Unit price perA Guide to the Period of Mystagogy - OWGMYS
$19.00
Unit price perAfter the excitement of the Easter Vigil, the period of mystagogy can often be overlooked by the initiation team and the neophytes. However, it is an essential part of the Christian initiation process because it helps the neophytes deepen their relationship with Christ and with the Church. Mystagogical reflection is an important part of the spiritual growth of all parishioners—from neophytes to lifelong Catholics—because it invites the faithful to reflect on their encounters with Christ in the sacraments and then consider the transformative effects those encounters have on their daily lives. A Guide to the Period of Mystagogy encourages members of the initiation team to make the most of this period and provides practical support to do so. It includes:
- An overview of six foundational principles of initiation ministry and how they are applied to the period of mystagogy
- Theological insights from the early Church’s practice of mystagogy
- Practical advice for implementing mystagogical reflection in your parish
- Nine mystagogical reflection sessions that can be used during Easter Time
- Fifteen mystagogical reflection sessions that can be used during the first year following initiation

$29.95
Unit price perMaxwell Johnson has made multiple contributions to our understanding of liturgical history and liturgical theology. This volume honors his work by offering a set of important essays by respected scholars that bridge the distance between scholarship and praxis, to be accessible and relevant to both pastoral ministers and academic theologians.
It is organized according to three categories: liturgical year, Christian initiation, and Eucharist. Within these categories, the contributors are especially attentive to three important aspects of liturgical history:
- the role that important figures in liturgical history played as liturgical pastors
- how liturgical history has been used in shaping contemporary liturgical rites and prayers
- how liturgical history informs contemporary understandings and beliefs
Ultimately, the book pays tribute to Johnson's contributions to the life of the church by exploring ways that the study of liturgical history might help the church remain faithful to God and to the sacramental worldview that continues to define and characterize classic Christianity.

Unit price perA deep strain of tribal politics is dividing societies around the globe. Organized religions are also coping with scandals, disappointments, and polarizing ideologies. The history of Christianity reveals that such frictions deeply wound the church. Fr. Richard S. Vosko recognizes that liturgical buildings are metaphorical expressions of the people of God. He proposes, in a relational way, that when all physical and psychological boundaries in a place of worship are removed people will discover a common ground. Building on theological foundations and design principles, Vosko envisions what an egalitarian "servant church" can look like. In a bold but thoughtful manner, he presents progressive insights into the fields of church art and architecture.

Unit price perBaptismal Ecclesiology and the Order of Christian Funerals - OWBECF
$21.95
Unit price perBaptismal Ecclesiology and the Order of Christian Funerals by Stephen S. Wilbricht, csc; Foreword by H. Richard Rutherford, csc
Throughout this work, Fr. Stephen S. Wilbricht, csc, emphasizes the link between Baptism and death, assisting Christians in grasping who we are called to be in this life as disciples and who we are promised to become in eternal life as saints. As the author points out the centrality of baptismal identity to the funeral liturgy, he makes apparent that the union established at Baptism continues until all reach Christ. Such an appreciation for life in the Body of Christ will help the community recognize both their responsibilities at the death of a member and the union that remains with that member as all journey to the divine. Wilbricht explores the Church's theology of Baptism and death, and provides pastoral suggestions that will encourage communities to carry out their commitment to care for the grieving and bury the dead.

Unit price perConfirmation: How the Sacrament of God's Grace Became All About Us-NN3522
$19.95
Unit price perWhat are we doing when we confirm teenagers? Why is the religious education of teenagers so perplexing? Why is confirmation often a moment of "graduation" out of parish life?
Confirmation: How a Sacrament of God's Grace Became All about Us tells the story of how confirmation, more than any other sacrament, has interacted with secular culture to give rise to these kinds of pastoral challenges. At the same time, confirmation has, over the course of the twentieth century, become a sacramental stamp of approval for various Catholic renewal movements.
The cultural shifts of the last century have led to various theological themes for confirmation, creating a crisis of meaning today. Is confirmation a personal choice for faith, or is it the deepening of an ongoing relationship with the Divine? Timothy Gabrielli gives us a fresh approach for addressing these pressing questions.

Unit price perConnecting Pulpit and Pew: Breaking Open the Conversation about Catholic Preaching-NN3769
$19.95
Unit price perWhether you preach from a pulpit or sit in a pew, you hope (and pray) for a homily that connects the Good News with life. But what does it mean to connect? In a world that buzzes with the synapses of technological "connection," can the human touch of preaching make a difference anymore?
Connecting Pulpit and Pew is a fresh look at the conundrum of Catholic preaching, asking six key questions:
- Why does Sunday preaching matter and to whom?
- Why is Catholic preaching such an uphill climb?
- How can we connect the Gospel message with our young people?
- What are the struggles of clergy-on-the-ground in preaching?
- What is going on in the listener's head during the homily?
- And finally, what can each of us do to help "connection" in preaching become more common?
New research speaks to those questions from the voices of youth, the experiences of lay leaders, and the words of priests and deacons. Karla Bellinger offers concrete ways to connect the pulpit and the pew so that preaching becomes an act of love within a community of caring. This practical book breaks open an important and necessary conversation.
