LITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18 The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the Lord, your God, am holy. “You shall not bear hatred for your brother or sister in your heart. Though you may have to reprove your fellow citizen, do not incur sin because of him. Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against any of your people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.” 3 RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 102 (103):1-2, 3-4, 8, 10, 12-13 James D. Wetzel (b. 1987) Bless the Lord, O my soul; Merciful and gracious is the Lord, and all my being, bless his holy name. slow to anger and abounding in kindness. Bless the Lord, O my soul, Not according to our sins does he deal with us, and forget not all his benefits. nor does he requite us according to our crimes. He pardons all your iniquities, As far as the east is from the west, heals all your ills. so far has he put our transgressions from us. He redeems your life from destruction, As a father has compassion on his children, crowns you with kindness and compassion. so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. SECOND READING I Corinthians 3:16-23 Brothers and sisters: Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy. Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you considers himself wise in this age, let him become a fool, so as to become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God, for it is written: God catches the wise in their own ruses, and again: The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. So let no one boast about human beings, for everything belongs to you, Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or the present or the future: all belong to you, and you to Christ, and Christ to God. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION I John 2:5 Chant, mode vi V. Whoever keeps the word of Christ, the love of God is truly perfected in him. 4 ALLELUIA Psalm 5:2 (at 12:00 Noon) Chant, mode ii Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL Matthew 5:38-48 Jesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one as well. If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand over your cloak as well. Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go for two miles. Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow. “You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” HOMILY 5 CREDO (sung at 12:00 Noon) Chant, mode iv 6 7 UNIVERSAL PRAYER LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST OFFERTORY ANTIPHON Psalm 5:3, 4 Chant, mode v Intende voci orationis meae, Attend to the voice of my prayer, rex meus et Deus meus: O my King and my God, quoniam ad te orabo, Domine. for to you will I pray, O Lord.

POSTLUDE Nicholas Bruhns Praeludium in E minor (Kleines) (1665-1697) 14 MUSIC NOTES Giovanni Croce was born in Chioggia, Italy, a costal town south of Venice, around 1557. He studied with and sang under Gioseffo Zarlino (noted theorist also from Chioggia), the maestro di cappella of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice. Croce took holy orders in 1585 and may have been a parish priest at the Church of St. Maria Formosa while continuing to sing at St. Mark’s. After the death of Zarlino, he became assistant maestro di cappella under Baldassare Donato, and when Donato died in 1603, Croce took over as principal musician. He died only a year after his appointment and was succeeded by Giulio Cesare Martinengo until 1613, at which time Claudio Monteverdi became the director. Croce’s sacred music, not as flamboyant as his Venetian ‘schoolmates’ Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, has therefore not as widely endured. Its textual clarity and conservative voice-leading, in line with the Tridentine reforms, follow more closely the Roman School. In other ways his music is very progressive, however. He is credited with the first published continuo part. Croce’s historical influence lies more with the development of the secular canzonetta and madrigal, which were popular as far afield as the Netherlands and England, where they were reprinted in the second book of Musica transalpina (1597).
