Kathy horan provides a brief introduction to the Church’s teachings on reconciliation and explains how the celebration of the sacrament has changed since the Second Vatican Council. She uses brief reflections from Scripture to demonstrate that Jesus always proclaimed God’s readiness to forgive our wrongdoings no matter the circumstances.

Reconciliation aims to support you as you help your child prepare to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. Its main teaching is that the sacrament re-affirms the constant truth of God’s love and forgiveness for the times we fail and need forgiveness.

ing

In recent years there has been a renewed emphasis on understanding sacramental celebrations as parish events. Parents are engaged more significantly in the process of preparing their children to celebrate the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist. This collaboration has come about as a result of a rediscovery of how the sacraments were celebrated in the early Church. As a result, the Church once again speaks of the ‘process of initiation’ and sees Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist as steps along the path to becoming fully initiated members of a parish community and the Catholic Church. In some dioceses this has meant that Confirmation is now celebrated at the time of First Eucharist rather than at the end of primary school.

Becoming Catholic sets out to explain to parents the changes that have taken place in the celebration of the sacraments: • Why is everything different now? • What does it mean to be part of a Christian community? • Why do we call Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, ‘the sacraments of Initiation’? • What are the different ways of celebrating Reconciliation today? • How can parents help in the preparation of their children? • What are the parts of the Mass and how do we participate?

In the tradition of the Friendly Guides series A Friendly Guide to Prayer is a beautifully presented book. Its restful tones and exquisite images marry perfectly with the moving text so eloquently presented by Michael Whelan. This is a book for everyone, for the novice, the student, the experienced, the expert. There is something here to touch everyone’s heart.

A FRIENDLY GUIDE TO

Here we are at the heart of prayer as it is understood within the Catholic Tradition. It is the way we will speak of prayer throughout this book – being present to the Presence. Our focus will therefore be primarily on attitudes and dispositions rather than specific acts and rituals. It is the prayerful person we are most interested in, rather than the person who says prayers, the prayerful life rather than the life that contains times of prayer.”

About the Author Michael Whelan is a Marist Father and was ordained in 1972. He gained his PhD in 1984, while studying under Adrian van Kaam at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Michael is Director of the Aquinas Academy in Sydney where he also lectures in spirituality. In 1994 Michael helped set up Catalyst for Renewal which is dedicated to promoting conversation for renewal within the Catholic Church and beyond. He is currently the Executive Director of that association. He was Editor of its journal, The Mix (1996-2007). In 1995 he co-founded Spirituality in the Pub which currently operates in a number of venues around Australia. He is the author of three books and a number of journal articles in the field of Spirituality.

In this process A Friendly Guide to Prayer is gentle guide and challenging coach, encouraging the reader to broaden and deepen their prayer life, offering support and providing opportunities for experience as well as knowledge.

MOLONEY

The Friendly Guides series by John Garratt Publishing

What follows is a further attempt to reach out to all Christians who live under the Word of God, to unlock a powerful story about Jesus, written in rough Greek almost two thousand years ago.

A FRIENDLY GUIDE TO MARK’S GOSPEL

ollowing the success of A friendly guide to the New Testament, renowned scripture scholar Francis J Moloney now turns his attention to the Gospel of Mark. The earliest and shortest of the four Gospels, Mark is a challenging portrait of Jesus as a healer and miracle worker, and as the Christ, Son of Man and Son of God. Mark’s Gospel is explored in some detail, dealing with the structure of the whole narrative and examining specific passages more closely. In keeping with the philosophy of the Friendly Guides, the text, although scholarly, maintains its readability and appeal, and is enhanced by superb design, images and elegant calligraphy.

SECONDARY SCHOOL RESOURCES

Teaching Social Justice to Students in the 21st Century Ecological conversion is the radical change of mind and heart that leads to a deeper love and respect for all creatures as having their own integrity before God: it involves change to a sustainable lifestyle, to sustainable patterns of production and consumption and to sustainable economic and political choices.

Bruce Duncan

In this book Denis Edwards encourages Christians to wholeheartedly embrace ecological conversion and to connect with people around the globe in their deepening commitment to the survival of life on Earth.

Father Denis’s book is a wonderful read for anyone with an interest in exploring theology and our home, planet Earth. In this book Denis gives us the fundamentals of ecological theology and he has done this all with great skill. The text is clear, accessible and compelling. His treatment of Jesus and the Natural World is of particular importance in our times as we struggle to come to terms with our responsibilities towards the Earth. Not only is this book suited to the individual reader, it is especially attractive as a genuine tool for learning in a classroom setting or adult study group owing to its many questions for reflection and Denis’s insightful answers. We are blessed to have the fundamentals of ecological theology offered to us so clearly today.

Fr Denis Edwards is associate professor of theology at Flinders University and teaches for the Catholic Theological College in Adelaide. He has written extensively on the relationship between theology and science subjects.

Enrich your student’s understanding of how biblical and Catholic traditions may be applied to social justice issues: from climate change to economic crises to the plight of Australia’s indigenous peoples. A must read for anyone interested in a fairer world. Edwards shows that stewardship is pivotal in the Christian message, and that the process of conversion includes a responsibility that all creation is a precious gift that is to be loved, respected and protected. The evergrowing movement of people who are connected in a deepening commitment to the good of the community of life on Earth is a strengthening force that includes people living in large cities, country towns and on the land, farmers, artists, school children, scientists, industrialists, politicians and religious leaders.

DEnis EDwARDs

For Christians, the deepest reason for this conversion is that we see the Earth and all its creatures as God’s good creation, the creation that God radically embraces in the incarnation of the Word made flesh. Because of this, in 2001, Pope John Paul II stressed the importance of the change of mind and of life that he called ‘ecological conversion’. After speaking of the way humans have devastated so much of the natural world, he continued: ‘We must therefore encourage and support the “ecological conversion” which in recent decades has made humanity more sensitive to the catastrophe to which it has been heading’.

TEACHING & LEADERSHIP RESOURCES

Unleash the enormous potential of your Catholic school Ideal for CEOs

Crucial reading for every Catholic school teacher Take your Catholic school leadership to the next level with this cutting-edge, thought-provoking seriesthe Mission and Education series, created in partnership with The Broken Bay Institute. Written by highly-acclaimed Australian Catholic educators and authors, the Mission and Education series challenges everyone involved in Catholic education, to explore how to put the ‘catholic’ back into Catholic schools and why it is so important.

‘At a time when government funding policies are causing Catholic education systems and school leaders to focus on the future economic prospects for Catholic schooling across Australia, Jim and Therese D’Orsa have written a book that represents the canary in the coal mine. In what they refer to as this liminal era, Catholic schooling faces new and serious risks to the integrity of its mission. This is a challenge that must engage all leaders in Catholic education if our schools are to be places where Jesus’ message of the Kingdom is a lived reality, not a history lesson. What is required is leaders who are skilled not only in strategic and operational leadership but also in mission leadership: which is the focus of this outstanding book. Mission leadership utilizes theological reflection to enhance mission thinking which assists Catholic school leaders to respond to the multi-dimensional challenges of secularisation. The book is both sophisticated and practical, which has great appeal for Catholic school and system leaders who are seeking imaginative and thought-provoking ways to develop a sure-footedness in their leadership in these uncertain times. This is certainly a book for the times and all those who treasure the mission that engages the hearts and minds of Catholic educators/leaders in our efforts to create the Kingdom spaces which transform death-dealing post-modern culture into life-giving God-giftedness.’

Jim D’Orsa Jim D’Orsa is a Catholic educator with an extensive history of teaching and senior leadership in schools and systems. He was a pioneer in preparing lay leaders to take on the development of vision and mission in Catholic colleges. Jim lectures at the Broken Bay institute, is a visiting lecturer at Yarra Theological Union, and research associate of the mCD University of Divinity.

‘In Leading for Mission: Integrating Life, Culture and Faith in Catholic Education, Jim and Therese D’Orsa, together with the other contributors, have given us a sterling account of a striking story, one of a never-ending journey of leadership for mission and vision. The reflection on the terrain which the Church, and particularly its educational mission, has traversed in this country leaves no room for complacency. The assessment of where we are now impels us to continually revise, renew and amend our mission and our vision. This is because ours is a mission never finally achieved, but always remains the goal of pilgrimage, and of a vision both Spirit-filled and open to the realities of the world. Insightful, challenging, and constructive, this book is a “must-read” for those involved in today’s Church—especially for its leaders—and those responsible for the ever-adapting processes of Catholic education.’

An excellent book that combines intricate knowledge and understanding of updated curriculum thinking with piercing insight into the challenges implied by such thinking for Catholic schools. The book challenges a range of facile approaches to being a Catholic school in a public setting, including that the Catholic school can ignore its wider public context or that being Catholic means simply adding a layer of RE to an essentially public enterprise. The book goes to the heart of the justification of Catholic schooling by illustrating a range of differences that might be notable in a distinctively Catholic Curriculum. In a day and age of much talk about Catholicity and Catholic Identity, the D’Orsas make it plain that there is no simple formula, nor can it ever be viable that there is only one way of being Catholic. ‘Catholic Curriculum’ is a complex term that can only be meaningfully applied in the real context of a multitude of societal influences and educational stakeholders. The book’s stated task is to reframe the conversation around Catholic Curriculum, a goal well achieved in my view

If Catholic schools and colleges are to preserve their true mission and their religious integrity in the face of secularism and the colonising power of ‘national economic requirements’, then they must possess a distinctive cultural heart which is an authentic Catholic Curriculum. Drawing upon the wisdom of theology, missiology, sociology, history, philosophy and anthropology, the authors of this impressive text have produced a major educational resource to show Catholic educators how this could be achieved.

This book is a major religious and professional resource to help us all to remember this and to come to a deeper understanding of what that means in practice. It is a groundbreaking and pioneering study of mission theology and mission practice in Catholic education and it should be read by all those involved in professional development and advanced study courses in Catholic education.
