Most of our secular media remain clueless about liturgy and wouldn&#8217;t even know what questions to ask, so it was good to see a fuller account of the texts and the musical selections from someone who knows what went into the planning.<\/p>\n<p>Under pandemic restrictions, the music was necessarily limited in congregational song, yet it was rich in other respects and it seems to me that the experience on the whole would have been warmly accessible to this diverse assembly. In terms of spoken texts, the Eucharistic Prayer from &#8220;Masses for Various Needs: Jesus, Who Went About Doing Good&#8221; seems to me particularly well-chosen. The intercessions also were spot on, covering a lot of ground with admirable clarity and sobriety.
