We all want to celebrate the liturgy well, to experience good, uplifting, and meaningful worship. But what is the best route to follow? In The Rites and Wrongs of Liturgy, Thomas O'Loughlin offers a way forward that strengthens faith, builds up Christian community, and points toward a new direction based on liturgical principles that are rooted in our natures as ritual beings as well as in the gospel.

The Rites and Wrongs of Liturgy explains why good liturgy is important, how to recognize it, and how to assess liturgy in terms of a larger vision of the Christian life. O'Loughlin, a seasoned theologian and teacher, identifies ten principles that make for good liturgy. Such liturgy must be honest, open, joyful, inclusive, celebrative of community, facilitative of engagement, based in creation, attentive to the marginalized, free of clutter, and true to the pattern of the incarnation.

Since good celebrations build faith and bad liturgy weakens it, these principles promise to bring new life and meaning to every celebrating community.

The Catholic bishops of the United States voted to consecrate the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. What does this mean?

Theologian Dr. Robert Stackpole offers a refresher on the devotion, diving deep into the revelations of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. Our Lord wished for everyone to welcome His offer of love; to return His love with love; to make reparation to His Heart for our many failures to return His love; to place all our trust in His Heart; to honor Him through the sign and symbol of His Heart; and to grow to love His Heavenly Father more and more — for our Lord's Sacred Heart is the living human reflection of the Father's eternal love for us all.

Jesus also told St. Margaret Mary that He desires to pour out upon humanity all the treasures of grace that flow from His Sacred Heart, and to inspire Catholics to work to establish the social reign of His Heart over families and nations everywhere.

In His Heart, Jesus is fashioning saints on fire with love for Him so that, even if the whole world seems to have forsaken our Lord, and all hope for the earthly triumph of the Catholic Faith seems to have vanished, yet still they will love Him with all their hearts, obey Him to the end, and hope in Him until His return.

The devotion to the Heart of Jesus, therefore, is all about fashioning saints in the Church filled with this heroic love. Walk through these chapters step-by-step, and rediscover the one Radiant Heart whose Light can never be put out, that forever shines amid the world's darkness, and that truly is "more brilliant than the sun."
