Whether you spend three minutes or linger longer, these reflections will center your heart and mind on the true meaning of the season.

What should preachers aim for in Sunday preaching? In 1982, the USCCB document Fulfilled in Your Hearing: The Homily in the Sunday Assembly answered this question. Here, in a pastoral commentary on Fulfilled in Your Hearing, several Catholic scholars in homiletics, liturgy, and biblical studies both appreciate the abiding insights of Fulfilled in Your Hearing and also propose areas for continuing reflection. Following the four sections of the Bishops' document, The Assembly, The Preacher, The Homily, and Homiletic Method, this commentary emphasizes the document's continuing importance for the initial and ongoing formation of Catholic liturgical preachers, while also inviting conversation about present-day cross-cultural, liturgical, and communication concerns for Catholic preaching.

Priests, deacons, seminarians, bishops, and all others engaged in the preaching task are invited to deepen their appreciation of the homily's unique role in the liturgical life of the church and to stir their enthusiasm for preaching and preaching preparation.

Preaching stoles are shorter and narrower than standard priest overlay stoles. They taper around the neck from approximately 2-1/2" wide to 4-1/2" wide at the bottom.  They measure approximately 49" long from back of neck.

The Lectionary is made up of selected passages from the Bible, placed within a literary and liturgical context. This new context calls for a consideration of the liturgical character and setting of the Lectionary readings. Preaching the New Lectionary: Year C, offers readers that interpretation.

Preaching the New Lectionary is unique. First, it employs a literary-liturgical way of interpreting all the readings of each Sunday and major feast of the liturgical year, including the often overlooked responsorial psalm. Second, it explicitly situates the interpretation of each day within the theology of its respective liturgical season. This theology is drawn from the specific themes of the readings that comprise that particular year rather than from more general themes associated with the season. The meaning of the entire season becomes the context for understanding the individual parts of it. Third, the lections are also read in sequential order from the first Sunday of that season to the last. This reading interprets the function of the literary forms, thus providing yet another way of interpreting the riches of the readings.

This way of reading and understanding the Lectionary has potential for liturgical ministry. It can quicken the religious imagination of homilists, thus providing fresh new possibilities for liturgical preaching. It offers creative insights for those involved in the liturgical preparation for the celebration of feasts and seasons. It can also act as a valuable resource for liturgical catechesis. The insights included in Preaching the New Lectionary contribute toward enhancing the liturgical lives of the faithful.

Preaching in congregations with many children is one of the most difficult challenges many preachers face. Whether you are a priest, deacon, catechist, or prayer leader, this book offers practical help in crafting specific homilies for children. Drawing on insights gleaned within the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Garrido helps preachers understand key characteristics of childhood and children's spirituality and presents ways to reflect on Scripture through the lens of the young child.

Join Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR—founder of Corazón Puro—on a multimedia Advent journey led by the saints and the Holy Family to prepare yourself to enter into the story of Christ’s birth through prayer, charity, and joyful acts of service to the needy.

Prepare Your Heart features stunning original art by Valerie Delgado of Pax.Valerie, along with daily meditations on a passage from scripture, reflection questions, prayer, and space for journaling and notetaking.

Sin wounds our relationship with God, with ourselves, and with others. In his great love, God calls us to reconcile with him, to experience a conversion of heart that moves us to feel contrition for the thoughts, behaviors, and the inaction that harm ourselves and our relationships with him and others. In the sacrament of reconciliation, we are invited to experience God's love and mercy.

Designed specifically for children who will celebrate the sacrament for the first time, Preparing for Confession for Children: Receiving God's Mercy will help young people get ready to confess their sins. Scripture passages will help children reflect on God's mercy. They will be guided to examine their conscience, to think about what to confess, and to pray before and after the sacrament. A downloadable pdf is also available to parents who want additional support and catechesis about the sacrament.

The booklet, appropriately sized for small hands, can be brought to confession and is ideal for children in Catholic schools and religious education programs.

Presencia real: significa y por qu es importante?

Also available in English. See Here

¿Qué significa consumir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo en la Misa? ¿Es la Eucaristía solo un símbolo? ¿Está Cristo presente de la misma manera que lo estuvo con los discípulos en el aposento alto?

Si no estás seguro de cómo responder a estas preguntas sobre este misterio central de nuestra fe, no estás solo; la mayoría de los católicos no saben cómo responder. En Presencia real, el teólogo de la Universidad de Notre Dame, Timothy P. O'Malley, aclara la confusión al explicar los orígenes bíblicos y la larga tradición de las doctrinas de la Iglesia sobre la presencia real y la transubstanciación. También explora las prácticas espirituales necesarias para formarnos para reconocer a Cristo en la Eucaristía y ver al Señor en los demás.

Aprenderás:

• cómo la doctrina de la presencia real tiene sus raíces en la revelación divina y cómo la enseñanza de la Iglesia sobre la transubstanciación es espiritualmente fructífera para los creyentes de hoy;
• cómo adorar a Cristo en la Eucaristía y hacer un verdadero asentimiento a la presencia real;
• cómo la Eucaristía es crucial para hacer crecer nuestra capacidad de reconocer a Cristo en la Palabra y en los demás; y
• la importante relación entre la comunión eucarística y la adoración.

The baptized are called to serve God and the Church in a variety of ways, utilizing the gifts they have been given by the Holy Spirit. Some are called by God to serve in a special way. They have heard God's voice and have responded to his call by presenting themselves to the Church to be instituted as a lay catechist, a lector, or an acolyte or to be ordained as a bishop, a priest, or a deacon. The ceremonies of institution and ordination set apart these members of the Catholic faithful as servant leaders, and these liturgical rites affirm the special charisms that have been bestowed upon them by the Holy Spirit.

In Present for God's Call, Fr. Paul Turner provides the historical evolution of the rites of institution and ordination as well as a pastoral overview of the current Latin texts and English translations of these rites. This book is a timely and important liturgical study on the vocational and ministerial roles in the Church, especially for women, who are now permitted to serve as instituted lectors, acolytes, and catechists.

Unique to Fr. Turner's study is the emphasis on the faithful's role in the rites of institution and ordination. The ordination ceremonies expect that the assembly be prepared and that they fully participate in these rites. The entire local Church is called to prepare to take part in these rites, and this book provides one way for this formation to take place.
