On the one hand, God is presented as being ever the same, constant and unchanging. Jesus, tempted in the desert, knows that he can rely on the Father’s love because that is what was written in ages past. In the structure of the liturgy, too, there is a comfort in how the readings are chosen: the first reading reflects the Gospel and the psalm works with the first reading. All of this shows a consistency across the testaments of salvation history. This can lull us into thinking that the constancy of God is all that matters, a constancy reflected in how we prepare the liturgy. Glenn CJ Byer has written widely on the liturgy. He earned a sacred liturgy doctorate (SLD) from San Anselmo in Rome in 1994. Co-author of Hospitality Basics (ocp.org/6147), he recently served as the associate publisher for Novalis in Toronto, Canada. On the other hand, as Christians steeped in continuity and the strength that comes from our tradition, the second truth can come as a bit of a shock. God is doing something new, and God challenges us to do likewise. The parable of the fig tree (Gospel, Third Sunday of Lent) makes this point clear. God’s patience is not idleness. God is constantly digging up around our roots and offering new experiences as food, all in an attempt to help us bear fruit where life is barren or, in the good times, to bear more and better fruit. Before we look at how we could sing new songs to reflect these truths, we, as pastoral musicians and liturgists, need to do a little gardening of our own. Some of the key pieces in our repertoires and some of our liturgical customs are like the fig tree, with layers of leaves gathered over the years. Take a look and see. Is this tree still bearing the best kind of fruit? Here are some questions to ask about our songs and our customs: • Does it use metaphors that are still clear and can be understood with little or no explanation? Or does it not reflect what we have learned since it was written? • Does it present an image of God and the Church that flows from the Scriptures? • Does it invite the whole community to unite? Does it invite reflection on one or more of the cultural groups that make up the neighborhood? • Does it support the spirit of liturgical celebration or at least of some moment of the liturgy? • Does it challenge us to serve at Mass and to go back to the world with Christ’s mission on our minds? Today’s Liturgy Lent • Easter Triduum • Easter 2016 16 Ash Wednesday 2/10/2016 year C MUSIC SUGGESTIONS One of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most popular songs is “Love Changes Everything.” Pope Francis has words for us along the same lines. In his first Angelus address on March 17, 2013, he stated, “Cardinal Kasper said that hearing the word ‘mercy’ changes everything.” With his thoughts in mind, let us prepare this holy season for our worshipping communities and ourselves. Please reread my letter on page 4 of this issue, especially the part about doing something new for Lent this year. That will prepare you for Glenn Byer’s article on the season (p. 16). For us musicians, doing something new might mean trying a new song. Spiritually it could mean trying to restore a broken relationship. The task of mercy and forgiveness can be extremely difficult. We are called to forgive so that we might be free. This is what Lent is about. In this extraordinary Holy Year of Mercy, consider “There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy” for the entrance procession. If you would like to try something new, consider “Ashes to Ashes,” an addition in Breaking Bread 2016 that is also featured in this issue (p. 30). There are verses for throughout all Lent as well as for today. Or you might consider using the refrain each Sunday after the collect and just before the readings begin. Where I serve, that’s when we seat the latecomers. There is an octavo arranged for keyboard, guitar, oboe, cello, and SAB choir. You can purchase a downloadable edition (ocp.org/30130062) and have it immediately in hand for your next rehearsal! — Elaine Rendler-McQueeney See page 74 for an abbreviation key.

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Wisdom 11:24, 25, 27 You are merciful to all, O Lord, and despise nothing that you have made. You overlook people’s sins, to bring them to repentance, and you spare them, for you are the Lord our God. FIRST READING Joel 2:12–18 (219) The Lord is slow to anger and rich in kindness. The faithful return with their whole hearts, fasting and repenting. All God’s people gather together before the Lord for mercy. RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 51:3–4, 5–6ab, 12–13, 14 & 17 Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned. See Psalm 95:8 GOSPEL ACCLAMATION If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. GOSPEL Matthew 6:1–6, 16–18 Jesus warned the disciples against performing religious acts only to attract the attention of others. In giving alms, praying and fasting, Christians are to conduct themselves in such a way that no one will know, except God, who sees all things. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 1:2–3 He who ponders the law of the Lord day and night will yield fruit in due season. SECOND READING 2 Corinthians 5:20—6:2 Paul implored the Corinthians to be reconciled to God right away. As Christ carried their sins upon the cross, so can they bear his holiness within them, if they turn to him. “Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” Today’s Liturgy Lent • Easter Triduum • Easter 2016 33
