INTRODUCTION PREAMBLE Chapter One General Principles for the Liturgical Celebration of the Word of God 1. Certain Preliminaries a) THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORD OF GOD IN LITURGICAL CELEBRATION 1 The Second Vatican Council, 1 the magisterium of the Popes, 2 and various documents promulgated after the Council by the organisms of the Holy See,3 have already had many excellent things to say about the importance of the word of God and about reestablishing the use of Sacred Scripture in every celebration of the Liturgy. The Introduction to the 1969 edition of the Order of Readings for Mass has clearly stated and briefly explained some of the more important princi - ples. 4 On the occasion of this new edition of the Order of Readings for Mass, requests have come from many quarters for a more detailed exposition of the same principles. Hence, this expanded and more suitable arrangement of the Introduction first gives a general statement on the essential bond between the word of God and the liturgical celebration, 5 then deals in greater detail 1 Cf. especially Second Vatican Council, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, nn. 7, 24, 33, 35, 48, 51, 52, 56; Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, Dei Verbum, nn. 1, 21, 25, 26; Decree on the Missionary Activity of the Church, Ad gentes, n. 6; Decree on the Ministry and Life of Priests, Presbyterorum Ordinis, n. 18. 2 Among the spoken or written statements of the Supreme Pontiffs, see especially: Paul VI, Motu Proprio, Ministeria quaedam, 15 August 1972, n. V: Acta Apostolicae Sedis [AAS] 64 (1972) 532; Apostolic Exhortation, Marialis cultus, 2 February 1974, n. 12: AAS 66 (1974) 125 126; Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii nuntiandi, 8 December 1975, n. 28: AAS 68 (1976) 24 25, n. 43: ibid., pp. 33 34, n. 47: ibid., pp. 36 37; John Paul II, Apostolic Constitution, Scripturarum thesaurus, 25 April 1979 in Nova Vulgata Bibliorum Sacrorum editione, Typis Polyglottis Vaticanis 1979, pp. V VIII; Apostolic Exhortation, Catechesi tradendae, 16 October 1979, nn. 23, 27, 48: AAS 71 (1979) 1296 1297, 1298 1299, 1316; Letter, Dominicae Cenae, 24 February 1980, n. 10: AAS 72 (1980) 134 137. 3 Cfr. V. gr. Sacred Congregation of Rites, Instruction, Eucharisticum Mysterium, 25 May 1967, n. 10: AAS 59 (1967) 547 548; Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship, Instruction, Liturgicae instaurationes, 5 September 1970, n. 2: AAS 62 (1970) 695 696; Sacred Congregation for the with the word of God in the celebration of Mass, and, finally, explains the precise structure of the Order of Readings for Mass. b) TERMS USED TO REFER TO THE WORD OF GOD 2 For the sake of clear and precise language on this topic, a definition of terms might well be expected as a prerequisite. Nevertheless this Introduction will simply use the same terms employed in conciliar and postconciliar documents. Furthermore it will use Sacred Scripture and word of God interchangeably throughout when referring to the books written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, thus avoiding any confusion of language or meaning. 6 c) THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WORD OF GOD IN THE LITURGY 3 The many riches contained in the one word of God are admirably brought out in the different kinds of liturgical celebration and in the different gatherings of the faithful who take part in those celebrations. This takes place as the unfolding mystery of Christ is recalled during the course of Clergy, Directorum catecheticum generale, 11 April 1971: AAS 64 (1972) 106 107 n. 25: ibid., p. 114; Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship, Institutio Generalis Missalis Romani, nn. 9, 11, 24, 33, 60, 62, 316, 320; Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education, Instruction on liturgical formation in seminaries, In ecclesiasticam futurorum sacerdotum, 3 June 1979, nn. 11, 52; ibid., Appendix, n. 15; Sacred Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship, Instruction, Inaestimabile Donum, 3 April 1980, nn. 1, 2, 3; AAS 72 (1980) 333 334. 4 Cf. Missale Romanum ex Decreto Sacrosancti Oecumenici Concilii Vaticani II instauratum auctoritate Pauli VI promulgatum, Ordo lectionum Missae (Typis Polyglottis Vaticanis, 1969), pp. IX XII (Praenotanda); Decree of promulgation: AAS 61 (1969) 548 549. 5 Cf. Second Vatican Council, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, nn. 35, 56; Paul VI, Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii nuntiandi, 8 December 1975, nn. 28, 47: AAS 68 (1976) 24 25, 36 37; John Paul II, Letter, Dominicae Cenae, 24 February 1980, nn. 10, 11, 12: AAS 72 (1980) 134 146. 6 For example, the terms word of God, Sacred Scripture, Old and New Testament, Reading (readings) of the word of God, Reading (readings) from Sacred Scripture, Celebration (Celebrations) of the word of God, etc. 13

WEEKDAYS OF ADVENT December 17 to December 24 The following readings are used from December 17 to 24. If a Sunday occurs during this time, the weekday readings for that day are omitted, but they may be anticipated or used later on another day during the week, especially to avoid duplicating the Sunday readings. 193 DECEMBER 17 FIRST READING The scepter shall not depart from Judah. A reading from the Book of Genesis 49:2, 8-10 Jacob called his sons and said to them: Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob, listen to Israel, your father. You, Judah, shall your brothers praise your hand on the neck of your enemies; the sons of your father shall bow down to you. Judah, like a lion s whelp, you have grown up on prey, my son. He crouches like a lion recumbent, the king of beasts who would dare rouse him? The scepter shall never depart from Judah, or the mace from between his legs, While tribute is brought to him, and he receives the people s homage. The word of the Lord. 94

DECEMBER 29 THE FIFTH DAY IN THE OCTAVE OF CHRISTMAS 121 DECEMBER 29 202 The Fifth Day in the Octave of Christmas FIRST READING Those who love their brother remain in the light. A reading from the first Letter of Saint John 2:3-11 B eloved: The way we may be sure that we know Jesus is to keep his commandments. Whoever says, I know him, but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him. This is the way we may know that we are in union with him: whoever claims to abide in him ought to walk just as he walked. Beloved, I am writing no new commandment to you but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. And yet I do write a new commandment to you, which holds true in him and among you, for the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause a fall. Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks in darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. The word of the Lord.

ASH WEDNESDAY 219 If the blessing and distribution of ashes take place outside Mass, it is appropriate that the Liturgy of the Word precede it, using texts assigned to the Mass of Ash Wednesday. FIRST READING Rend your hearts, not your garments. A reading from the Book of the Prophet Joel 2:12-18 Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment. Perhaps he will again relent and leave behind him a blessing, Offerings and libations for the LORD, your God. Blow the trumpet in Zion! proclaim a fast, call an assembly; Gather the people, notify the congregation; Assemble the elders, gather the children and the infants at the breast; Let the bridegroom quit his room and the bride her chamber. Between the porch and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep, And say, Spare, O LORD, your people, and make not your heritage a reproach, with the nations ruling over them! Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God? Then the LORD was stirred to concern for his land and took pity on his people. The word of the Lord. 167

FOURTH WEEK OF LENT OPTIONAL MASS 233 [243] VERSE BEFORE THE GOSPEL John 8:12 GOSPEL I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life. He went, washed and came back able to see. = A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 9:1-41 As Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes, and said to him, Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam which means Sent. So he went and washed, and came back able to see. His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, Isn t this the one who used to sit and beg? Some said, It is, but others said, No, he just looks like him. He said, I am. So they said to him, How were your eyes opened? He replied, The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and told me, Go to Siloam and wash. So I went there and washed and was able to see. And they said to him, Where is he? He said, I don t know. They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees. Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath. So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.

464 FOURTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MONDAY [323] RESPONSORIAL PSALM 31:20, 21, 22, 23, 24 r (25) Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord. How great is the goodness, O LORD, which you have in store for those who fear you, And which, toward those who take refuge in you, you show in the sight of the children of men. r Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord. You hide them in the shelter of your presence from the plottings of men; You screen them within your abode from the strife of tongues. r Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord. Blessed be the LORD whose wondrous mercy he has shown me in a fortified city. r Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord. Once I said in my anguish, I am cut off from your sight ; Yet you heard the sound of my pleading when I cried out to you. r Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord. Love the LORD, all you his faithful ones! The LORD keeps those who are constant, but more than requites those who act proudly. r Let your hearts take comfort, all who hope in the Lord. ALLELUIA Luke 7:16 r Alleluia, alleluia. A great prophet has arisen in our midst and God has visited his people. r Alleluia, alleluia. GOSPEL Unclean spirit, come out of the man! Years I and II = A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark 5:1-20 Jesus and his disciples came to the other side of the sea, to the territory of the Gerasenes. When he got out of the boat, at once a man from the tombs who had an unclean spirit met him. The man had been dwelling among the tombs, and no one could restrain him any longer, even with a chain.

TWENTY-FOURTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME MONDAY 443 FIRST READING Year I I ask that prayers be offered for everyone to God who wills everyone to be saved. A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to Timothy 2:1-8 B eloved: First of all, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone, for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity. This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as ransom for all. This was the testimony at the proper time. For this I was appointed preacher and Apostle (I am speaking the truth, I am not lying), teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument. The word of the Lord. RESPONSORIAL PSALM 28:2, 7, 8-9 r (6) Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard my prayer. Hear the sound of my pleading, when I cry to you, lifting up my hands toward your holy shrine. r Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard my prayer. The LORD is my strength and my shield. In him my heart trusts, and I find help; then my heart exults, and with my song I give him thanks. r Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard my prayer. The LORD is the strength of his people, the saving refuge of his anointed. Save your people, and bless your inheritance; feed them, and carry them forever! r Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard my prayer. 809

GOSPEL THIRTY-FIRST WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME FRIDAY 923 [489] Years I and II For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. = A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 16:1-8 Jesus said to his disciples, A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property. He summoned him and said, What is this I hear about you? Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward. The steward said to himself, What shall I do, now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me? I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may welcome me into their homes. He called in his master s debtors one by one. To the first he said, How much do you owe my master? He replied, One hundred measures of olive oil. He said to him, Here is your promissory note. Sit down and quickly write one for fifty. Then to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? He replied, One hundred measures of wheat. He said to him, Here is your promissory note; write one for eighty. And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently. For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than the children of light.
