LENT
12th March 2017
“Through his
Cross Christ
entered into his
glory. We are
already at this
point in Lent at
the heart of the
Paschal mystery.
The
catechumens,
having been
shown the
struggle
needed, are
pointed towards
their own exodus.
The disciples on
the mountaintop,
seeing Jesus
transfigured, are
encouraged for
the days when
they meet the
cross. We are all
called to holiness.
If we respond as
did Abraham and
Jesus, then we
will come to a
glorious
transfiguration.”

thirst. Today
occurs the first
scrutiny or
exorcism for the
catechumens. By
it they are being
prepared to
accept the Spirit.
Through that
Spirit the gift of
love is poured
into our hearts, a
gift bought for us
by the blood of
Christ. The prayer
that they grow in
wisdom and love
echoes the
readings, and
must still be the
prayer of al

RCIA: The third
Scrutiny of the
Catechumens
“Lazarus'
resurrection is a
figure and type of
Jesus'
resurrection, and
of our
resurrection first
to divine life in
Baptism and to
our definitive
resurrection at
the end of time:
The Gospel is a
call to a deeper
faith in the Spirit
living in us, giving
life to our mortal
bodies.
The catechumens
are presented
with the Creed In
the third week of
Lent and the
Lord's Prayer in
the coming week
after the third
scrutiny. Growth
in faith means a
deeper love
Ezekiel 37: 12-14
I shall put my spirit in you and
you will live.
Romans 8:8-11
Whoever does not have the Spirit
of Christ, does not belong to
Christ.
John 11:1-45
“I am the resurrection and the
life.” Jesus raises Lazarus from
the dead.
Psalm 129(130): With the Lord
there is mercy/ Out of the depths

Liturgy Notes for Lent
“Lent is a preparation for the celebration of
Easter” (General Norms for the Liturgical Year
and Calendar #27). “Lent is marked by two
themes, the baptismal and the penitential. By
recalling or preparing for baptism and by
repentance, this season disposes the faithful, as
they more diligently listen to the word of God
and devote themselves to prayer, to celebrate
the paschal mystery. The music for liturgy during Lent should reflect the baptismal and
penitential characteristics of the season. (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy # 109).
Lent is the season where God’s mercy and compassion is so eloquently presented in the
Lectionary readings. You can choose appropriate music from your hymnals or from the
many music resources that have been made available for the Jubilee Year of Mercy.
Judicious selection of music is important and not every hymn need speak of mercy. The
liturgy itself is a celebration of God’s abundant love and mercy.
PARTS OF THE MASS
 During Lent and to highlight the Jubilee Year of Mercy, the Penitential Rite can be
sung. There are various Mass settings which use either the Greek Kyrie Eleison or the
English Lord have mercy.
 The Gloria is omitted during Lent as it is festive in nature. It is sung for the evening
Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday and again at Easter.

Psalms for Lent
Instead of using one of the psalm selections given in the Liturgy Planner, seasonal
psalms can be used instead of the set psalm for the Sunday. You may wish to use the
same Lenten seasonal psalm for the entire season.
Psalm 50 (51) Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
(CWB1 202 /CWB2 92/ GA 40, 41 / G-USA /AOV 2 –21/ PFAT/ PSYA/ RPA /FIWS)
Psalm 90 (91) Be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble.
(CWB 203 / GA 52, 53 / G (USA)/PFAT /PSYA/ RPA/ FIWS)
Psalm 129 (130) With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption.
CWB 204 / GA 76,77/ G (USA)/PFAT/PSYA /RPA
Seasonal responses: Remember, O Lord your faithfulness and love. (CWB1 205, 206)
Check other settings for seasonal psalms from the Psalms Collections listed above.

The Gospel Acclamation. The Alleluia is not used in Lent either for Masses or the
Liturgy of the Hours. In this season of purification and conversion, the alleluia,
“which gives a glimpse of final destiny, is put aside, so that it can be taken up with
renewed joy at Easter.” 2
The Lenten Gospel acclamations are:
o Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
o Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, king of endless glory!
o Praise and honour to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
o Glory to you, Word of God, Lord Jesus Christ!

HYMNS
 The penitential character of Lent can be emphasised by careful choice of music.
 Aim for singing the parts of Mass.
 Be sparing the number of hymns you use.
 Consider silence at the Procession of Gifts and respond to the Presider’s Blessed are
you, Lord God of all creation……..
 Consider an organ postlude or silence after the final blessing and dismissal. This is
particularly effective for the Passion Sunday liturgy.
 Choose a couple of hymns or chants which can be used throughout the Lenten
season. This may include music that can be used on Good Friday.
 Some of the chants from Taizé or the Iona community can be used to great effect: O
Lord, hear my prayer; Jesus remember me, Bless the Lord, my soul (Taize); Wonder
and Stare; O Brother Jesus (Iona).
 Br Michael Herry fms has written a collection of chants for various occasions (Sing
Spirit, Sing Life!) Although out of print, the music is now available for free download.

A Prayer Seeking God
St Ambrose (339-397) is remembered as a prayerful, kind and holy person who had the
capacity to connect with the people. The following prayer is attributed to him:
O Lord
teach me to seek you,
and reveal yourself to me
when I seek you.
For I cannot seek you unless
you first teach me,
nor find you unless
you first reveal yourself to me.
Let me seek you in longing,
and long for you in seeking.
Let me find you in love,
and love you in finding.
