Each year of Ordinary Time begins with readings from 1 Corinthians. Some commentators suggest that the texts are about the nature of the Church and so an important place to begin - who are we that receive these words. The challenge is that the letter contains some of the most famous passages in scripture and it is difficult to relegate them to a secondary position. My solution was roughly 1st reading/Gospel and first/last, 2nd reading with preparation and communion. I did wonder about alternatives to the opening hymn - particularly something which 'bridged the gap'.
