PURPOSE

The Diocesan Liturgical Music Committee

offers the following information and suggestions

contained in this pamphlet for planning music for

Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest.

We sincerely hope that pastors, deacons, music ministers,

liturgy planners, and the faithful will find this material

helpful in preparing and celebrating the various forms of

Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest.

It is our hope that those responsible for liturgical

leadership will provide music that expresses the paschal

mystery and empowers the full, conscious, and active

participation of the assembly.

The music should convey the dignity in accord with the

sacramental life of the Church.

CSL #2 The liturgy . . . is the outstanding means whereby

the faithful may express in their lives and manifest to

others this mystery of Christ and the real nature of the

true Church.

CSL #14 The Church earnestly desires that all the faithful

be led to that full, conscious, and active participation in

liturgical celebrations called for by the very nature of the

liturgy. . . for it is the primary and indispensable source

from which the faithful are to derive the true Christian

spirit…

CSL #26 Liturgical services are not private functions, but

are celebrations belonging to the Church, which is the

‚sacrament of unity.‛

MCW #16 Music chosen with care can serve as a bridge

to faith as well as an expression of it.

GIRM #39 The Christian faithful who gather together as

one to await the Lord’s coming are instructed . . . to sing

together psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs . . . Singing

is the sign of the heart’s joy.

GIRM #111 Among all who are involved with regard to

the rites, pastoral aspects, and music there should be

harmony and diligence in the effective preparation of

each liturgical celebration in accord with the Missal and

other liturgical books.

SCAP #112 Music fosters [full] participation [by the

assembly+. Its function is ‘ministerial’; it must serve and

never dominate.

SCAP #114 The role of the musicians as servant of the

liturgical action is to facilitate the sung prayer of the

gathered community. A full complement of music

ministers including cantor, psalmist, instrumentalist, and

choir is encouraged for the celebration.

INTRODUCTION

The Lord’s Day – as Sunday was called from

apostolic times – has always been accorded

special attention in the history of the church

because of its close connection with the very

core of the Christian mystery.

Pope John Paul II, Dies Domini, 1

At the very core of the Christian life is the paschal

mystery – the passion, death, resurrection, and ascension

of Jesus Christ. Since the time of the apostles, the

community has gathered to celebrate this mystery in the

breaking of the bread and in prayer.1 The community’s

gatherings, whether in the liturgy of the Eucharist or in

the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours (Morning and

1 Acts 2:42.

5

Evening Prayer), express and celebrate our love for God

and God’s love for us. They are sacred encounters –

moments that the community most intimately encounters

the very Mystery of our faith. Liturgy, then, provides the

community a context to give expression to that love

through rituals, gestures, songs, spoken prayers, and

silence. Liturgy is the community’s public work of

praising the living God.

Central to our liturgical life is the celebration of the

Eucharist on Sundays. This gathering, presided over by

the priest, is ‚the source and summit of our Christian

life.‛2 It is the place where the community is nourished

and strengthened to proclaim and live the gospel in the

world. It is the place where the community is consoled

and reconciled in order to bring peace and healing to the

world. It is a place of welcoming (baptism) and letting go

(funeral rites), a place for celebrating our life in God.

Currently here in the Diocese of Salt Lake City, we find

ourselves in the sad state of being, at times unable to

provide Eucharist – our source of Catholic identity – at

some of our missions, stations, and parishes due to our

painful shortage of priests.

As we continue to fervently pray for increased vocations

and other creative solutions, our diocese offers

alternative prayer opportunities to those affected

communities. Even in these critical times, the Church still

2 Dogmatic Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium), 11.

calls the local community to gather and offer their praise

and adoration to God in Christ, through the power of the

Holy Spirit.

Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest is not a

perfect ritual nor does it provide the fullness of the

Liturgy of the Eucharist, but it does provide

models of prayer the community can use and still

gather in prayer to offer their praise and adoration

to God, through Christ, in the power of the Holy

Spirit.

Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest contains a

number of choices to best serve our people, including

Liturgy of the Hours (Morning/Evening Prayer) with or

without reception of Holy Communion from previously

consecrated hosts, or a Liturgy of the Word, with or

without Holy Communion. While these are certainly not

adequate replacements for the celebration of Eucharist,

the faithful can at least gather together in prayer in the

name of Christ on the Lord’s Day.

Since sacred music is always integral to our Catholic

celebrations, drawing us into spiritual unity and worship

in a unique way, the Diocesan Music Committee offers

the following suggestions, examples, and guidance for

those communities faced with using SCAP.

7

SCAP may be celebrated on a Saturday evening or

Sunday morning, but there are restrictions to its

celebration.

These celebrations are held within communities

that await a priest and these solutions must be

considered merely temporary. There should

normally be only one liturgical assembly of this

kind in each place on any given Sunday. One of

these services may never be held in a location

where Mass has been celebrated that weekend.

SCAP #15

A good place to begin choosing appropriate music is the

regular parish repertoire for Sunday. Music used during

a celebration of the Liturgy of the Word or for

Morning/Evening Prayer should express the paschal

mystery. A unique thing about the SCAP ritual book is

that it encourages the celebration of Morning and

Evening Prayer. This text is set so musicians would need

to find music/Psalm settings that support the liturgical

prayer.

2.

What music is appropriate for the celebration of SCAP?

1.

What day and time should a SCAP be celebrated?

8

The full active participation by all the faithful is the aim to be

considered before all else (CSL #14). The music should also

meet the standards of the three judgments explained in

Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship 126-136

(liturgical judgment, pastoral judgment, and musical

judgment).

When preparing music for the celebration, a deacon

and/or a lay leader of prayer, and music planner should

reflect on the Scriptures that will be proclaimed during

the service. The Scriptures are a guidepost.

The ministers preparing Morning/Evening Prayer or a

Liturgy of the Word should keep in mind that this is not

a celebration of the Eucharist and therefore, as a general

rule, Eucharistic texts should be avoided (i.e. Jesus Wine

of Peace, Eat This Bread, Take and Eat). ‚Nonetheless, a

song for the Communion Rite would ideally reflect the

Eucharistic mystery of Christ’s presence in the holy

sacrament‛ (SCAP #116).

As explained in Sing to the Lord 126 - 136, the threefold

judgment (liturgical, pastoral, and musical) should be

used to determine the value of a given musical element

in a liturgical celebration.

3.

Explain the “three music judgments”.

9

The liturgical judgment is made by taking into

consideration the nature of the liturgy itself.

Consideration needs to be given to choosing music that is

properly suited to the meaning and the structure of the

ritual, that it is textually sound, and that it contributes to

the overall rhythm of the liturgical action.

Pastoral judgment is also needed to choose music that will

enable the people of a particular worshiping community

to meaningfully express their faith in the concrete

circumstances of the time and place. The liturgical

minister must be pastoral in his or her approach. To be

pastoral means to choose dignified liturgical music, while

catechizing the parish family about the ritual structure of

a SCAP service. Pastoral does not equal the use of secular

music, poetry, etc. Reverent, dignified, well-planned, and

well-executed liturgy is pastoral by its very nature.

“The pastoral judgment takes into consideration

the actual community gathered to celebrate in a

particular place at a particular time. Does a

musical composition promote the sanctification

of the members of the liturgical assembly by

drawing them closer to the holy mysteries being

celebrated? Does it strengthen their formation

in faith by opening their hearts to the mystery

being celebrated on this occasion or in this

season? Is it capable of expressing the faith that

God has planted in their hearts and summoned

them to celebrate?” STL #130

10

To make the musical judgment, one needs to take into

consideration the quality of the piece. Is it technically,

aesthetically, and expressively good? Music chosen for

each rite should be simple, beautiful, and accessible to

the congregation. Music that is not artistically sound is

not appropriate for use in the liturgy. Secular music is

never allowed in liturgy.

Parishes usually have pastoral musicians and liturgy

preparation teams in place that will work with the

pastor, deacon, and/or lay leader of prayer to provide

appropriate music for the various rituals outlined in the

SCAP ritual book. Those who have the responsibility of

preparing SCAP must be very familiar with the ritual

and all the options included in the ritual book. The

diocesan Office of Liturgy is also available to help answer

questions.

Singing is a[n] . . . integral part of the liturgical

celebration. Sung prayer is another dimension

of our faith expression. Singing by the ministers

11

and people should always be a part of the

Sunday celebration and holy days of obligation.

The singing of the acclamations, responses,

psalmody, antiphons, songs, and hymnody are

normative for the full, conscious, and active

participation when the Church gathers for ritual

prayer. SCAP #109

For Sunday Celebrations in the absence of a

priest, hymns and acclamations accompany the

ritual action. They include, in order of

importance:

1. the acclamation before the Gospel

2. A hymn

3. responsorial psalm

4. communion processional chant

5. Lord’s Prayer and

6. Act of Thanksgiving.

Other possibilities might include the response to

the intercessions and a closing song or choral

anthem of the day. SCAP #110

When the Liturgy of the Hours is celebrated the

following are usually sung:

1. the psalms and canticles with their

antiphons

2. the hymn

3. the intercessions

4. and the Lord’s Prayer.

12

Furthermore, the selection of liturgical music is

guided by the liturgical year and the Lectionary.

Attention should be given to the numerous

music settings for the hymns, psalms, and

canticles that are available. SCAP #111

In STL #93 the United States bishops remind us that,

“Recorded music lacks the authenticity provided

by a living liturgical assembly gathered for the

Sacred Liturgy. While recorded music might be

used advantageously outside the

Liturgy as an aid in the teaching of new music,

it should not, as a general norm, be used within

the Liturgy.”

The voices and instruments of the gathered assembly are

never to be replaced by recorded music. Again, the aim

of fostering full, active and conscious participation by all

the people is to be considered before all else.

6.

May recorded music be used during the celebration of SCAP?

13

First, there is no liturgical procession at the beginning of

a SCAP service. The deacon or lay leader of prayer is

seated in his or her chair/place prior to the beginning of

the celebration. The minister then continues with a brief

introduction, which explains that Mass will not be

celebrated. After this instruction, the assembly stands

and joins in the gathering hymn/antiphon.

The SCAP ritual does not explicitly suggest a gathering

hymn, but in the Diocese of Salt Lake City, we

recommend that the SCAP service begins with a

gathering hymn/antiphon.

The gathering hymn/antiphon, ‚ensure*s+ that the

faithful who come together as one establish[es]

communion and dispose[s] themselves to listen properly

to God’s word‛ and possibly share in Holy Communion

(STL #140).

Since the celebration of [SCAP] is a communal

celebration, participation aids should be

7.

Who should be in the procession? Is a gathering song necessary?

8.

Should we have worship aids?

14

provided to the congregation so that they might

follow the ritual with understanding. This, in

turn, allows them to have full and active

participation in the celebration. Participation

aids should include especially those elements of

the Liturgy unique to the [SCAP ritual]. Such

participation aids should also include proper

copyright notices for permission to use

copyrighted music in the program (STL #224).

Those charged with the preparation of a SCAP service

should be familiar with the ritual outline and prepare

music that is appropriate for the various options (i.e.

Morning or Evening Prayer, with or without Holy

Communion, or Liturgy of the Word with our without

Holy Communion).

Since this celebration is so unique and, in some cases,

rarely celebrated, it is essential that the assembly have

participation aids to facilitate their full participation. This

is especially true if a community celebrates either

Morning or Evening Prayer.

15

In the diocese of Salt Lake City, the preferred option for

celebrating the Lord’s Day in the absence of a priest is to

celebrate Morning or Evening Prayer, especially when

there are not enough reserved hosts to distribute Holy

Communion. The SCAP ritual allows for the readings

from the Sunday Lectionary to be included in an extended

Liturgy of the Word (SCAP 124-129; 158-163).

The witness of the early Church teaches us that

individual Christians devoted themselves to

prayer at fixed times. Then, in different places,

it soon became the established practice to assign

special times for common prayer, for example,

the last hour of the day . . . or the first hour . . .

with the rising of the sun. GILOH #1

The Liturgy of the Hours has since ancient times been the

Church’s way of ‚praying without ceasing‛.3 In union

with Christ, the Church offers her prayers of praise and

petition to God the Father for the salvation of the world

(GILOH #2). ‚The purpose of the liturgy of the hours is to

sanctify the day and the whole range of human activity‛

(GILOH #11). The liturgy of the hours ‚is the prayer of

the Church with Christ and to Christ‛ (GILOH #2).

3 1 Thess 5:15-18

9.

There are several options in the SCAP ritual,

which option should our parish choose?

16

SCAP is always to be celebrated with one of the chief

offices: Morning or Evening prayer. The liturgy of the

hours belongs to the ‚whole Body of the Church‛ and is

never a private affair (GILOH #20). It is the daily prayer

of the Church in which all people – priests, deacons,

religious, and the laity – gather in one heart and mind to

give praise to God. The fact that the ritual book for SCAP

places the Liturgy of the Hours first in the order of

permitted forms of celebration suggests it is the preferred

form of celebration for SCAP services with the Sunday

assembly.

Nevertheless, those preparing for a SCAP service must be

very familiar with the ritual texts since it presents several

variations or choices in each of the outlined services.

The Act of Thanksgiving is the community’s hymn of

praise and thanksgiving for God’s great gift of love and

mercy. It is a way for the community to respond to God’s

invitation into relationship.

If Holy Communion is distributed, this psalm/hymn

follows a moment of silence. Everyone stands to sing or

recite one of the psalms that are provided (see appendix

10.

What is the Act of Thanksgiving and does it need to be sung?

17

II of the ritual book for more options). In Morning or

Evening Prayer the Act of Thanksgiving is always the

proper Canticle (see outline included in this booklet).

Since this response is normally a psalm, it is proper to

sing it. If the parish family is unfamiliar with a psalm

setting, the liturgical musicians, deacon, and/or lay

leader of prayer are encouraged to choose a hymn of

praise and thanksgiving from the music resource used by

the parish family.

Contact the Diocesan Office of Liturgy for a list of

suggested music or for information regarding the

celebration of SCAP. The Office of Liturgy also provides

training/formation for deacons, lay leaders of prayer, and

liturgical musicians.

Appendix III

What is a hymn tune and hymn meter?

A hymn may be chosen whose text is appropriate for a

given liturgy, but the parish may not be familiar with the

hymn tune that is printed with that text. The new text

may be sung to a hymn tune that the singers already

know - as long as the hymn tune has a suitable meter.

A hymn meter is an indicator of the number of syllables

for the lines in each verse of a hymn. The hymn meter

may be found near the hymn title. The Metrical Index,

which is included in accompaniment books and some

hymnals, offers other suitable hymn tunes for various

hymn meters.

For example, the meter listed for a hymn is 87 87 D. In

the Metrical Index of a hymnal/Missalette under meter 87

87 D, several hymn tunes are listed. Among the hymn

tunes provided is Beach Spring, which many parishes

know well. The musicians use the Beach Spring melody

with the new text to encourage "full and active participation

in the celebration".

This also provides a variety of choices when planning

liturgical celebrations.
