From an author with a lifetime spent teaching theology and being active in promoting liturgical education and practices. This book offers an account of the major phases of the development of the Roma Rite.
The purpose is to help readers come to a mindfulness about the Mass that takes them beyond seeing it as holy ceremonial to be regulated and that thinking rightly about it requires thinking about what God is doing in it, the kind of thinking done in this book.
**Of interest to lay presiders as well as to clergy.
This new revision of New Sunday & Holy Day Liturgies contains a lot of new material, including new homilies. There are two additional major improvements.
The first of these is a better Scripture Note focussed on ensuring that they convey the essence of the readings.
The second improvement concerns parts of the Mass such as the Introduction, the Confiteor, the Prayer of the Faithful, which are now more closely related to the particular feast (or Sunday) that is being celebrated.
This book offers 26 funeral services, each on a specific theme – half of them written to refer to the phase of life at which a person died. The book also includes four Remembrance Liturgies, as well as four Rites of Committal, 12 Prayer Services, and 16 Reflections, many of which did not appear in the earlier work.
