God is in his holy place, LITURGY OF THE WORD God who unites those who dwell in his house; First Reading ~ Genesis 18:20 he himself gives might and strength to his people. In those days, the LORD said: "The outcry against Sodom (Cf. Ps 68 (67): 6-7, 36) and Gomorrah is so great, and their sin so grave, that I must go down and see whether or not their actions fully PENITENTIAL ACT correspond to the cry against them that comes to me. I mean to find out." While Abraham's visitors walked on farther toward Sodom, I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and the LORD remained standing before Abraham. sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my Then Abraham drew nearer and said: "Will you sweep away words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, the innocent with the guilty? Suppose there were fifty through my fault, through my fault, through my most innocent people in the city; would you wipe out the place, grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, rather than spare it for the sake of the fifty innocent people all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, within it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to make to pray for me to the Lord our God. the innocent die with the guilty so that the innocent and the guilty would be treated alike! Should not the judge of all the world act with justice?" The LORD replied, "If I find fifty innocent people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." Abraham spoke up again: Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison. "See how I am presuming to speak to my Lord, though I am but dust and ashes! What if there are five less than fifty Christe eleison.

But Abraham persisted, saying "What if only forty are found there?" GOSPEL ~ Luke 11:1-13 He replied, "I will forbear doing it for the sake of the forty." Then Abraham said, "Let not my Lord grow Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had impatient if I go on. What if only thirty are found there?" finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to He replied, "I will forbear doing it if I can find but thirty pray just as John taught his disciples." He said to them, there." Still Abraham went on, "Since I have thus dared to "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your speak to my Lord, what if there are no more than kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive twenty?" The LORD answered, "I will not destroy it, for us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, the sake of the twenty." But he still persisted: "Please, let and do not subject us to the final test." And he said to them, not my Lord grow angry if I speak up this last time. "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight What if there are at least ten there?" He replied, and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy it." mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him, 'and he says in reply from within, The Word of the Lord.

I tell you, if he does not get up to give the visitor Psalm 138:1-2, 2-3, 6-7, 7-8 the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me. him whatever he needs because of his persistence.

The Ordinary 2] Every parish and mission in the Archdiocese should establish to the best of its ability at least a minimum Gregorian repertoire of the chanted Ordinary sung by the people in Latin. VIII (De Angelis) and Mass XVIII (Deus Genitor Alme) are the most popular and accessible. Parishes capable of more than this are encouraged to build their chant repertoire beyond this minimum. (Interestingly enough, the melodies given in the Roman Missal itself for the Sanctus and the Agnus Dei in English and Latin are from Mass XVIII.)

3] Optimally at Mass the Ordinary should consist of one musically unified suite rather than mixing together parts of different settings. d. The Propers

It is acknowledged that the singing of the Propers can present difficulties in parishes unaccustomed to singing the Mass as described above. However, there are parishes where the resources exist (or can be developed) to sing the Propers. The pastors and musicians of these parishes are encouraged and challenged to work toward a restoration of the sung Propers in some form at the Sung Mass, ac- cording to the options which are described in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal. Resources for the sung Propers will be made available through catechesis that will be provided in the Archdiocese to help implement this directive. to be continued next week…
