Today's Liturgy of the Word is a good example of one of the relationships between the readings. Jesus takes Isaiah's prophecy and retells it - and when the owner of the vineyard sends his son? The psalm response is taken from the first reading and spells out the meaning of the tale — the psalm verses are poetic retelling of the first reading.
There seemed to be a number of options for the Entrance song. Some ideas took the image of the cornerstone from the Gospel — The stone which the builders rejected or Christ is made the sure foundation. For familiarity at the beginning of term we went for Here I am, Lord for the image of being sent.
A new translation note. I have know accompanist during the Eucharistic Prayer desperately needing the text so that they come in at the right time. This is something our accompanist has never needed not because of deep attention to the text but I think an (unconscious) appreciation of rhythm and structure. This does not seem to have been affected by the new translation — in other words he knows his eschatocol from his elbow.
