Manual para proclamadores de la palabra(Spanish Workbook for Lector) provides the ongoing instruction and advice that proclaimers need. It functions like a personal coach for each minister of the Word. Not only does it assist readers in preparing their assigned reading on a specific occasion, but when ministers of the Word read this resource every week as a way of reflecting on the readings, it strengthens their proclamation skills and deepens their spiritual lives so that they can touch the hearts of the assembly with their reading. Lector trainers can't be there during the week to help ministers of the Word practice for Sunday, but Manual para proclamadores de la palabra can be. It contains:

• the readings in large print for easy practice; words in bold are suggestions for emphasis
• commentaries that give background and explain the meaning of the reading, as well as advice on how to proclaim it
• margin notes with pronunciation guides and more tips for proclamation
• an instructive, inspiring introduction about the ministry and the role of the readings in the Mass.

If proclaiming the Word is your vocation, this is the tool you need to grow in your ministry. If training proclaimers is your responsibility, this is the tool you want to put in the hands of every minister of the Word to help them proclaim effectively.

This new edition of Prayers of the Faithful from Catholic Book Publishing reflects both the themes of Pope John Paul II and the vision of Pope Benedict XVI. The style of the prayer anticipates the dignity, accuracy, and quality of the new ICEL translation of the Roman Missal.

Elliott, Prayers of the Faithful contains Intercessions for all Sundays, solemnities, major feasts, and other occasions along with valuable supplementary material, including an Introduction explaining the history, development, and structure of the General Intercessions and directives on how to announce them, as well as music for the General Intercessions.

Throughout the history of the Church, Christians have consecrated time by pausing at various moments throughout the day to pray the Liturgy of the Hours (Guide for Celebrating Liturgy of the Hours). Children’s Daily Prayer is a form of the Liturgy of the Hours adapted for children. It helps guide children in a daily service of communal prayer, following the pattern of the Church’s Morning Prayer.

The heart of this annual resource is a simple order of prayer for each day and week that can be easily led by a child. Designed to fit seamlessly into your day, the entire prayer service takes no more than five to eight minutes. Daily Scripture texts have been carefully selected to help children “walk through the Bible” and become familiar with the great stories and themes of salvation history.

Children’s Daily Prayer 2025 through 2026 includes:

• An order of prayer for each day and week of the school year from August 24, 2025, to June 26, 2026
• Prayer services, suitable for classroom and large gatherings, for solemnities, feasts, and other special occasions
• An “About the Season” section explaining each liturgical time, its character, and how to create conducive prayer environments
• Send-home pages connecting children’s classroom and home lives

Instructions for parents on using the book with their children at home, and how to set up a prayer space.

Pronunciation guides have been added in the Opening sections and within the Scripture passages to accommodate young readers who will be leading prayer. Teachers, catechists, and parents can use Children's Daily Prayer to instill in children the habit of prayer and help form them in the heart of Christ's paschal mystery, the core and center of all liturgical prayer.
