During summer Ordinary Time we will review fundamentals of liturgy, information that every church musician should know. The congregation also will benefit from a deeper knowledge of these liturgical principles. Parishes have permission to duplicate in church bulletins the material in these "Liturgical Hints & Ideas" sections.

The Mass: Introductory Rites

The Opening Song, an extension of the former Introit (meaning "entrance"), has a four-fold purpose. It begins the celebration, deepens our unity, introduces the mystery of the feast or season, and accompanies the procession of the priest and ministers to the altar. It is an important time for us to participate attentively, leaving worldly thoughts and cares behind and entering fully into the worshiping community.

In the Greeting we affirm our Christian faith with the Sign of the Cross. We dialogue, for the first of many times, with the priest, who acts in persona Christi ("in the person of Christ"). Both forms of the greeting, taken from the Epistles, were actually used by Saint Paul as salutations to the various churches to whom he was writing. The simple greeting, "Peace be with you," quoting not Saint Paul but Christ himself, is reserved to a bishop.
