Acolyte(s) Liturgical Bummers - "Ho'opilikia" (Would that these were fictional)
Your cantor has just caught a cold and you have been asked to be substitute reader while your guitarist is needed as acolyte.
At the last minute you have been asked to include music your musicians have never played.
You can't get into the Sacristy to turn on the sound because the Sacistan had a flat tire.
The previous service has taken too long, so you know you wil not have time for the musicians to go over the new ofertory song with the people.
A famous singing star is coming to Mass and wants to sing Amazing Grace as a solo, and the pastor said OK because he didn't want to ofend the hosting family who recently gave $10,000 to upgrade the P.A. system in the church. Third Principle: Mystagogy Entering into the Mystery of Faith Preguntas . . .
Does this Liturgy point to, or encapsulize, a particular teaching?
Do the songs, psalms, Prayer of the Faithful and various announcements have a unified theme?
Does the music, in content and mood, fit the particular moment and flow of the Liturgical action? Is the over-al music seamless and unified?
Does everything invite and encourage attentive participation by the people?
Would this Liturgy reflect to a non-Catholic visitor what our Church teaches and stands for and how it should pray?
Does this Liturgy in some way cause me to enter more intimately into the mystery of the presence of Christ in the Assenbly and in my personal life?
In this Liturgy do I feel in touch with reality yet also in some way in a special realm? Steps in Preparing To Shape a Liturgy Moment-by-Moment
