LITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING Genesis 12:1-4a The Lord said to Abram: “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you. “I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the communities of the earth shall find blessing in you.” Abram went as the Lord directed him. 2 RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 32 (33):4-5, 18-19, 20, 22 James D.

SECOND READING II Timothy 1:8b-10 Beloved: Bear your share of hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from God. He saved us and called us to a holy life, not according to our works but according to his own design and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began, but now made manifest through the appearance of our savior Christ Jesus, who destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Matthew 17:5 James D. Wetzel V. From the shining cloud the Father’s voice is heard: This is my beloved Son, hear him. 3 GOSPEL Matthew 17:1-9 Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much afraid. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and do not be afraid.” And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone. As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, “Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” HOMILY RITE OF CONTINUING CONVERSION (at 12:00 Noon) 4 CREDO (sung at 12:00 Noon) Chant, mode iv 5 6 LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST OFFERTORY ANTIPHON Psalm 118 (119):47, 48 Chant, mode ii Meditabor in mandatis tuis, I will meditate on your commandments, quae dilexi valde: which I have loved exceedingly, et levabo manus meas ad mandata tua, and I will lift up my hands to your commandments, quae dilexi. which I have loved.

Handl was most likely educated at the Cistercian monastery in Carniola. In his mid-teens, he left his home town to travel in Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, singing for a time in the choir at the Benedictine Melk Abbey (still active) on the Danube in lower Austria. He later served as a musician in the Viennese court chapel, as choirmaster for a Moravian bishop, and as organist of the Church of St. John on the Balustrade in Prague from 1585 until his death in 1591. He composed hundreds of sacred works, including about twenty Masses and several Passions. His musical style mixes the polyphonic idiom of the High Renaissance Franco- Flemish composers with that of the Venetian School, with a combination of archaic and then-experimental compositional techniques. Handl’s most notable work is the six-part Opus musicum of 1587, a collection of 374 motets that cover the liturgical needs of the entire ecclesiastical year. Jacobus Vaet’s musical education followed the typical of the Low Country singers who dominated European church music in the Renaissance: he became a chorister at the Church of Notre Dame at Koortrijk (Courtrai) in 1543 at the age of thirteen, and when his voice broke in 1546 he was given a scholarship to the University of Leuven (Louvain).
