I'm trying to implement Communion Antiphons at my parish using the ones from Andrew Motyka. I can't figure out why the antiphon doesn't match what's in the Missal. For the 13th Sunday in OT year B, can someone explain why his version doesn't match up? Our hymnals/missalette combo has the communion antiphons hidden, so parishioners wouldn't know the difference either way. Thanks in advance!
The missal antiphons were (mostly) newly created and are meant to be read (although the US has permission for these to be set to music). Anyway, the missal cycle of antiphons is independent of the gradual’s, but Andrew’s project uses the chants of the gradual.
