Eucharistic Celebration : The Source And Summit Of Faith
$19.95
The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy says “The Church earnestly desires that Christ’s faithful, when present at this mystery of faith, should not be there as strangers or silent spectators. On the contrary, through a good understanding of the rites and prayers they should take part in the sacred action, conscious of what they are doing, with devotion and full collaboration.”
What is needed and what the author offers here is that “good understanding” of the meaning and value of the Mass. After examining its historical development, Professor Adam explains each part of the Mass as it is currently celebrated. He uses understandable terminology and a form of presentation designed to increase appreciation of the Mass among the faithful and to provide the knowledge and impetus to achieve this in family and group discussions, in catechetical instruction, and in preaching.

Mothers Lovers Priests Prophets And Kings
$14.99Add to cartMothers, Lovers, Priests, Prophets, and King provides a doorway to enter into the world of the Old Testament for both the casual and the more experienced reader. The newcomer to scripture will find an easily accessible group of stories about people who look and act just like the characters we know today and whose encounters with God leave us wondering what God has in store for us. The more experienced reader will come to know the God of the Old Testament more closely and see there the One who came to dwell with us as Jesus Christ. Both readers will take away from the book a deeper appreciation of the nature of scripture as a Living Word, a greater understanding of the connection between God in the Old Testament and God in the New, and a better awareness of the multifaceted nature of God’s interaction with us. This book helps readers begin to answer the questions: Who is the God we meet in scripture? Who is God for me now? How is God revealed in the patterns and experiences of my life?
Individuals and groups will find this book helpful in bible studies, small church groups, and as a way of sparking conversation about our images of God and what our relationship with God looks like. Readers will be able to place themselves in these stories and discover what God has to say to them. Those using the book for individual reading will be able to move from the scripture to the meditation to guiding questions and prayer designed to enhance their experience.
If you have been looking for a book that concisely, prayerfully and joyfully points to the beauty and truth of God through the stories of God’s people and then lets you discover for yourself the movement of God in your life, this book is for you.

Red White Blue And Catholic
$14.99Add to cartWhen’s the last time you consciously thought about being an American citizen? The last time you thought about being both a citizen and a Christian? If you’re like most Americans, it probably had something to do with a hot button political issue, and it came up around the time you were headed to a voting booth.
But, as Stephen P. White says, most of how we live as Catholic citizens doesn’t happen in a voting booth. Most of the ways in which we shape our nation happen elsewhere. The Church’s work of evangelization and her contribution to the good of society are inseparable, and as Catholic citizens we are called to do more than vote.
Think of this book as a Catholic guide to faithful citizenship for the 364 days of the year that aren’t the first Tuesday in November. As Catholic citizens, we are called to be sensitive to the needs of our neighbors. We are called to care about both physical poverty and spiritual poverty. But most importantly, we are called to follow Christ.
