to God for the Gift of human life” (no. 48/1 of the Masses and prayers for Var-ious needs and Occasions), or the Mass “For the preserva-tion of peace and justice” (no. 30 of the Masses and prayers for Various needs and Occasions).
There are music suggestions that refer to jesus as shep-herd and as the lamb of God. Be cautious in your prepara-tion. choose one image, not both.

we stand at the threshold of this new year. in my letter from the editor i mentioned several significant transitions that occurred in 2013. Globally, we witnessed the resigna-tion of pope Benedict XVi and the election of pope Francis. significant to all readers and to Ocp was the retirement of portland’s archbishop john j. Vlazny and the installation of his successor, alexander K. sample. One of his tasks is that he also succeeds archbishop Vlazny as chairman of Ocp’s board of directors. as you may know, Ocp is an organ of the archdiocese of portland and as such is a not-for-profit reli-gious organization affiliated with the archdiocese. archbish-op sample comes to Oregon from the diocese of Marquette, Michigan. we’ll hear from him as soon as he settles in.
The legendary Roman god janus, after whom january is named, is pictured with two profiles. One is looking for-ward and one looking back. Much like janus, we, too, look ahead to the future and reflect on the past. The late liturgist Benedictine Father anscar chupungco, when explaining the eucharistic prayers, called it “remembering into the future.”
On a personal note, i wrote several easy piano arrange-ments for use as solos or between verses during the com-munion processional. They can also serve as extensions when extra music is necessary. selections include “sing a new song” (pdf ed. 30107026), “here i am, lord,” (pdf ed. 30107024) “One Bread, One Body” (pdf ed. 30107025), and
“On Eagle’s wings” (ed. 3002). These are available on ocp.org. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney

it’s not often that the entire worshipping community gets to celebrate the feast of the presentation of the lord. This feast falls on sunday this year, replacing the Fourth sunday in Ordinary Time. This celebration has had several names: candlemas, the purification of Mary, and the presentation of jesus.
Regarding the candles: all candles to be used in church for the coming year are blessed on this day at Mass. Thus,
“candle-Mass”! Regarding the purification: all women were considered unclean after childbirth and had to present them-selves after forty days at the temple for purification. sinless, yet obedient to the law, Mary conformed. in time the name became presentation of the lord. The significance of the feast relates to two important elders of the jewish temple, anna and simeon. upon seeing jesus, simeon proclaims how he has waited for his whole life to meet the Messiah and it is jesus. he then proclaims the canticle nunc dimittis/ song of simeon: “now, you may dismiss your servant, lord….”
The liturgy begins with the Blessing of candles and the procession. see paul covino’s Ritual notes on p. 29. To celebrate jesus the light of the world and simeon’s procla-mation together makes perfect liturgical sense.
and now, back to our scripture outline. Matthew’s Gos-pel is not the oldest. it was compiled about 80–85 ad (about fifty years after the Resurrection) and incorporated parts of Mark’s (the oldest) writings. in The Collegeville Bible Com-mentary, jesuit Father daniel harrington states, “it is fair to call Matthew’s Gospel a revised and greatly expanded ver-sion of Mark’s Gospel” (collegeville, Mn: liturgical press, 1989) p. 6. — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney

unfortunately, the Gospel we missed last week, because of the feast of the presentation, was the beginning of the sermon on the Mount’s “Beatitudes” from Matthew 5:1–12. Today’s Gospel continues that sermon in Matthew 5:13–16, where jesus helps the disciples understand who they are: salt of the earth and light for the world! sing the Beatitudes somewhere in the liturgy today since we did not hear them last week.
as we move forward under the leadership of pope Fran-cis, we bring with us the wisdom of his predecessors. as we move ever deeper into the new Evangelization we also celebrate fifty years of the Vatican council’s document on the sacred liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, approved in december 1963. There is a lot to cover in these short col-umns, but here goes.
Evangelization means to spread the Gospel and recruit new members to the faith. The focus of the “old” evangeliza-tion was to convert and baptize nonbelievers and non-chris-tians into the catholic church. They would be taught about jesus and be catechized to receive the sacraments.
The origins of the new Evangelization can be found in the writings of pope Francis’ predecessors: pope paul Vi in his 1975 apostolic exhortation Evangelii Nuntiandi and pope john paul ii in his 1990 encyclical Redemptoris Missio. These writings refer heavily to documents of Vatican ii.
Both popes wanted to redirect evangelization efforts to all of us in the church, marginal catholics (those with little training in the faith), “retired” catholics, and cultures previ-ously christian. The goal of the new Evangelization was to be and now is the acceptance of christ’s values, not conver-sion to catholicism. (continued on p. 68)

GOSPEL Matthew 5:13–16jesus called his disciples the “salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” he cautioned them not to let the salt lose its flavor and not to put a cover on the light but to let it shine. “your light must shine before others…and glorify your heavenly Father.”

The sermon on the Mount, which includes chapter 5–7, is the first of five discourses or homilies that comprise Mat-thew’s Gospel. From the Fourth sunday through the end of this issue of Today’s Liturgy, the Gospel readings are taken from that sermon. Today we hear (if the long form is pro-claimed) about murder and anger, adultery, divorce, and oath taking. psalm 19 is a common psalm for Ordinary Time. Be sure that there is a version in your assembly’s repertoire. it can be used as a communion processional in any season and on the sundays of Ordinary Time it may be used in place of the assigned responsorial psalm for pastoral reasons.
The New Evangelization (cont’d.) has a different audi-ence than the previous one. whereas the old evangelization was directed toward the nonbeliever, the new Evangeliza-tion is first of all focused on believers, not converts.
we are urged first to foster a deep personal relationship with christ—to deepen our own conversion experience. john paul ii taught that “conversion to the person of christ must precede conversion to the church” (see Osservatore Romano, Eng. ed., jan. 14, 1991, p. 2). after that, both or-dained and laity are to reach out to lapsed, retired, formerly (or whatever we’re calling them these days) catholics. how should we do it? Through modern means: internet, technol-ogy, and the arts.
and what is the goal of this new Evangelization? The transformation of the world! how will it happen? it will be through the witness of believers—friends, acquaintances, and family—then the neighborhood, then the world.
after all, jesus began with only twelve apostles and in today’s Gospel he is speaking to crowds on the Mount.

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON cf. psalm 31 (30):3–4Be my protector, O God, a mighty stronghold to save me. For you are my rock, my stronghold! lead me, guide me, for the sake of your name.
FIRST READING sirach 15:15–20 (76a)immense is the lord’s wisdom. The lord God sees every created thing and understands every human deed. human beings have life and death before them, and they receive whichever they choose.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM psalm 119:1–2, 4–5, 17–18, 33–34Blessed are they who follow the law of the lord!
SECOND READING 1 corinthians 2:6–10paul wrote that real wisdom is God’s: hidden, mysterious, planned and prepared from the very beginning for the glory of those who love the lord.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Matthew 11:25Blessed are you, Father, lord of heaven and earth; you have re-vealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom.
GOSPEL Matthew 5:17–37 or 5:20–22a, 27–28, 33–34a, 37jesus said he came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. he de-scribed such fulfillment as a matter not of legal argumentation but of holiness, reconciliation and the obedience of faith. jesus encour-aged the disciples to let their “yes” mean “yes” and their “no” mean “no.”
COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. psalm 78 (77):29–30They ate and had their fill, and what they craved the lord gave them; they were not disappointed in what they craved.Or john 3:16God so loved the world that he gave his Only Begotten son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

On december 3, l963, the second Vatican council ap-proved its first document, Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. a century of liturgical scholarship had already taken place, and the document was quickly approved by a landslide vote of 2,162 to 46. it called for the church to return to its ancient (not medieval) sources for inspiration, for cultural adaptation, and for full and ac-tive participation by everyone in the liturgy.
The contemplative Trappist Father Thomas Merton (1915–1968), no fan of the “folk” Mass, once said that he was in favor of anything that brought life and fervor to the liturgy (see Merton’s 1951 letter to philip j. cascia in The Road to Joy). liturgists, pastors, and pastoral musicians worked feverishly to achieve that. Fifty years later we are at a deeper level of thinking: the fruit of full, active, and conscious participation should be the transformation of our-selves and our communities. This is where the goals of the new Evangelization and the Constitution on the Sacred Lit-urgy coalesce. The goals are the same, but it must be done with new methods for a modern world.
“The fruits of evangelization are changed lives and a changed world—holiness and justice, spirituality and peace. The validity of our having accepted the Gospel does not only come from what we feel or what we know; it comes also from the way we serve others, especially the poorest, the most marginal, the most hurting, the most defenseless, and the least loved. an evangelization that stays inside ourselves is not an evangelization into the Good news of jesus christ” (Go and Make Disciples, usccB, 18).

in today’s Gospel from Matthew, jesus warns his disci-ples about the futility of serving two masters. in Matthew 6:24 we hear “you cannot serve God and mammon” (per-sonal wealth or greed). The lovely pericope about the lil-ies of the field follows. it is a perfect conclusion to these series of columns on the new Evangelization. But the new Evangelization cannot be only words. whether ordained presbyter or lay ecclesial minister, discipleship means that we become more christ-like every day in our actions and in our words. Both are important. Those who have left the church are not impressed by words only. Our youth want to see leaders “walking the walk,” not just “talking the talk.”
pope john paul ii’s 1990 encyclical Redemptoris Missio is the basis for the new Evangelization. it is not the reform of the reform. its focus is not the color of altar servers’ cas-socks, styles of music, ordination, or devotional practices. it is a call for us all to experience inner conversion. how can pastoral musicians be part of the new Evangelization? share your faith and knowledge with your fellow musicians. Teach them why we do what we do at liturgy. use these columns to share Matthew’s structure, perspective, and ap-proach to his Gospel. consider ways to use the sermon on the Mount Gospels to inspire reflection. This can’t all be managed within rehearsal, nor should it be left to the Bible study group. pope Francis is showing us how to live. can we follow? Or is his way too costly?

SECOND READING 1 corinthians 4:1–5we are administrators of the mysteries of christ. as such, we should do everything in our power to prove worthy of this great trust. we should not be passing judgment on others, for this is the lord’s right.
