Baptism: Re-Gifting
uring Christmastime we celebrate the Incarnation, the coming of God in the
human flesh of Jesus of Nazareth. The Baptism of the Lord concludes this season
and leads us into the following Sundays of discipleship readings. The gift of God
becoming one of us in a human body is a gift returned—you might say re-gifted—
in our own Baptism. Our own bodies are made members of the Body of Christ, the Church.
In our own Baptism we, like Jesus, are anointed with God’s Spirit and declared to be God’s
beloved sons and daughters, with whom God is well pleased.
We show our deepest appreciation for the gifts we receive at Christmas by using
them. In Baptism we have been given the gifts to hear the Good News of Jesus and
to share it with the world. In
the sacrament, the Holy Spirit
anoints us as priests, prophets,
and kings; in these roles we are
called to lives of proclamation,
service, and prayer. Living our
lives as faithful disciples is a
wonderful “Thank you” note for
the gift of Baptism!
CSI: Catholic Scene
Investigation
In Baptism we are anointed with oil,
with the sign of the cross traced on our
foreheads. Aside from Sunday Mass, how
many times a day do you make the sign
of the cross?
Quick Quiz
Which other event from his life did
Jesus refer to as his baptism?
a)
b)
c)
d)
Walking on the water
Crucifixion
Resurrection
Teaching the woman at the well
Answer: (b) (see Luke 12:50) We
believe that our baptism also
baptizes us into the death of Christ,
and into his rising.

Boletín Informativo para Apreciar y Celebrar la Oración de la Iglesia
urante el Tiempo de Navidad
celebramos la Encarnación, la
venida de Dios en carne humana
de Jesús de Nazaret. Con la fiesta
del Bautismo del Señor concluye este
tiempo y nos lleva a las lecturas sobre
la invitación a los discípulos en los
domingos siguientes. El don de Dios que
se hace uno como nosotros en la carne
(menos en el pecado) es un regalo que
se devuelve –podría decirse un doble
regalo– en nuestro bautismo. Nuestros
cuerpos se hacen miembros del Cuerpo
de Cristo, la Iglesia. En nuestro Bautismo
nosotros, al igual que Jesús, somos ungidos con el Espíritu de Dios y declarados sus hijos
e hijas bien amados, en quienes él se complace.
Demostramos nuestro más profundo aprecio por los regalos que recibimos en
Navidad cuando los usamos. En el Bautismo recibimos los dones de escuchar la Buena
Nueva de Jesús y de compartirla con el mundo. En el sacramento, el Espíritu Santo nos
unge como sacerdotes, profetas y reyes/reinas; por tener esas funciones somos llamados
a vivir vidas de proclamación, servicio y oración. Cuando llevamos la vida de discípulos
fieles ¡se convierte en una tarjeta de agradecimiento por el don del Bautismo!

Life as Litany: Save Us, Send Us
A
sacramental theology
professor of mine once
offered a definition of
original sin that is, to my
mind, the most accurate and succinct
I’ve ever heard: “Human beings can
mess up anything.”
Anything? Anything. Our history—
both inside and outside of the
Church—confirms the truth of this
definition.
In Matthew 6:7, Jesus warns
us against vain/empty/babbling
repetition of prayers, thinking that
this is how we make God hear us, or
make God listen, or make God act. The
prayers of Jesus’ own Jewish tradition,
of course, made and continue to make
use of repetition (see Psalm 136).
Our own Roman Catholic tradition,
likewise, has a number of prayer
forms that feature repetition. What
Jesus is warning us against is what
he so often warns us against: vanity,
emptiness, babbling. Even more, we
are warned against committing the
sin of Eden: pridefully thinking that
our prayers can or will, somehow,
give us power or control over God’s
divine grace and will.
In 2012, I was privileged to be
part of the opening keynote address
by Fr. Ron Raab, csc, at the National
Pastoral Musician’s convention in
Pittsburgh. At the conclusion of his
address, we chanted a litany: “Save
us, send us.” His powerful message
about the saving power of God we
MUSINGS
♦
Alan
Hommerding
experience in the rites and its need to
be sent into the world for the service
of others was potently summed up by
this litany.
As with all prayers, litanies are
intended to change us, not to change
God. Their relentless rhythm must
wash over us, transforming us and
shaping us as waves or streams of
water will change and shape even the
hardest rock.
I have no doubt that John the
Baptist cried “Prepare ye!” over and
over in his work as a herald messenger
for Jesus. I like to think that the
angels sang “Glory!” and “Peace!”
more than once over Bethlehem, to
reveal the heart of heaven.
And I see the life of Christ—who
warned against empty repetition in
prayer—as a litany in which the joy,
beauty, justice, peace, and mercy of
God’s reign was fully and persistently
proclaimed. May the grace of our
Advent and Christmas days lead us
to live also as litanies proclaiming
the reign of God.
Response: Save us, O God.
From the brutality of murder and violence . . .
From the hardship of poverty and loss . . .
From the evil of war and hatred . . .
From the silence of apathy and neglect . . .
And from all evil . . .
Response: Send us, O God.
To announce the Good News . . .
To seek God’s fidelity . . .
To love the sinner . . .
To respect our neighbor . . .
And to blend our voices in peace . . .

We Celebrate Hymnal
A
standard in the WLP family
of worship resources, the
2014 edition of the We
Celebrate Hymnal is now
available!
We Celebrate provides the best of
both worlds: a dignified and durable
hymnal combined with a convenient
three-times-a-year missal containing
readings, prayers of the Mass, and
Sunday-by-Sunday reflections.
The elegant and long-lasting
cover will appear in a rich, textured
ruby tone, embossed with the simple
gold We Celebrate cross. In response
to customer requests, the matching
sturdy accompaniments will be
available in both landscape and
portrait formats, both in three-ring
binders.
But We Celebrate is about the
music! We’ve added three of our
most popular Mass settings: Mass of
Wisdom, Mass of St. Ann, and Missa
Simplex. In addition, the titles that
have supplemented the program for
the last three years will be included.
This mix of both traditional and
contemporary music features new
texts and music by Steve Warner
and Karen Schneider Kirner; Paul
Nienaber, sj; Tony Alonso; Delores
Dufner, osb; Ed Bolduc; Bob Moore;
and John Angotti—to name a few! A
complete song list can be found at

Open Wide the Doors
Dear Pastor Al:
Sometimes I get frustrated at the
crowds who show up at church on
Christmas and Easter, making things
difficult for those of us who are here
every week. But I’ve heard about this
New Evangelization, so should I have
a more positive attitude?
—Fa la la Let’s Go!
O
Dear FLLLG:
n Christmas and Easter,
attendance at our church
doubles. It’s harder to find
a parking spot, pews can
fill up well before Mass begins, and
people unfamiliar with our customs
can cause all kinds of disruptions.
What do we make of this? We might
be tempted to think, “Geez, people
sure come out of the woodwork twice
a year. They don’t know how to act in
church and their kids are disruptive.
We should remind them that we are
open between Christmas and Easter!”
But consider how Jesus went
about his public ministry. The Gospels
are filled with stories of Jesus reaching
out to people on the margins. Tax
collectors, prostitutes, the sick and
aged—across lines of race, ethnicity,
and gender. He broke many of society’s
rules about the in-crowd and focused
his attention on outsiders. He loved
the “church people” but mainly went
about seeking the lost. Jesus told his
disciples about a shepherd who left
behind ninety-nine sheep to search for
one that was lost. He told them plainly,
“The Son of Man came to seek and
save what was lost” (Luke 19:10).
From that perspective, the
crowds of Christmas and Easter are
a wonderful opportunity to welcome
guests and visitors to our parish, help
them to feel at home, and invite them
to be part of our community of faith.
It’s an occasion for each of our regular
parishioners to take up his or her role
as evangelist and to extend hospitality.
Invierno/winter 2014
PASTOR AL notes
♦
“Pastor Al”
How might that look in practice?
Here are some ideas. Give up any
attachment to “my pew.” It is, after
all, God’s pew in God’s house that
God has entrusted to our whole
community. Don’t spread out your
coats and purses to reserve a pew for
your family members who are running
late. If children cry, make noise, or
misbehave, bear the interruptions
with patience and love. Don’t try to
be the first one out of the parking lot
after Mass.
You might go a step further and
actively reach out to welcome guests
and visitors. Say hello and introduce
yourself to people as you enter and leave
church. Hold the door for someone. If
the pews are getting full, slide down to
make room for others. Share a hymnal.
Tell someone what you like about our

The First Sacrament:
The
Church
by
Rita Ferrone
I
n the Vatican II Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium, a reference to the Church
as a sacrament appears in the very first paragraph. It is thrown out almost as if it is obvious that
the Church is to be understood this way. “Since the Church . . . is in the nature of sacrament . . . ”
Yet for many Catholics, understanding the Church as “in the nature of sacrament” is a stretch of
the imagination. What does it mean to say the Church is like a sacrament? What are the implications
of this idea?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines sacrament as “an efficacious sign of grace, instituted
by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us through the work of the
Holy Spirit” (CCC, Glossary). Can a community of people, the Church, really resemble a sacrament?
Our experience
Probably the best way to begin
to explore the concept of Church
as sacrament is through our own
experience. When we experience
Church at its finest, its sacramental
nature shines through. Let’s look at a
few examples.
The whole time Margie was
undergoing chemotherapy,
a circle of her friends from
church took turns preparing
covered-dish suppers for her.
Their love and concern took
on flesh through the making
of home-cooked meals that
appeared at her door each day,
often with a note that said
“I’m praying for you.” She felt
surrounded by love.
When Jack lost his only son
in Iraq, his pain was deep and
very private. The guys from his
Knights of Columbus chapter
understood. They came to the
funeral, and stood by him in
solidarity through the hard
days and months of emptiness
and loss that he felt. The
faith of the Church was no
abstraction to Jack; it was a
firm foundation shared with
his brothers.
Vilma and her two children
were lucky. When fire ripped
through their apartment
building, they escaped. But
all their possessions went
up in flames, including their
immigration papers. Not only
were they suddenly homeless,
they felt afraid. Vilma’s pastor
ran to the scene of the fire;
it was in his parish. Seeing
him there in the midst of the
sooty, milling crowd, talking
to people, calming them down,
gave Vilma hope. “We’ll be all
right,” she thought to herself.
“The padre will help us.”
Probably none of Margie’s friends
said to themselves, “I am like a
sacrament when I prepare this meal.”
Jack’s buddies in the K of C thought
little about what they “symbolized” as
they kept him company in his grief.
Vilma’s pastor was not focused on
being “a means of grace” as he ran to
the scene of the fire. Yet each of these
groups and individuals truly became

El primer sacramento:
por
la Iglesia
Rita Ferrone
E
n la Constitución Dogmática sobre la Iglesia emitida por
el Concilio Vaticano II, Lumen gentium, una referencia a
la Iglesia como sacramento aparece en el primer párrafo.
Se menciona casi como si fuera obvio que la Iglesia debe
comprenderse de este modo. “Porque la Iglesia es en Cristo como
un sacramento...” Sin embargo para muchos católicos, entender a
la Iglesia como un “tipo de sacramento” requiere gran esfuerzo.
¿Qué significa decir que la Iglesia es como un sacramento? ¿Qué
implicaciones tiene esta idea?
El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica define al sacramento como
“signo eficaz de la gracia, instituido por Jesucristo y entregado a la
Iglesia, mediante el cual se nos confiere la vida divina por obra del
Espíritu Santo” (CIC, Glosario). ¿Puede una comunidad, la Iglesia,
realmente parecerse a un sacramento?
Nuestra experiencia
Probablemente la mejor manera
de comenzar a estudiar el concepto
de Iglesia como sacramento es
mediante nuestra propia experiencia.
Cuando vivimos la Iglesia en todo su
esplendor se evidencia su naturaleza
sacramental. Reflexionemos sobre
algunos ejemplos.
Cuando Margarita estaba teniendo
su quimioterapia, un círculo de
sus amigas de la iglesia se turnó
para prepararle comida. El amor y
cuidado de ellas se fortaleció con
la preparación de comidas caseras
que cada día llevaban hasta la
puerta de su casa, a menudo con
una nota que decía “Estamos
rezando por ti”. Ella se sintió
rodeada de amor.
Cuando Pedro perdió a su único
hijo en Irak, su dolor fue profundo
y muy privado. Los amigos del
capítulo de los Caballeros de
Colón lo comprendieron. Fueron
al funeral y lo acompañaron
en solidaridad durante los días
difíciles y meses de vacío y
pérdida que sintió. La fe de la
Iglesia no fue una abstracción
para Pedro; fue un cimiento firme
compartido con sus hermanos.
Vilma y sus dos hijos tuvieron
suerte. Cuando el fuego incendió
su departamento, escaparon. Pero
todas sus posesiones se quemaron,
incluso sus papeles migratorios.
No solo quedaron repentinamente
sin hogar, se sintieron aterrados.
El párroco de Vilma corrió a
la escena del fuego; era en el
área de su parroquia. Verlo en
medio de la multitud cubierto en
cenizas hablando con la gente
y calmándola, le dio a Vilma
esperanza. “Estaremos bien”,
pensó para sí. “El padre nos
ayudará”.
Probablemente ninguna de las
amigas de Margarita pensó para sí:
“Soy como un sacramento cuando
preparo esta comida”. Los amigos de
Pedro de los Caballeros de Colón no
pensaron lo que “simbolizaban” al
acompañarlo en su dolor. El párroco
de Vilma no pensaba en ser “un medio
de gracia” cuando corrió a la escena
del fuego. Sin embargo cada uno de
estos grupos e individuos realmente se
convirtió en un signo de la presencia de
Dios y en un instrumento de gracia por
lo que hicieron. Mostraron la naturaleza
sacramental de la Iglesia en acción.
Los fieles han recibido al
Espíritu Santo en el Bautismo y en la
Confirmación. Como miembros del
Cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia, son parte del
gran plan de Dios de reconciliar a todo
el mundo con él (vea Colosenses 1:19–
20). Cuando obran según su llamado,
señalan y hacen realidad para los demás
la presencia salvadora de Dios.

a sign of God’s presence and an
instrument of grace by what they did.
They showed forth the sacramental
nature of the Church in action.
The faithful have received
the Holy Spirit in Baptism and
Confirmation. As members of Christ’s
Body, the Church, they are part of
the great plan of God to reconcile the
whole world to himself (see Colossians
1:19–20). When they act according to
their calling, they point to and make
real for others the saving presence of
God.
A mystery of grace
The Church is a historical
community, with visible structures.
But it is not just a club or organization,
much less an optional add-on to the
saving work of Jesus. No, the Church
is a mystery, a gift from the heart of
God. In John’s Gospel, when Jesus
hung upon the cross and his side was
pierced with a lance, blood and water
flowed out. Scripture scholars tell
us the blood and water, symbolizing
Eucharist and Baptism, signify the
birth of the Church.
In the scriptures, the early
Christian community is depicted as a
sign and instrument of grace from the
day of Pentecost onward. The Acts of
the Apostles and the letters of St. Paul
attest to the Church as a community
marked by gifts of the Spirit,
fearless witness, generous sharing
of possessions, devotion to common
prayer, and hope and joy even in the
midst of adversity.
In the celebration of the liturgy,
the Church realizes in a symbolic and
real way that its whole life and mission
are a gift of grace. The Eucharist is at
the heart of the mystery of the Church.
It is said that “the Eucharist makes
the Church,” because by sharing in
Christ’s Body and Blood we become
one with him. Therefore we are joined
as brothers and sisters to one another.
12 AIM
The Church
is a mystery,
a gift from
the heart of God.
We become what we eat and drink.
The Church becomes the sacrament of
Christ present in the world.
The Church and God’s kingdom
We h a v e c o n s i d e r e d h o w
believers mediate Christ’s presence to
one another. But the sacramentality
of the Church is not limited to how
we interact within the Christian
community. The Church exists for
those outside its visible borders too,
because the Kingdom of God is for all
people. The Church has a great (and
formidable) mission to be a sign and
instrument of grace—a sacrament—for
the world.
The fathers of the Second Vatican
Council knew the pitfalls of describing
the Church only by looking inward.
Therefore they decided to arrange
their teaching in both directions:
looking in, but also looking out. They
used the traditional teaching on the
Trinity as a model. This teaching is
divided into two parts: teaching about
the life of God ad intra (the inner
relationships of the Three Persons)
and teaching about the life of God ad
extra (the outer manifestations of the
Trinity in the world).
The result of their thinking was
that the Council produced two major
documents on the Church. Lumen
Gentium explores the mystery of
the Church from within, asking:
Who is this people of God? How are
we to understand ourselves? What
are our ministries and orders and
hierarchy all about? What does it
mean to be holy?
The other document on the
Church, The Pastoral Constitution
on the Church in the Modern World,
Gaudium et Spes, looks outward. It
addresses all people, not only those
who are members of the Church. It
explores the mystery of the Church
radiating outward to the whole
human race, in our common struggles
and hopes, triumphs and fears, as they
appear in the present age.
In Gaudium et Spes the mission
of the Church becomes very clear. The
Church does not exist alone or for its
own sake. Rather, it finds points of
connection with all people of good
will and rejoices in God’s work in
all of them. The Church proclaims
the good news of Jesus Christ as a
message of peace and reconciliation
intended for everyone.
A hopeful journey
The Second Vatican Council
described the Church not as “a perfect
society” but as a pilgrim people, always
in need of purification yet journeying
toward God’s future in hope. Do
sacraments embody hope? Certainly
they do. Each time a sacrament is
celebrated, it marks a new beginning.
A sacrament opens out upon God’s
future, and presses us forward, giving
strength for the journey ahead.

Un misterio de gracia
La Iglesia es una comunidad
histórica, con estructuras visibles.
Pero no es solo una organización o un
club, mucho menos un complemento
opcional de la obra salvífica de
Jesús. No, la Iglesia es un misterio,
un don del corazón de Dios. En el
Evangelio según san Juan, cuando
Jesús colgaba de la cruz y su costado
había sido atravesado por una lanza,
de su interior salió sangre y agua. Los
biblistas nos dicen que la sangre y el
agua, que simbolizan la Eucaristía y
el Bautismo, significan el nacimiento
de la Iglesia.
La Sagrada Escritura describe la
primera comunidad cristiana como un
signo e instrumento de gracia desde
el día de Pentecostés en adelante. Los
Hechos de los Apóstoles y las cartas
de san Pablo dan testimonio de la
Iglesia como una comunidad marcada
por dones del Espíritu, testigo
valiente, generosa al compartir los
bienes, devota con la oración común,
esperanzada y alegre incluso ante la
adversidad.
En la celebración de la liturgia,
la Iglesia comprende de manera
simbólica y real que toda su vida y
misión son un don de la gracia. La
Eucaristía está en el corazón del
misterio de la Iglesia. Se dice que
“la Eucaristía constituye la Iglesia”,
porque al participar del Cuerpo y de la
Sangre de Cristo nos convertimos en
uno con él. Por lo tanto nos unimos al
prójimo como hermanos y hermanas.
Nos convertimos en lo que comemos
y bebemos. La Iglesia se convierte en
el sacramento de Cristo presente en el
mundo.

cristiana. La Iglesia también existe
para quienes están fuera de sus límites
visibles, porque el Reino de Dios es
para todos. La Iglesia tiene la gran (y
formidable) misión de ser un signo e
instrumento de gracia, un sacramento,
para el mundo.
Los padres del Concilio Vaticano
II conocían los riesgos de describir la
Iglesia solo al mirar hacia el interior.
Por lo tanto decidieron ordenar su
aprendizaje en ambas direcciones:
buscando en el interior, pero también
en el exterior. Usaban la enseñanza
tradicional de la Trinidad como
modelo. Esta enseñanza se divide en
dos partes: enseñar sobre la vida de
Dios ad intra (las relaciones internas
de las Tres Personas) y enseñar
sobre la vida de Dios ad extra (las
manifestaciones externas de la
Trinidad en el mundo).
El resultado de su pensamiento
fue que el Concilio produjo dos
documentos importantes sobre la
Iglesia. Lumen gentium explora el
misterio de la Iglesia desde dentro,
preguntando: ¿Quién es el pueblo
de Dios? ¿Cómo nos comprendemos
a nosotros mismos? ¿De qué sirven
nuestros ministerios y órdenes y
jerarquía? ¿Qué significa ser santo?
El otro documento sobre la
Iglesia, la Constitución Pastoral sobre
la Iglesia en el Mundo Moderno,
Gaudium et spes, mira al exterior.
Se dirige a todas las personas, no
solo las que son miembros de la
Iglesia. Presenta el misterio de la
Iglesia, que irradia hacia toda la
raza humana, en nuestras luchas
y esperanzas comunes, nuestros
triunfos y miedos, como aparecen
en la era moderna.
En Gaudium et spes, la misión de
la Iglesia es muy clara. La Iglesia no
existe sola ni para su propio bien. Más
bien, encuentra puntos de relación con
todas las personas de buena voluntad
y se regocija en la labor de Dios en
todos ellos. La Iglesia proclama la
Buena Nueva de Jesucristo como
mensaje de paz y reconciliación
dirigido a todos.
Un camino esperanzador
El Concilio Vaticano II describió
la Iglesia no como una “sociedad
perfecta” sino como un pueblo
peregrino, siempre necesitado de
purificación pero viajando hacia
el futuro de Dios en esperanza.
¿Representan los sacramentos la
esperanza? Sin duda sí. Cada vez que
se celebra un sacramento, se marca
un nuevo comienzo. Un sacramento
se abre al futuro de Dios y nos ayuda
a avanzar, dándonos fortaleza para el
camino por delante.

And a Child Shall Lead
with Them:
Mentoring Children and Youth in Liturgical Ministry
by
Donna M. Eschenauer
I
t is a common misconception that children are the future
of the Church. While I understand the premise behind this
sentiment, it is important to realize that through Baptism,
children are the Church now. Within the Church, children
have played a meaningful part in the liturgy throughout our
history (see Mark Searle’s essay in Children in the Assembly of
the Church, Liturgy Training Publications, 1992). Effectively,
as the baptized, they play an important role in the liturgical
life of the Church. Moreover, liturgy, the summit and source
of parish life, is the primary place for formation in Catholic
Christian identity. Therefore, children, first and foremost as
members of the liturgical assembly, and secondly as liturgical
ministers, are formed in a way of life that is rooted in their
Baptism. In this regard, the witness and guidance of the adult
community is indispensible for showing children how to pray the
prayer of the Church, and how to serve the liturgical assembly.
For more than twenty years I worked in a vibrant parish and
had the privilege of participating in practically every aspect of
parish life, particularly in liturgical and catechetical ministries.
During this time the pastoral staff, in collaboration with the
liturgy committee, worked tirelessly to avoid compromising
liturgical principles for the sake of any faction of the parish’s
life. It was our intent to value every culture, age group, and
special need, thus appropriating the liturgy to meet particular
circumstances at times.
With this as the backdrop, the purpose of this article is to
demonstrate how one particular parish effectively communicated
the profound message of the liturgical documents and prepared
liturgies that reflected the deep meaning of an assembly
at prayer, while at the same time inviting children to
participate appropriately in many liturgical
ministries.

The liturgy committee
One notable aspect of our success
was the formation of the parish
liturgy committee. This committee
comprised members of the pastoral
staff, both clergy and lay, who
demonstrated expertise with regard to
liturgy and sacraments. In addition,
a select group of parishioners was
invited to take diocesan-sponsored
courses in liturgy and sacraments,
which enabled them to serve on this
committee more effectively. Members
of the committee represented the
catechumenate, readers, extraordinary
ministers, hospitality ministers, ushers,
musicians, and children. The committee
gathered monthly to prepare the
liturgy for Sunday Eucharist as well as
the feasts and seasons of the liturgical
year. Significantly, ongoing education
was an integral part of the committee’s
tasks. Prior to the implementation
of the Third Edition of the Roman
Missal, for example, time was set aside
to study, reflect upon, and discuss
various liturgical documents and
commentaries. The result was a smooth
transition to the revisions of texts and
practices.
Of particular interest to this
article, one of the goals of the liturgy
committee was to avoid some of
the pitfalls associated with Masses
with children and youth. In liturgical
ministry with children and youth,
well-intentioned adults often feel the
need to “showcase” the young, having
them do everything from greeting
the people as they enter the worship
space to proclaiming the readings to
bringing up the gifts. This is a major
disadvantage! When the young people
in the assembly do everything, we
run the risk of the adults being mere
spectators or, worse yet, monitors
during the liturgy. At best, children and
youth can benefit from the witness and
guidance of adults. In turn, children
and youth can recognize their own
gifts for liturgical ministry.
Guidelines and principles
The Directory for Masses with
Children (DMC) prepared by the
Congregation for Divine Worship
guided our parish in preparing
liturgies and organizing ministries
with children. Although promulgated
in 1973, this document continues to
serve as a valuable resource when
used as a supplement to the General
Instruction of the Roman Missal (2011)
and other conciliar and post-conciliar
documents on the liturgy. The directory
presents principles and guidelines
for adaptation when celebrating the
liturgy with children of catechetical
age, but can also be pertinent with
regard to youth. Key to understanding
any adaptations for liturgy with
children (and youth) is that the liturgy
not be different from the Order of Mass
celebrated with the Sunday assembly
(DMC 21). In addition, liturgy is always
the action of the entire assembly, and
while children may take part in some
of the ministries, the adults present are
to be active participants in the Mass
and not acting as monitors (DMC 24).
One very successful practice was the
formation of a Family Mass Committee.
This group of adults, in collaboration
with the liturgy committee, organized
liturgical ministries with children
and youth extremely well. Adults
and children served together as
ministers of hospitality or greeters
as the assembly gathered. Adults
trained youth as readers, and at
certain Masses, one adult and one
adolescent proclaimed the readings.
Children of various ages took part in
the procession of gifts along with some
adults. Talented young people were
trained to proclaim the psalm in song.
High school–aged youth took part in
diocesan training that enabled them
to serve as extraordinary ministers of
the Eucharist. Children, youth, young
adults, and adults served in one or more
of the many choirs. On some occasions
the Mother and Daughter Choir or
the Men and Boys Choir enhanced
the liturgy. In other words, we aimed
to avoid putting children on display
at Mass with the adults looking on.
Significantly, children and youth need
to experience the adult community
fully participating in the liturgy as well
as serving the community in liturgical
ministry. It is important to note that
these same principles were reflected
in, for example, the celebration of first
sacraments and Masses celebrated with
school children, special-needs children,
and graduates.
Membership in the assembly
During my years in pastoral
ministry, Children in the Assembly of
the Church, edited by Eleanor Bernstein,
csj, and John Brooks-Leonard, served
as a terrific commentary. This collection
of essays explores the topic of children
and liturgy in a very profound and
thought-provoking way. The collection
highlights the deep reality that children
are members of the assembly, and as
such may engage in liturgical ministry.
I often reflect upon my own experience
of singing in church choirs from an
early age and proclaiming the readings
as an adolescent. I am convinced that
this participation prepared the way
for my enthusiasm for liturgy and
ministry.
To those who serve in parish
ministry: Be open to the profound
impact children and youth can have
when invited to serve in the liturgical
ministry of the Church. But most
importantly, it is the adult community
that can have a meaningful impact on
children and youth through their own
participation in the liturgy. Mentoring
children and youth in liturgical
ministry is teaching in the richest sense
of the word. In other words, teaching in
and through participation in liturgical
ministry is a way of passing on the
Church’s memory that nurtures the
new life that was born at the font.

AIM: When did music become part of
your life?
CJ: I don’t remember life without
music. My grandmother had a hifi in her house, which we did not. I
also remember putting on my cowgirl
outfit and entertaining everyone by
singing along with Pearl Bailey’s “Two
to Tango” in front of the TV screen.
My father played the violin, so there
was always music at home.
AIM: What about music in school?
CJ: I attended daily all-school
morning Masses in grade school. I
was enamored of the chant sung by
the choir of fourth-to-eighth graders.
I learned the music very early, and
learned to name the modes. I’d skip
home for lunch singing some Kyrie
as loudly as I could. The local Jewish
butcher would stand outside his shop
waiting for me, to enjoy what I was
singing. I definitely came to music
through the Church.
AIM: Did you join the choir?
CJ: Yes. A priest noticed this loud
singing voice in the primary grades,
and said I should take piano lessons
from one of the sisters. We couldn’t
afford to buy a piano at home, so I took
lessons in the convent and practiced
in the third-grade classroom. Sister
didn’t teach me actual pitches, but

only fingerings. Eventually I started
taking lessons from another teacher.
Piano lessons started and stopped, but
I was always singing.
AIM: And did you play in the church?
CJ: When our organist had an accident
that severed some tendons, the pastor
said, “Christine can play.” So every day
from sixth grade through high school I
earned a dollar a Mass! In high school
I’d play morning Mass, get on the
school bus, and go to school. Actually
I sang and accompanied myself, and
learned skills like transposition. Most
of this was pre-Vatican II.
AIM: Did you go on to study church
music?
CJ: I didn’t train in church music,
but I’ve felt a debt to the grounding I
received there. In high school the priest
who conducted the glee club took us to
Johnstown to hear the Tamburitzans
from Duquesne University, an Eastern
European folk ensemble. He planted
the seed that I could do that someday.
Since the members of the group got
a full scholarship, it was attractive.
Dad was a steelworker and money
was always tight. Going to college
was a far-off dream. When my high
school received information about
Tamburitzans’ auditions, I applied and
was chosen!

AIM: How did your vocational call
take shape?
PN: A lot of my call to priesthood came
through liturgy and liturgical music.
I was born and raised and educated
Catholic up through college. But it was
when I went to the University of Illinois
in Urbana to begin graduate work in
physics and connected with the Newman
Center there that I got very interested in
liturgy and liturgical music.
AIM: How so?
PN: I had done some liturgical music
as a child. I attended Covington Latin
School for high school and was in
the bishop’s choir there. This was just
after Vatican II and we still used male
trebles. I’d always been fascinated by
music; it’s a minor disappointment
to me that I never learned to play an
instrument. So I started singing again
at U of I, studied voice for a bit, and
did a lot of choral singing. I served
on a liturgy committee and learned
about liturgy. I also got involved with
the National Association of Pastoral
Musicians. I remember a convention
at St. Joseph’s in Rensselaer, Indiana,
and encountering people like Lucien
Deiss. I also did a lot of reading and
learning about what the liturgical
action was.

AIM: So being a musician was part of
your formation?
PN: I wasn’t a musician in the
standard sense; a lot of my way in
was through text. Discovering the
power of language paired with music
and encountering the liturgy through
them helped me encounter God.
Eventually it attracted me to think
seriously about full-time ministry
in the Church. The standard route in
physics was to finish the Ph.D., hop
on the post-doc carousel for a bit,
and then get a faculty position. I
couldn’t see how I was going to go for
training in ministry in that scenario.
My beginning and early experience
links me to lay ministry. I love being
a priest, but feel strongly connected to
lay ministers and how they shape the
life and spirit of the Church.
AIM: How did it end up working out?
PN: As a grad student I was a research
assistant and then got a job teaching
at Eastern Illinois University. There I
really learned the craft of teaching.
I discovered I was pretty good at
teaching and very passionate about
it. A lot of those skills from liturgical
ministry transferred. Whether I was a
cantor or physics teacher, there was a
lot of overlap.
AIM: When did you go to seminary?
PN: When I knew I could live my
life as an educator, not a researcher,

AIM: You went to Duquesne and
performed with the group?
CJ: Yes, I worked on an education
degree, traveling with the group
performing 120 shows a year. We
toured the U.S., Canada, South/Central
America, plus the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe. I learned much about
ethnic musical styles and languages.
AIM: After graduation?
CJ: I actually thought maybe I should
sing on Broadway! But instead I
stayed at Duquesne as a musicianship
assistant teaching solfège to
undergrads. I specialized in singing
contemporary art music with the
orchestra. The conductor wanted me to
go to Europe to study voice in Vienna,
but I needed financial support. My
supervising professor was translating
a Hungarian music pedagogy book
about the Kodály system of music
education. He’d give me his English
translation to check, and that’s when I
got hooked on Kodály pedagogy.

mailing about fellowships at the
Kodály Musical Training Institute for
a program that included one year’s
study in the U.S. (Boston), a second
in Hungary, and a third teaching in
a pilot program back in the U.S. I
thought that if I got to Hungary I could
travel easily to Vienna to study voice.
I applied for that fellowship and got
it! My Duquesne training had put me
ahead of my classmates, so essentially
I was able to have directed studies in
both conducting and solfège.
AIM: What about your time in

and translate them from English to
Hungarian. She taught me to think
logically as a pedagogue: What do I
want to say? What is the right answer?
What could be the wrong answers?
How could I correct the errors?
AIM: That method does sound logical.
CJ: One of its main tenets is that you
build in success for the children. You
should teach in such a way that they
almost can’t get it wrong. You lead
children to their knowledge through
singing. The entire time in Hungary I
was able to teach as well as conduct a
children’s choir. I also got to conduct at
the Liszt Academy, the first American
to do so. It turned out I never studied
voice in Vienna! The Hungarian culture
truly valued teachers, who always
made sure their performing skills were
well honed. A favorite Kodály quote
of mine is, “A country should be more
concerned about who is the music
teacher in the village than who is the
conductor of the national orchestra.
The bad conductor will be quickly
found out. That teacher can be there for
thirty years, killing off the love of music
for thirty classes of pupils.” I must say
that living in communist Hungary also
made me appreciate our great freedom
to worship here in the U.S.
AIM: Then you returned to Boston?
CJ: Actually, the Tamburitzans were on
tour in Paris over Christmas so I joined
them there for two weeks. The Duquesne
music dean accompanied them, and
told me he was creating a new faculty
position in solfège. I was interviewed
and hired on the spot! We were able to
negotiate a release from my contracted
third year in Boston. I started teaching
voice classes and solfège in 1972,
but subsequently taught many
different subjects during my fortyone years at Duquesne. I chaired the
music education department for two
decades, and was director of choral
organizations for my final decade.
In 1986 I became the artistic director
of the Children’s Festival Chorus of
Pittsburgh. The chorus board agreed
to give the program an educational
component and provide a laboratory
experience chorus for pre-service
teachers at Duquesne.
AIM: Your method book, When We
Sing, came from all these experiences?
CJ: Yes, because they all are integrated
for me. Church music, education,
languages, folk music, teaching,
freedom to worship, freedom to create
a children’s choir program—I can’t
separate one from the other.
AIM: What do you hope to accomplish?
CJ: It’s summed up in the last section
of the video component. It’s not about
perfection, but the process. I hope to
inspire choir leaders—regardless of
their own musical training—to treat
young choir singers with optimism
and respect for their potential,
realizing that if we present concepts
for children carefully, they are very
capable of becoming vocally skilled,
while simultaneously growing in
spiritual understanding. Music is that
vehicle for growth.

continued from page 17
that opened me to thinking about
dedicating my life to ministry with a
religious order specifically dedicated
to university teaching. The Jesuits,
of course, were at the forefront. After
I finished my dissertation, I went
to the Jesuit novitiate near Detroit,
then to Loyola Chicago, and studied
philosophy and theology in a program
called First Studies. Now, Jesuit
formation is an extended process,
so I did three years of apostolic
work, teaching university physics in
Cincinnati. Then I went to Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and began my M.Div.
at Weston School of Theology, now
part of Boston College.
I’m constantly
looking for words
that help people pray;
words that can
express in a new way,
or undiscovered way,
what is this great
Mystery we’re
caught up in.
AIM: How was that time of education
and formation?
PN: It was a great place for me because
it was connected with Harvard
Divinity School and Boston College.
I had excellent teachers for my
theology study, but at that time, the
program in liturgy was a bit limited,
so I went back to Chicago and did a
year at Catholic Theological Union,
and had a number of fine teachers in
scripture and liturgy there. That was
the end of my formal education . . . I
used to tell my nephews I was in the
thirty-seventh grade! I was ordained
in 1999.
AIM: How did you begin writing
hymn texts?
PN: It was because my way into
liturgy was through text. Sometimes
I wrote for particular occasions
within the Jesuit community, or for
a particular event we shared with
another group. One text that I wrote
as an ordination anthem—“A Day
for Rejoicing”—has been adopted
by CTU as their graduation anthem!
I understand it’s sung every June.
I’d met Rudy Marcozzi, a music
professor at Roosevelt University in
Chicago. He and I became friends,
Invierno/winter
2014
and he wrote the tune for “A Day for
Rejoicing.” It’s what I think of as the
ideal hymn tune: accessible on first
hearing, with a natural connection
to the text and great forward motion.
It’s user-friendly for the assembly, yet
interesting enough that it doesn’t get
hackneyed after a couple of uses.
AIM: And your connection with WLP?
PN: I was a guest presider at
Ascension Parish in Oak Park, Illinois.
I connected there with Mary Beth
Kunde-Anderson from WLP. I’m not
sure how the subject came up, but
she asked me to send her some hymn
texts; she subsequently recommended
I work with editor Alan Hommerding.
AIM: What prompts or inspires new
texts?
PN: One big locus or place I find
inspiration is in preaching. I would
be preparing a homily for a particular
Sunday and be reflecting on the
scriptures, and I’d try to hang words
on particular ideas. From that would
sometimes come a hymn text. Two
good examples are “Sinners Loved by
God” and “A New Passover,” both now
with tunes by Jonathan Kohrs. “A New
Passover” came from working on a
Holy Thursday homily. Its core is that
in our Eucharist, the Exodus isn’t just
remembered, it’s real again. “Sinners”
came from reflecting on what you get
when you probe down to the nucleus
of what it means to be Christian.
This insight was echoed in the nowfamous interview with Pope Francis.
For me, there’s a necessity in being
balanced between acknowledging that
I’m a sinner, but one whom God is
passionately in love with. That reality
has its own set of challenges, and I
found myself writing a challenging
text. It’s not an easy text or reality
to live out. I found Jonathan’s tune
for that text very insightful. I wrote
the text in a common/regular meter
(8787D), and envisaged a foursquare
presentation. Jonathan’s tune is very
lyrical and evocative and it took me a
while, but the more I listened the more
grace and depth I found in it. Since I
hear word accent patterns more than
specific melodies, I was delighted by
his music.
AIM: Are there new texts on the
horizon?
PN: A lot of my newer texts came from
my experience of Jesuit tertianship,
a period of renewal, coming back to
the heart of Ignatian spirituality. I
take very seriously that there are a
lot of texts out there, so a lot of my
work ends up on the cutting room
floor. “It’s already been said—and
better” is my most frequent selfcritique. I’m constantly looking for
words that help people pray; words
that can express in a new way, or
undiscovered way, what is this great
Mystery we’re caught up in. What is
this pilgrimage upon which we walk;
how do we describe it, how do we
support each other, how do we hand
it on to a new generation?
AIM: Amen!

has deftly arranged six
Christmas carols for piano
in the first volume of Child of Hope:
Christmas Carols for Piano. Each carol
has been flavored with extended and
jazz harmonies. “Lo, How a Rose E’er
Blooming” begins with traditional
harmony and slowly adds jazz
harmonies before modulating. “Good
Christian Friends, Rejoice” has a
gentle lilt and a quixotic modulation.
“Still, Still, Still” is a warm setting
of the familiar Austrian carol. The
beginning of “Angels We Have Heard
on High” invokes chimes in the left
hand and later a jazz stride before
modulating. “Silent Night,” which
begins with hazy whole-tone chords,
has a mysterious quality. The final
piece is an arrangement of Paul
Tate’s best-selling “Christmas Hymn.”
Written for the intermediate pianist,
this collection is perfect for preludes
during the Christmas season. Look for
Volume 2 soon!

he first book of non-seasonal or hymnbased repertoire for the Feet Don’t Fail Me
Now series is here in the fifth volume. WLP
has renewed its relationship with composer
Robert Hilf, who wrote for the Consoliere series a
number of years ago. Pianists becoming organists
will find this volume of P.O.P. (Preludes/Offertories/
Postludes) music to be accessible and engaging.
It features everything from the tranquil “In Green
Pastures” to an exuberant “Fanfare” with some
variation-form pieces (“Offertoire” and a “Theme
and Variations” on an original melody) alongside a
playful “Fiesta” and a swing-style “Spiritual” (which
is based on “Wade in the Water”). Some pieces are for manuals only, with a few
having a very basic and easy pedal part. To add a bit of challenge, an “Aria” for
pedal solo concludes the book. The imaginative variety of styles combined with
their usefulness will make this a book that even more advanced organists will
want to have around.

Purified and Enlightened: RCIA Sessions for Lent
by
jerry galipeau
A
s the general editor of WLP’s
Fountain of Life series,
I have had the pleasure of
editing the work of many
of today’s RCIA practitioners. Purified
and Enlightened: RCIA Sessions for
Lent is one of the most helpful and
user-friendly resources for Christian
initiation I have seen in recent years.
Mary Birmingham brings her decades
of hands-on parish experience leading
the RCIA to this book. The Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults makes it
clear that the period of purification and
enlightenment—the Lenten season—
is a time when formal catechesis comes
to a close and a forty-day period
of immediate preparation for the
initiation sacraments unfolds. In this
book, Mary suggests beginning each
session with the celebration of evening
prayer (all texts provided), helping
set a prayerful and reflective tone.
Using solid principles of adult faith
formation, Mary provides excellent
background and presentation
materials for the catechist. The
enclosed CD-ROM contains all of
the handouts for the sessions, as
well as PowerPoint® presentations
for each session. This book is highly
mystagogical in its approach. There
are sessions to prepare for and reflect
upon the rite of election and all three
scrutinies. The session to help prepare
catechumens and candidates for the
celebration of the Triduum will help
set a prayerful and anticipatory tone
as the Triduum approaches. This book
is a “must have” for RCIA ministers!

A
aron Thompson’s talents as
a composer, performer, and
clinician leave a lasting
impression on anyone
fortunate enough to experience a
performance, hear one of his many
recordings, or attend one of his varied
workshops. Aaron is an outstanding
vocalist and a skilled instrumentalist
and accompanist on piano and guitar.
He studied trumpet performance in
college and welcomes any opportunity
to perform as a soloist or with
ensemble.
Aaron’s writing is constantly
evolving, whether singing of personal
life experiences as a father, husband,
or Catholic music minister, or setting
a meaningful scripture passage to a
melody, groove, or harmonic scheme
to convey an insight to his audience or
congregation. He has just completed
his second WLP CD with the release
of the EP Alive in Me. Many thanks
to Ed Bolduc for his producing and
arranging skills in making this Aaron’s
finest CD yet.
“Go Now” is a vibrant song
inspired by the passage from
Matthew 28 that remind us to love
our neighbor—and our enemy—as
we make disciples in the world.
Your ensemble can sing the catchy
choral refrain unaccompanied, with
ad lib percussion and solo vocal
improvisation.
The spirited rendering of Psalm
72, “Every Nation on Earth,” has a
fun syncopated accompaniment that
supports the clear lyrical tune and
vocal harmony line. Ideal for use
during Christmas and Epiphany.
Motivated by images found in the
Song of Songs, Aaron has crafted a
lovely ballad in “Set Me as a Seal.”
This is one of his most striking
melodies, portraying Christ’s love for
the Church.
In the hymn “Stain Me,” Aaron
writes of the Eucharist that strengthens
the mystical Body of Christ, and
reminds all people to give thanks for
God’s presence alive within us.
A highly effective lead guitar
intro outlines the diminished chord
and sets the mood in “Salt,” with its
message that no matter who or where
we are, we can be salt for the world.
Other titles include a Thomas
Jefferson arrangement of Aaron’s
setting of Psalm 93, “The Lord Is
King,” as well as a setting of Psalm
54, “The Lord Upholds My Life.”

for your review
Craig played “This Is Your
Justice” in the WLP booth
at LA Congress this year,
and people passing by
couldn’t help but join in
on the repeated “This is
your justice” in the verse.
Take a look at the whole
text online; it is quite rich
and right out of the Advent
scriptures.
The companion Advent
Penitential Act can
be adapted for other
invocations, and helps
the assembly pray with
its instinctive repeated
response. Both pieces are
recorded on the CD I Am
the Way (wlp 008390).

medieval Latin songs published in
1582, where it has a strong trochaic
beat of long and short notes in pairs.
This characteristic gives the concepts
of the text a solid musical framework
for assembly singing. This version
of the tune is called corde natus,
reflecting that Victorian scholar John
Mason Neale joined the ancient hymn
“Of the Father’s Love Begotten” to
this melody.

esus Christ, the Long-Awaited”
is a new hymn text that pulls
together many images of
Christ heard in the readings
of the Christmas season and the first
weeks of Ordinary Time—the season
formerly known as Epiphany. The
word epiphany means manifestation or
showing, and events such as the angels
singing at Jesus’ birth, his baptism by
John, and the miracle at Cana revealed
that Jesus was the Son of God.
Poet Alan Hommerding has
woven these events into a hymn that
praises Christ as both the long-awaited
and the eternal; each verse concludes
with “evermore and evermore.” Verse
1 recalls Christ as Emmanuel, Wordmade-flesh, Morningstar, and Son of
God. John the Baptist is next heard
as verse 2 explains the baptism and
squeezes in Christ’s call to his disciples:
“Follow me.” The wedding at Cana
is then described, and we are called
to give glory to God for the celestial
feast we share in the Eucharist. To
conclude, verse 4 gives more titles for
Christ, reminding us that he is part of
the Trinity, to whom we sing praise
evermore and evermore.
This hymn was written to go with
the hymn tune divinum mysterium,
familiar as the companion to “Of the
Father’s Love Begotten.” Jonathan
Kohrs has united these word with
that melody in an anthem for choir
and handbells, “Jesus Christ, the
Long-Awaited” (wlp 005903). As WLP
editors were considering hymns for
the new One in Faith hymnal, we
thought that these words might sing
well with something sturdier and less
ethereal than divinum mysterium. We
turned to a version of that tune found
in Piae Cantiones, a collection of late-

Interestingly enough, the visit of the
magi is not among the manifestations
recounted in the hymn. But it is a
great hymn to sing in those January
days when the details of the Christmas
story are still vividly in mind, and the
Gospel readings are setting the scene
for Christ to be made known and begin
his ministry. Take the opportunity to
savor these thoughts and ponder them
in your heart while singing “Jesus
Christ, the Long-Awaited.”

COMMENTARY
I
’ve been thinking about the way Christmas is celebrated in our culture. The preparations begin months
in advance in the retail world. The emphases are on decorations and gift-giving. The ads don’t start on
TV quite as early, but sooner or later people are assaulted with choices for what to give their loved ones.
How about a new car with a super-sized red ribbon on top? If you really want someone to know the depth of
your love, how about the gift of a diamond bracelet, a vacation in the Caribbean, or the latest and greatest
tech device for searching the Internet with faster speed? How did the celebration of “God became flesh and
dwelt among us” become a time to give one another gifts?
It seems the preparations for Christmas in the secular world are different from the preparations in the
religious world. But it’s really one world, so how do we integrate the Christian meaning of the season with
everything our culture throws at us? We have to let Advent be Advent, to create a time and place for people
to experience the meaning of Advent, to ask the questions of Advent. We have to allow the meditative
qualities of waiting and longing to touch people’s hearts.
People still need a Messiah “to rend the heavens and come down.” We still need to be watchful and
alert, for life is fragile and we do not know when it will end. We need these four Sundays to remember the
faithfulness of God, the mystery of the Incarnation, and the promise that Christ will come again. We need to
recognize our own need for a Savior and to invite that Savior into our hearts to “keep us firm to the end.”

Second Sunday of Advent
Lectionary 55 m arch 2014
COMMENTARY
O
ur Liturgy of the Word for this Sunday begins, “Comfort, give comfort to my people.” Is there
any time of year more in need of comfort than December—the frenetic pace of shopping, cleaning,
decorating, baking, wrapping, and more have many people longing to stop, take a deep breath, and
relax. We can provide that place of comfort through music, environment, lighting, and texts. Only then can
people hear the message of the season.
Advent asks us to look beyond our own needs. How do we “prepare the way of the Lord”? We may think
that holiness and repentance are all about our own internal conduct: How often do we pray? How close do
we feel to God? But there are external actions to look at as well. Psalm 85 tells us, “Kindness and truth shall
meet; justice and peace shall kiss.”
How do we help people examine their “kindness quotient”? Are we living lives that are true, true to God
and true to ourselves? Are we just in the ways we treat people? Are we just in the ways we use the gifts
given to us, the treasure that is ours? (Here is a good question: Do we own our treasure or does it own us?)
Are we at peace with all those around us?
People usually spend time with family during the holidays. Sometimes we can be the least kind with
those who know us best. We take these relationships for granted and don’t go out of our way to be
considerate. Is this the year to put aside resentments and make peace with an estranged relative?
The liturgical challenge is to let the Advent questions circulate without an overlay of judgment or
moralizing. We create the safe space so people can answer the questions honestly.

Immaculate Conception of
the Blessed Virgin Mary
Lectionary 6895 m arch 2014
COMMENTARY
T
he Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a holy day of obligation. December 8 falls on
a Monday in 2014, but it is still a day of obligation. The Immaculate Conception does not fall under
the “obligation is removed if it falls on a Saturday or Monday” rule. This day can only be superseded
by a Sunday of Advent. The Immaculate Conception is considered the patronal feast of the United States.
I encounter confusion every year about this day. The Gospel is the story of the angel Gabriel announcing
to Mary that she will be the mother of Jesus. Because of this Gospel and the proximity to Christmas, people
think we are celebrating the conception of Jesus in Mary. We are not. That feast is called the Annunciation
(“announcing”) and is celebrated on March 25, nine months before Christmas. This day celebrates her
conception. We celebrate Mary’s birth on September 8, nine months later.
We believe that Mary was conceived without any taint of original sin, making her the ideal mother for
Jesus. Because sin had no part of her, she was able to give herself completely to God: “May it be done to me
according to your word.” Mary is our model for saying yes to God.
She was chosen before she was born and conceived without sin. St. Paul tells us that we were also
chosen to be holy before the foundation of the world. Our search for holiness fits into our Advent themes.
Thus, on this holy day, we can continue to use the Sunday Advent ritual pattern we’ve been using for the
first two weeks of Advent with the addition of the Gloria and Marian hymns and texts.

Third Sunday of Advent
Lectionary 8
COMMENTARY
M
y liturgical interests began during the time after the Second Vatican Council, when people were
experimenting with this new liturgy in English. We had learned that purple was the liturgical color
for penance, and that both Advent and Lent were penitential seasons, so purple was to be worn. I
admit to being hazy about remembering all the details, but back then some liturgical scholar wrote about
the difference in the characters of these two seasons, and that dark blue was worn at one point in history for
Advent, and before long many parishes bought dark blue vestments for Advent. Then the U. S. Conference of
Bishops had to tell everyone to go back to purple; the rule had not been changed. Some people “reconciled”
the problem by distinguishing between red-purple for Lent and blue-purple for Advent. This answer did not
include the baby blue vestments some had begun using.
The characters of Advent and Lent are not the same. Advent is a time for “devout and joyful
expectation,” say the liturgical documents. The pregnancy image is a good symbol for this time of year.
When a couple has been longing to start a family and have a child, they are filled with pleasure and delight
knowing a baby is coming at last. The anticipation grows as they prepare a room and purchase all the things
they will need to take care of a baby. They are filled with hopes and dreams about their future as parents
and about the life of this child.
We remember with wonder and awe that our God took on human flesh and walked among us. We
eagerly await the return of Christ at the end of time. We prepare again to welcome Christ into our own
hearts, rejoicing in the life we live with God.

Fourth Sunday of Advent
Lectionary 11
COMMENTARY
T
oday’s Gospel is the same as the Immaculate Conception Gospel, but we hear it in a different context.
We are three days away from Christmas Eve, from celebrating the birth of Christ in human form. Our
preparations for Christmas should be almost done. The liturgist’s and musicians’ preparations for
Christmas liturgies had better be done, too.
In the Church, Advent is supposed to be a time of joyful expectation. Don’t forget that for some people
it’s a time of anxiety and sadness. As much as we want to focus on the Christ part of Christmas, everyone
carries a lot of baggage with this celebration. The perfect Christmas from Hallmark and television is not
what many of us experience. Our childhood delight in Christmas may have faded away over time. How do
we help those who have been disillusioned by or are alienated from Christmas?
It helps to acknowledge the situation. There are the people whose circumstances have changed since last
Christmas: a loved one has died, a job was lost, a divorce took place, a relative can’t make it home this year,
or we’re the ones not making it home. There are people having financial difficulties, people who feel isolated,
people with illnesses, people at war and in prison—literally and figuratively. Can we write intercessions for
those who dread Christmas without making them maudlin or sappy? Can we encourage one another to keep
our eyes open for those who don’t seem very joyful and to reach out to them with encouragement?
Can we hold fast to the core of the season—a light has been born into this world, a light that dispels all
darkness, even the darkness of depression and disappointment. Can we wait in the blessed and joyful hope
for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ?

COMMENTARY
T
he Church holds a treasure trove of music for Christmas, from beloved hymns to cherished choral
music to newly composed songs that have the capacity to become favorites. I’m glad that new texts
and melodies continue to be written to celebrate the birth of Christ, but I don’t need a lot of new
songs to make Christmas feel like Christmas. I need “O Come all Ye Faithful” (appropriate for the entrance
procession), “Silent Night,” and “Joy to the World.” But that’s just me.
Christmas is a time for traditions. I would add “newfangled things” sparingly. I also think it’s the one time
of year when even the most non-musical congregation wants to sing the familiar Christmas songs. A twentyto thirty-minute sing-along before Mass is a popular way to avoid having to cram all the songs into one
liturgy. Lessons and Carols can be a preferred option. We started a Lessons and Carols service an hour before
Mass at my former cathedral parish because parking was difficult, and many people arrived that early to find
seating. We used a mix of congregational singing and choral anthems, both old and new, along with scripture
and poetry appropriate for the season.
I know at least four music directors who, upon starting ministry at new parishes, had to deal with the
parish tradition of a soloist for “O Holy Night.” In all four cases, a soprano had been singing this solo for more
years than anyone wanted to count, and few wanted to listen to it still. The desire to change this tradition was
strong. Music directors have to use their most finely tuned pastoral sense in choosing to alter or continue this
sort of custom. (Why is it always that song and [almost] always a soprano? It’s a Christmas mystery.)

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Lectionary 17
28 december 2014
COMMENTARY
T
he choice of readings for this Sunday in Year B may seem complex at first. There are first and second
readings and a psalm that can be used every year, or choices that would only be used for Year B. In
either case, the Gospel remains the same, the story of the presentation of baby Jesus in the temple
from the Gospel of Luke. Since we have been given the variety, I would use the ones appointed to Year B.
We take what we call the “Holy Family” as a model of family life, but we know next to nothing about
what that family life was like. We have only the story of the family going to Jerusalem at Passover when
Jesus was twelve years old. They start back home not realizing Jesus isn’t with the caravan, and they have
to go back to get him. The story could happen to a typical family today, or it could be the plot of a current
sitcom. The only other thing we know is that Jesus went home to Nazareth and was obedient to his parents.
Is that what makes a holy family, a family in which the children obey the parents? I hope there’s more to
holiness than obedience. I think each person has to ask, “What is holiness? How does one grow in holiness?”
and each family needs to ask, “In the real world today, what do we need to do to be holy? How can we
support one another in the lifelong quest for holiness?”
Be careful with any intercessions or blessings you use today. Families come in all sorts of configurations.
A mom and dad and two kids isn’t the norm anymore, if it ever was. Don’t use words or images that limit
possibilities.

Mary, the Holy Mother of God
Lectionary 18
COMMENTARY
O
n this Octave of Christmas, we honor the motherhood of Mary. Mary’s role in salvation history was
to be the God-bearer, and the Church has celebrated liturgical feasts honoring her motherhood since
early times. The Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D. defined Mary as the Mother of God. “The word
became flesh,” through Mary’s acceptance and the work of the Holy Spirit, “and dwelt among us.” Mary is
known by many titles, but “Mother of God” is one we hear in all of our Eucharistic Prayers.
There could be more people who want to attend Mass today because it is New Year’s Day rather than
because it is a Marian feast. They want to pray for God’s blessing on the year to come. Prayers for the
New Year can be incorporated into the liturgy but shouldn’t overshadow the main thrust of this feast day
honoring Mary. Christmas themes can easily fit with the motherhood of Mary.
Mary is our model for living a faith-filled life. She “kept all these [amazing] things” she heard, “reflecting
on them in her heart.” This specific trait of Mary would be a good thing for us to imitate. Much of the work
of Christmas should be winding down. We need to take a breath and consider what God might be teaching
us throughout this Incarnation season. It is too easy to let “being in charge” overshadow our own personal
prayer lives. We need to reflect in our hearts on the liturgical events of these weeks. What words, phrases,
and images are sticking with us? Pondering them should lead to insights about our own lives, our ministry,
and our relationships.

Epiphany of the Lord
Lectionary 20
COMMENTARY
T
he feast of the Epiphany celebrates the coming of the one who is a light to all nations, even those
who are considered Gentiles. We are “coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners.” Epiphany
honors ecumenism. It also teaches us that things don’t always happen as we expect them to happen.
The Jews expected a messiah who would save them from the oppressive rule of another nation. They
didn’t expect a savior who would redeem all of humankind. They expected a political kingdom here and
now, not a revolution that begins in people’s hearts and leads to a heavenly kingdom.
What are the expectations we carry with us throughout the year? Do we expect “the same old, same
old,” or are we open to something new, an innovation, an improvement?
I’ve found that the longer I’m in the same job, the more things I take for granted. I know what to expect,
and I know how to deal with the problems and glitches that will occur. It’s very difficult to see things
differently, to hear a new idea from a new person, to imagine an unfamiliar course of action. Are we ready
for someone from the East to come into our lives and turn something upside down?
We need to learn when “we’ve always done it that way” is a good thing because it is a treasured
tradition, and when it is a bad thing because it’s stale and hackneyed. Are we tempted to repeat from last
year’s files, or do we try to look at each week’s readings with fresh eyes? Do we examine and evaluate
recent liturgical music, or do throw it on the recycling pile? Do we indulge in our usual prejudices, or are
we receptive to challenging ourselves to change?

Baptism of the Lord
Lectionary 21
COMMENTARY
P
arish baptisms can be ragtag events involving numerous children to be baptized, large gatherings
of family members and guests who all want a clear view of the font, and a harried presider who has
already celebrated two Masses that morning and is trying to distinguish the godparents from the
parents. I’ve wondered how to tame the chaos, and have come to the conclusion that it is in proportion to
the number of baptisms scheduled for that date and time. In larger parishes, it’s difficult to overcome.
I have this dream in which we celebrate a full-blown baptismal liturgy with good musicians, proclaimers
of the word, and attention to detail. My dream isn’t realistic on a Sunday afternoon in most parishes.
Liturgists, musicians, and presiders are tired from the morning Masses and could be anticipating a Sunday
evening Mass to come. It might work in a parish large enough to bring in a second team who hasn’t worked
yet that day. Would evening or Saturday morning baptisms make more sense?
In many parishes, someone sets up what is needed for the baptism, but the rest of the ritual is up to the
deacon or priest presider. Families are fortunate if he has the presence and skill to overcome the feeling of
an assembly line. There is no music or any other ministers. What if we at least had hospitality ministers who
could make the families feel welcome and gently “herd” them into the correct spots?
I’ve come to favor celebrating baptisms at Mass because of the full complement of ministers, including
the community gathered together for prayer. I know that’s impractical in larger parishes. How can we
enhance the total experience of this great sacramental moment?

COMMENTARY
S
ome of my liturgy friends would rather not have a parish liturgy committee. They have found that
the average parishioner does not have enough background to make appropriate suggestions. Then it
becomes uncomfortable to have to say no to an idea that may have been enthusiastically proposed.
I agree there is potential for conflict in an untrained liturgy committee, but being on a parish liturgy
committee is where I first discovered my love for preparing and coordinating liturgies. I was fortunate to
find a mentor in the parish staff member who knew what he was doing and was able to gently rein us in
when we strayed from good practices.
Caring for the liturgical life of a parish takes a great deal of effort. It is a good thing to have help,
whether it comes from individuals or from a committee. We don’t know whom God might be calling into the
liturgy/music field. We need to be open to inviting people to “come and see.”
It is also a benefit to train parishioners about the elements of good liturgy, the basics of the liturgical
documents, and the rhythms of the liturgical year. Starting a study group or book club that looks at sound
liturgical principles can become a training ground that leads to deepening people’s appreciation for and
knowledge of quality liturgy. It could even happen that nurturing people’s love for the liturgy may lead to
their ability to be of greater assistance as parish liturgical volunteers. People who are hungry to know why
we do something a certain way or what the history of a certain practice is have shown me the value of
liturgical catechesis, both to the person on the learning end and to what they teach me as we work together.

COMMENTARY
I
don’t remember when I learned that if you have a disagreement with or feel anger toward someone, you
should take the person aside and talk with him or her about it privately. You don’t yell at a person or
start an argument in front of others. I don’t remember how old I was when I learned that anger isn’t a
sin, but what you do with the anger may be a sin. I learned that if the anger is going to lead to a scene, I
should say, “I have to leave now. We’ll talk about this later.”
I recently heard a story about a disagreement between an accompanist and a choir director. Both are
paid employees of the parish. The accompanist is the parish music director. She didn’t agree with the tempo
chosen by the choir director and yelled at her about it in front of the choir. Guess how the rest of the
rehearsal went. Guess how the choir felt about what they experienced.
I do remember “Choral Conducting 101,” in which our professor told us that the accompanist takes
the tempo from the director. I know this because in class as a conducting rookie, I let the piano begin the
introduction, and then I began conducting when it was time to bring in the choir. I received a very bad grade
for this. The lesson is seared in my brain.
I believe that adults should rarely yell at each other about anything. As soon as yelling begins, the
conversation is no longer one adult treating the other person as an equal. Yelling makes one person the
parent and the other person the child. Yelling is not the way to win an argument or make a point. In today’s
vernacular, yelling is bullying.

COMMENTARY
I
’ve been thinking about the importance of the words of the Mass, and the deep meaning they are
supposed to convey. But there are so many words that it can become a struggle to be attentive to all of
them. Whose mind doesn’t wander at one point or another during the Mass?
It can help if the texts of scripture and the Mass are used in our personal prayer. Meditating privately
on words and phrases when we have more time can make those words more meaningful when we come to
public prayer. The use of judicious silence during the liturgy also can help.
Sometimes we have silence in awkward places. Music that ends before the ritual action has concluded
can be problematic. I have experienced: processional music finishes before all of the people in the procession
have reached their destinations; a preparation of the gifts hymn or choral piece stops before the priest is
finished with the hand washing; the Lamb of God ends before the fraction rite actions are concluded; the
Communion music is delayed while extraordinary ministers of Communion or musicians receive Communion.
Musicians need to be able to “read” the restlessness in the room. They know when and how to continue the
music until the ritual action is completed. They can improvise on the piece of music, extending it as needed.
Take time to consider how the words, texts, music, and silence fit together at your usual parish Mass.
Are they in right proportion to one another? Do they seem to flow from one to another, or are there abrupt
transitions that seem jarring? What can you do to create smoother segues between the elements of the Mass?
The pieces may all be fine; the art is fitting them together into a pleasing whole.

COMMENTARY
T
oday’s reading from Job is difficult to pull off. After saying that life is drudgery and misery, he ends the passage with,
“I shall not see happiness again.” As a reader, I’m asking myself, “Where’s the good news I’m supposed to proclaim?”
Most readings that start out in a depressing fashion end on a note of hope. Not this one.
The proclaimer might be tempted to put a better face on it—surely Job didn’t mean it. Should I try to read it in an upbeat
way? Maybe if I read without much inflection it won’t sound so bad. Maybe I should read it faster than usual and get it
over with. These are not good ideas. The passage deserves to be proclaimed with a somber tone.
Haven’t we all felt like this sometimes? We have nights when we can’t sleep, times when our jobs seem like a grind or
our lives feel hopeless, times of disappointment or worry. This reading deserves to sound like what it says—to put you into
the feet of Job who suffered terrible events in his life. Job was wealthy with many children. He was considered blessed by
God. But then his wealth is taken away, his children are killed, and he develops boils on his body. It is understandable that
Job is in a deep depression. The reading is not cheerful. So, where is the hope?
I think the hope can be found in Psalm 147, the psalm for this day: “Praise the Lord, who heals the brokenhearted.” We
find the courage to meet the challenges in our lives by trusting in God. We rely on the goodness of the God who “rebuilds”
our lives, “binds up [our] wounds,” and “sustains the lowly.”

COMMENTARY
A
s we look toward Ash Wednesday, it may be a good time to think about simplicity. The next time
you drive up to the church building, pretend you are a stranger visiting the place for the first time.
What are the pros and cons of your parking lot? Are areas well defined and welcoming? Is it easy
to determine the main entrance?
Enter the building as if for the first time. What are your first impressions? How much clutter is in the
entry? Does everything that is in there need to be there? Is there a better way to organize what’s there? Are
things labeled and easy to find? What about signage and directions?
Do a similar examination of all the areas in church. We can become oblivious of disorder because we’re
used to it. We don’t even see it any more. Look with new eyes. Is the gathering space tidy and inviting?
What’s there that doesn’t need to be there? Is there furniture in the sanctuary that is never used? Are there
dying plants? Do the hymnals need repair? Is the music area organized? Become aware of the simplicity of
the space. What is needed, what is beautiful, and what is merely “taking up space”?
Lent is also a good time to think about cleaning the church as a preparation for Easter. Form a committee
of people who love to find dirt and eliminate it. Check the floors, the walls, the pews, the font, and other
furnishings. Clean the grime, get out the Murphy’s Oil Soap, wash what can be washed, and eliminate the
candle wax drippings. Pull out the ladder and check these hard-to-reach areas that collect spider webs. Try
to make the building spotless. Try to make it ready for the Easter festivities.
