Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
The Gospel emphasizes the importance of Scripture ("He opened the Scriptures to us") and Sacrament ("He was made known in the breaking of the bread"). Incense at the Gospel and incense during the Elevation may help to reinforce this. Throughout the Easter Season (from the Vigil right through Pentecost) the Sprinkling Rite is the perfect way to open the liturgy. It recalls our baptism (use water from the font) and delineates this season, which otherwise has a great danger of being forgotten by the fourth or fifth Sunday. Use the proper chant Vidi aquam [Liber usualis, p.12] -- or -- [Booklet of Chant, Volume 3 CNP Catalog #2003], or a brilliant English adaptation by Alex Hill which maintains the chant melody, "I Saw Water Flowing" CNP Catalog #3025.
