We’ll contact you if we’re able to publish your comments. Ask the Liturgist I’m a bit confused by the numbering of the Psalms. One of the Communion antiphons for daily Mass had this text and Bible reference: “The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want. In green pastures he gives me rest, he leads me beside the waters of peace” (Ps 22:1–2). We all know this is from Psalm 23. Why is the citation for Psalm 22? yes, this can be very confusing! the discrepancy is rooted in the reality that the entrance and communion antiphons are sourced from the Sacramentary, a ritual book that draws its Scripture excerpts from the latin Vulgate Bible. as for the readings in the liturgy of the Word, these are sourced from the Lectionary for Mass, which does not use the latin Vulgate as its basis for the translation. there are two ways of numbering the Book of Psalms. • Protestant and Jewish translations and recent catholic translations like the New American Bible (naB) follow the numbering in the Hebrew Bible. in this system, Psalm 23 is the shepherd psalm (“the lord is my shepherd…”). this is the numbering system used in the Lectionary for Mass. • older catholic translations and some recent catholic translations follow the numbering in the Septuagint (greek) and latin Vulgate Bible. in this system, Psalm 22 is the shepherd psalm. this is the numbering system used in the Sacramentary. So, it’s important to understand that some of the entries sourced from the Vatican ritual books use the latin Vulgate Bible Psalm numberings. liturgical publishers cannot alter any of the citations for readings from the Bible. We are required to list them as promulgated by the american bishops (uSccB) and as approved by offi cial Vatican authorities. Here is a basic table illustrating how the Psalms in the two numbering systems correspond:

Hebrew (MASORETIC) Greek/Latin (SEPTUAGINT) Numbering Numbering from the Vulgate Bible [as used in the Lectionary for Mass] [as used in the Sacramentary] 1-8 = 1-8 From 1 to 8, the numbers are identical 9-10 = 9a, 9b 9-10 become Psalm 9 in Greek/Latin 11-113 = 10-112 11 - 113, the number in Greek/Latin is the Hebrew number minus one 114-115 = 113a, 113b 114-115 become 113 in Greek/Latin 116:1-9 = 114 116 in Hebrew splits into 114 & 115 in Greek/Latin 116:10-19 = 115 117-146 = 116-145 117 - 146, the number in Greek/Latin is the Hebrew number minus one 147:1-11 = 146 147 in Hebrew splits into 146 & 147 in Greek/Latin 147:12-29 = 147 148-150 = 148-150 From 148 to150, the numbers are identical

Today’s LITURGY Ordinary Time 1 2010 7 Sacramental Real Presence

Mystery! It lies at the heart of our topic. But what is mystery? We speak of the mystery of life, the mysteries of the universe, things that have no discernable answer. Yet we also use the term in a pedes- trian fashion. Don’t we all love a mystery? There is nothing better on a rainy afternoon than to settle down with a good mystery novel. And don’t we all expect to find the answer at the end of the last chapter? The point of the mystery is to solve it, right? That is not the kind of mystery we are speaking Rodica about here. We are talking about a mystery that doesn’t lend itself to solutions. It is a mystery that Stoicoiu invites us in, opens us up, and begs us enter often and deeply. But no matter how frequently we are Rodica M. M. exposed or how many times we partake, we will never do more than glimpse and grasp at the truth, Stoicoiu is an as in a mirror darkly. It is like the mystery of love: the more we know, the more there is to know. associate professor in the theology Indeed, the mystery we are speaking of is not the cheap dime-store novel variety, but the mystery department at of God as met in the sacramental encounter of the Eucharist.

Today’s LITURGY Ordinary Time 1 2010 15 Looking Ahead to the New Roman Missal: The Mystery of Faith

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has been working with the Holy See to revise and approve a new English translation of the Roman Missal (previously known as the Sacramentary). The implementation date has not yet been determined. The bishops are calling on all clergy and lay ecclesial ministers to help parish assemblies learn the new ritual texts and to support the catechesis that will be needed before, during, and after the transition. All of us at OCP and Today’s Liturgy are pleased to provide the following information as part of that catechetical effort.

But it was decided to imitate the Latin with its displaced accent more closely here, in part because the Latin setting is likely to be sung with great frequency by congregations in the future, which argues for similarity between the Latin and English settings.
