The Lectionary is interesting this week. I think it is the only week where the first line is a repeat of the last line of the week before. Also the psalm is an interpretation of the first reading which shapes the reading of the Gospel - rather than being directly related to it.

I think there is a temptation this week to focus on the reading from 1 Corinthians - because it is a well known passage and there are a number of pieces that are related to it. A consequence of singing the Missal Communion Antiphons is that we have not used Psallite recently - and the setting of 1 Corinthins is I think a lovely piece.
