De la misa a la mision: La misa y su significado para nuestra vida cristiana by Trish Sullivan Vanni and Paul Turner

Every Sunday, Catholics gather together to attend Mass in memory of Jesus. At Mass we give God our thanksgiving, praise, and worship. We hear his Word and receive the Body and Blood of Christ. Participating at Mass is the most important thing Catholics do each week, for it is at Mass that we are changed, becoming what we have received in the Eucharist. The Mass charges us with an important mission to be Christ in a world that is broken and in need of healing.

This resource explores the parts of the Mass in a deeper way, helping you to better appreciate the meaning of the prayers, responses, acclamations, gestures, signs, and symbols. From Mass to Mission will inspire you to be more actively and consciously involved in the Mass and in the world as Christ's disciples. This booklet can be used by individuals, members of worship commissions, liturgical ministers, or in adult faith formation sessions. An accompanying leaders guide is available.

Rev. Stice offers insightful catechesis on the sacraments of vocation based on the methodology presented in Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's Sacramentum Caritatis. Guiding readers through the rites of Orders and Matrimony, Understanding the Sacraments of Vocation examines each of the rites' Old Testament foundations, liturgical history, and sacramental theology, exploring the way in which the sacraments of vocation affect and influence one's daily Christian life.

To facilitate use in adult faith formation groups, religious education classes, diaconate programs, and undergraduate sacraments courses, each chapter includes a number of different activities designed to help the reader review and synthesize the material, explore a given topic in greater detail, or deepen his or her experience of the liturgy. Steeped in the words, actions, and signs of the rites themselves, this study will be especially useful for those involved in preparing others for reception of the sacraments of Holy Orders or Matrimony, including catechists, liturgists, seminarians, priests, and deacons.

El matrimonio es una opción de por vida y un sacramento, y prepararse para él implica más que planear la ceremonia de bodas. Con el paso del tiempo, los esposos tendrán oportunidad de reflexionar, dialogar y tomar las medidas necesarias para estar más unidos en mente, cuerpo y corazón. A través del Sacramento del matrimonio, los esposos se unen también al Señor y se convierten en un nuevo signo de su presencia en el mundo.
