I am privileged to be attending the National Liturgy Conference in Wollongong, Australia, this week. I thought Pray Tell<\/em> readers might find a report on the conference of interest. (It will also explain why I have taken a holiday from my examination of Sacrosanctum Concilium for the month of January.)<\/p>\n

The conference opened on Wednesday, 15 January 2014, with an opening Mass at Wollogong\u2019s St. Francis Xavier Cathedral presided over by their Ordinary, Bishop Peter Ingham, DD. Music selections included Dan Schutte\u2019s \u201cHere I Am, Lord\u201d as the Entrance Song, David Haas\u2019 \u201cBlessed Are They\u201d as the song at the Preparation of the Offerings, my \u201cTake and Eat\u201d as the Communion Processional Song, Christopher Walker\u2019s \u201cTake the Word of God with You\u201d as the Recessional. Featured Australian composers included Paul Mason, whose \u201cMass of Glory and Praise\u201d provided the service music and whose setting of Psalm 39\/40 was sung as the Responsorial Psalm, and Richard Connolly, whose \u201cSing A New Song,\u201d to James Philip McAuley\u2019s text, provided a model post-Communion congregational song of praise. Bishop Ingham\u2019s homily both grappled with the implications of the Gospel account of the cure of Peter\u2019s mother in law for our own spiritual lives and the blessings brought by Vatican II\u2019s liturgical renewal for the Church.<\/p>\n

After a welcome to country by Sherrynne Freeman, acknowledging the aboriginal peoples\u2019 stewardship of the land on which the conference is being held, a welcome to the diocese by Bishop Ingham, and a greeting on behalf of the Holy Father by the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Paul Gallagher, Mark Coleridge, the Archbishop of Melbourne, offered the first keynote: \u201cWorld, Word, Worship: The Liturgy in Context according to Vatican II.\u201d In his address, Archbishop Coleridge presented a symphonic reading of Vatican II\u2019s four constitutions as they treated the topic of scripture and liturgy, especially drawing on the insights of Gaudium et Spes 12 and 37, Dei Verbum 2, Lumen Gentium 6, and Sacrosanctum Concilium 24. His symphonic reading led to the following six assertions: 1) God creates the human being in his own image; 2) God calls the human being to co-create with him; 3) God opens a dialogue of interpersonal communion with the human being, so that the human being may come to share in the divine nature; 4) Within this dialogue, God reveals to the human being the full truth of Himself in Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit; 5) Within this dialogue, God reveals to the human being the full truth about the human being in Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit; 6) Within this dialogue, God speaks metaphorically, lest the human eye cease to see or to see too clearly. Liturgy proclaims, embodies, witnesses to and equips the Church for mission in the light of these assertions.<\/p>\n

The participants were then treated to a lavish Australian barbeque on the grounds of St. Mary\u2019s College, followed by a celebration of the 50thanniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, i.e., we had a party! This proved a wonderful introduction to the conference and a great opportunity for socializing among the more than 600 participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
