9 LITURGY OF THE WORD! Commuio with Christ! Mass is a double commuio, first through word, the through sacramet! were ot our hearts burig withi us as he talked to us o the road ad explaied the scriptures to us? (Luke 24:32).

10 DEI VERBUM #21! The Church has always veerated the divie scriptures just as she veerates the body of the Lord, sice, especially i the sacred liturgy, she uceasigly receives ad offers to the faithful the bread of life from the table both of God s word ad of Christ s body. She has always maitaied them ad cotiues to do so, together with sacred traditio, as the supreme rule of faith, sice, as ispired by God ad committed oce ad for all to writig, they impart the word of God Himself without chage, ad make the voice of the Holy Spirit resoud i the words of the prophets ad apostles.

11 AMBO! The word is so sacred that it has a special place! Should t be used for other purposes such as aoucemets or leadig the sigig.

12 GOD PRESENT! He is preset i His word, sice it is He Himself who speaks whe the holy scriptures are read i the Church. (SC # 7)

13 Theological Uderpiig Proclamatio of the word of God is truly a service to the Church. Readers brig the livig word of God to the assembled faith commuity. Whe the Scriptures are read i the Church, God himself is speakig to his people [i] The miistry of the word, therefore, should be treated with great digity.

14 Hearig the Word The word of God is ot merely read, but proclaimed, withi the liturgy. Effective proclamatio ivolves the delivery of the message with clarity, covictio ad appropriate pace. It demads the ability to evoke faith i others by demostratig oe s ow faith. As a miistry which presupposes faith it should rouse faith i those who hear the word proclaimed.

15 Ideally, the assembly should liste to the proclamatio of the scriptures ad ot read alog i a participatio aid. I the act of commual listeig the worshippers experiece ot oly uity amog themselves, but the very presece of Christ speakig to them i his word.

16 Tertullia Tertullia i the secod cetury said that i Scripture, God has added a writte revelatio for the beefit of everyoe whose heart is set o seekig Him. 1 Tertullia, Apology, The Ate-Nicee Fathers, 10 vols, (ed.) Alexader Roberts ad James Doaldso (Peabody, Mass.: Hedrickso, 2004), 3: 32.

17 I the readigs God speaks with his people, opeig up to them the mystery of redemptio ad salvatio, ad ourishig their spirit; Christ himself is preset i the midst of the faithful through his word. By their silet listeig ad poderig, ad by their sigig ad acclamatio, the people make God s word their ow, ad begi to respod to it i their hearts.

18 The richess i the quatity ad i the variety of readigs i the Lectioary challeges those who are called upo to proclaim the Scriptures at Mass. Each of the idividual sacred authors reflected o the meaig of God s actio i history from their ow perspective.they employed various literary forms to covey the message of salvatio, ragig, for example, from arratives ad the poetry of the psalms to prophetic oracles ad parables, from theological expositios to apocalyptic visios. Those who proclaim the word of the Lord will do so more fully ad effectively if they have a awareess of both the literary form of a particular readig or psalm ad its cotext. Both to assist the assembly to appreciate the gere ad cotext of the differet passages of Scripture ad to ivolve more people i active miistry, it is better to have a differet reader for each readig

19 I proclaimig the word of God, readers exercise their resposibility i mediatig the presece of Christ. God speaks to the assembly through them, ad, the impact of God s message will deped sigificatly o their covictio, their preparatio, ad their delivery. The reader has resposibility for ot simply readig the word, but assistig the assembly to hear the word.this will require the reader to be attetive to the assembly, ad careful to allow for times of pause ad silece as the assembly prepares to liste ad, oce the readig has bee proclaimed, as it takes the word of God to heart. It also requires that the dictio of the reader is such that he or she ca be readily uderstood by the assembly to whom they miister.

20 God speaks to the assembly through the miisters of the Liturgy of the Word, clergy ad lay readers.they mediate to the assembly the presece of Christ. Their miistry is exercised i the service of the assembly, helpig them to hear the livig word of God, ad eablig them to begi the work which belogs to the assembly of poderig that word i their hearts ad begiig to respod to it i prayer. Miisters assist the wider assembly by meas both of their work of proclamatio, ad by their modellig for the assembly the work which is commo to all of listeig to the word proclaimed.

21 Lectio diviia I Lectio, the eyes behold, caress, embrace the text. Words are savoured, chewed, swallowed slowly. They taste of God. They are like hoey i the mouth, gladdeig the heart (Michael Dowey, Trappist)

22 ST. PAUL! Ad we costatly thak God because whe you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it ot as a huma word but as it actually is the Word of God which is at work i you who believe. (1 Thess. 2.13).! for the Word of God is livig ad active. Sharper tha ay two edged sword, it peetrates eve to dividig life breath ad spirit, joits ad marrow; it judges the thoughts ad attitudes of the heart. (Heb. 4.12).! let the Word of God dwell i you richly as you teach ad admoish oe aother.(col. 3.16).

23 Holy Readig Chewig, Swallowig, Regurgitatig, Chewig some more etc. See I place my words i your mouth (Jer 1) whe I foud your words I devoured them (Jer. 15:16) o mortal, eat what is offered to you; eat this scroll ad go speak to the house of Israel the I ate it ad i my mouth it was as sweet as hoey (Ezek 3:1-3)

24 Elemets Readigs from Sacred Scripture, the chats betwee readigs (psalms ad Gospel acclamatio) form the mai part of the Liturgy of the Word. The Homily Professio of Faith Prayers of the Faithful

25 First Readig Take from the Old Testamet o all Sudays of the year except the Easter Seaso Recouts the relatioship betwee God ad his chose people, our acestors i faith. Remids us of God s providetial actio i history. As Pope Paul Vi said we are all spiritually Semites- Abraham is our father i faith. OT readig is chose to harmoise with the gospel theme.

26 First Readig As we liste to the OT we should recall that God s actios are ot buried i the past-- together we pray O Lord you have bee our refuge from oe geeratio to the ext. Before the moutais were bor or the earth brought forth, you are God without begiig or ed.(psalm 90)

27 Role of Cator/ Psalmist The psalmist has the special task of drawig the assembly ito the proclamatio of the word of God i the psalm by itroducig the psalm resposes, alleluia or Gospel acclamatio to the assembly, ad by sigig the verses of the resposorial psalm ad the alleluia ad Gospel verses. The psalmist may also itroduce all atiphos to the assembly ad sig the verses of the psalms used.the psalmist should have the ability to sig,ad a aptitude for correct prouciatio ad dictio.the role of the psalmist ad cator may be carried out by oe perso. The cator s fuctio is to lead ad ecourage the assembly i sigig.the cator also itroduces ad teaches ew music to the people.

29 Psalm &Gospel Acclamatio A psalm is always part of mass Should be sug A psalmist, a cator, a orgaist, other istrumetalists, a choir, ad a director of music assist the assembly s sigig of them. These miisters of music exercise a liturgical fuctio withi the assembly ad by their role help to add beauty ad solemity to the celebratio.

30 Secod Readig O Ordiary Sudays o attempt to lik this with Gospel or OT theme. Take from NT other tha the 4 gospels. Lectio cotiua (cotiuous readig) May of these readigs are older tha the gospels eg Thessaloias circa. 50AD The treasures of the Bible are to be opeed more lavishly so that richer fare may be provided for the faithful at the table of God s Word. (Costitutio o the Sacred Liturgy o.51)

31 Gospel Acclamatio Should always be sug. If ot sug should be omitted. We stad to greet Christ with exquisite joy. Alleluia is a Hebrew word that is ot traslatable, a word of feelig rather tha of thought, expressig joy Not used durig Let

32 Gospel Good News Primacy amog all the readigs of the liturgy. Oly a deaco or priest ca proclaim the gospel People stad as a sig of respect, attetio, reverece. Sig of cross o book ad o our heads, lips, hearts

33 A gesture of mid ad heart. somethig itellectual which we must grasp somethig emotioal which we must allow to grasp us It must be o our lips as we live it ad proclaim it i our lives

34 Cotd. Other elemets that may be sug i the Liturgy of the Word iclude the Professio of Faith ad the Prayer of the Faithful Miisters of Music ca also have a importat role i assistig the clergy ad other liturgical miisters to develop cofidece i usig the chats provided i the Roma Missal for the dialogues, acclamatios, itercessios ad readigs of the Liturgy of the Word

35 Homily a proclamatio of God s woderful works i the history of salvatio, the mystery of Christ, which is ever made preset ad active withi us, especially i the celebratio of the Liturgy (Costitutio o the Sacred Liturgy o.35) By meas of the homily the mysteries of faith ad the guidig priciples of the Christia life are to be expouded from the sacred text durig the course of the liturgical year. Costitutio o the Sacred Liturgy o.52) amog the forms of preachig, the Suday homily, which is a itegral part of the celebratio of the Eucharist, is preemiet. Code of Cao Law 767)

36 Purpose The homily is a itegral part of the liturgy to assist the assembly to hear the voice of the Lord i his word. to tell ma who he is ad what he must do to be himself. Its itetio is to disclose to him the truth about himself, that is, what he ca base his life o ad what he ca die for. (Pope Beedict Xvi, Why Preach:Ecouterig Christ i God s Word (Igatius Press, 2009,p.15)

37 Fially, havig bee ourished by this word, the assembly affirms its acceptace of it by the professio of faith ad makes petitio i the Prayer of the Faithful (geeral itercessios), prayig for the eeds of the etire Church ad for the salvatio of the whole world.
