Co-ordination
Specialist liturgical ministries are planned and performed by those who have the
necessary knowledge and skills. For example, musicians select appropriate
music and artists shape the liturgical environment. It is the responsibility of the
liturgy committee, however, to co-ordinate these various ministries and to
ensure that they are carried out with a common understanding of the spirit and
structure of the celebration and season.
The liturgy committee is the avenue for communication between the different
liturgical ministry groups in the parish. For example, it needs to ensure that
rosters for readers and ministers of communion are drawn up in such a way that
an individual performs only one liturgical ministry at a particular Mass.
Formation
In-service training is as important for those involved in liturgical ministry as it is
in any job. Another role of the parish liturgy committee is to provide
opportunities for spiritual and practical formation for its own members, for the
various liturgical ministers and for the parish as a whole. This can be done by
arranging guest speakers, using one of the many excellent training videos
available and by including information about liturgy in parish bulletins and
handouts (copies of the “Liturgy Lines”, for example!).
Evaluation
Looking back at the way feasts and seasons were celebrated is an important
learning experience for liturgy planners. What worked well that should be
retained? What needs to be revised, improved or eliminated in the future?
Some of the big questions that a liturgy committee might ask include: Are our
liturgies life-giving? Are parishioners able to participate easily in the liturgies?
What criticisms are people making and how do we address these?
Good liturgy doesn’t just happen. The members of parish liturgy
committees do important work on our behalf to ensure that in
worship we encounter the living God and enter into the paschal mystery
and are thereby nourished and sent out to continue to be the body of
Christ for the world.

Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
St. John Lateran is one of the four major
basilicas in Rome, together with St. Peter’s, St. Mary Major, and St. Paul Outside
the Walls. It is unique among the four since
it (not St. Peter's) is the cathedral church of
the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. Lateran
was the name of a Roman family whose
lands were seized for the Church by the
Emperor Constantine, and which then became the site of a great basilica dedicated
in honour of John the Baptist. The basilica
now has a triple dedication in honour of St.
John the Baptist, St. John the Evangelist,
and our Lord. Across the front of the basilica is a Latin inscription that says, "This is
the mother and head of all churches in the
whole world." It is a reminder of why the
dedication of this one church is celebrated
by the universal Church: we are one family,
one flock, and led by one shepherd, the
successor of St. Peter.
REFLECTION
This text is often cited as one of the passages that shows the
humanity of Jesus. He becomes very angry at what he sees
as a desecration of the Temple-his Father’s house. And yet
this Gospel is full of surprises. Jesus drives out the very
people who are necessary for the Temple to function. Offering sacrifice was a vital part of the religion of Israel and a
central function of the Temple priesthood. It was
sacrilegious to bring Roman coinage with its images of the
Emperor-god into the Temple precinct. All coins had to be
changes to Tyrian coinage. Money changers were necessary,
as were those who sold the animals needed for sacrifice:
larger beasts for the wealthy and cheaper pigeons for the
poor. Jesus was angry that the commercial aspect of the
Temple cult had assumed such importance. More than this,
his actions point to a new reality. The Temple cult has now
been replaced by the living sanctuary of his own presence
among people. God is present beyond the Temple of wood
and stone. Jesus, though his death and resurrection, is to
become the living presence of God, a reality that the
disciples are yet to grasp fully.

What puts a fire in your belly?
 What signs have you seen so far in your journey that
Jesus has the words of eternal life?
