One of the great gifts of the liturgical movement in the mid-twentieth century was the recovery of Evening Prayer as a public daily service meant for the whole church, and not just something to be celebrated in monasteries or as a private devotion. Prominent liturgical historians and musicians of the 1960s and 70s, many of whom taught at and/or were alumni of the liturgical studies program at the University of Notre Dame, were instrumental in recovering the ancient “cathedral-style” of Evening Prayer (Vespers). This style included the now famous Lucenarium rite as well as a robust sense of congregational participation throughout the liturgy witnessed to in early church documents such as the diary of the pilgrim Egeria. Such a cathedral style of Evening Prayer, though first recovered by Roman Catholics, has subsequently been adopted by many Protestant traditions for use in their own communities. (See, for example, page 1040 of Psalms for All Seasons). Tonight’s liturgy is based on Sunday Vespers particularly as it is celebrated in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart on the campus of the University of Notre Dame during Ordinary Time, with additional content taken from the 2018 Book of Common Worship and other sources.

The gospel of John is the most overtly theological of the four gospels in the New Testament. Not only does John include a number of key teaching moments, but the entire gospel builds a larger theological edifice that presents rich opportunities for preaching. This workshop will take note of the book’s key characteristics and ponder the preaching possibilities in the fourth gospel.
