PREACHING AS PAYING ATTENTION Theological Reflection in the Pulpit Edward Foley, Capuchin Paperback, 6 x 9, 160 pages 978-1-61671-637-0 Order code: PPA $18.95 E-book: $15.95

Author Ed Foley—priest, preacher, and teacher—invites preachers to an awareness of the world and the people around them as a lens for preaching God’s Incarnate Word and inviting people into the Paschal Mystery. He maintains that paying attention is a key to theological reflection. When pondering a work of art or a catastrophe, the preacher asks, “Where is God in all of this?” and “How does my preaching invite people to respond to that presence?” Fr. Foley presents excerpts of his own homilies and references to poets, scientists, and other resources—some a bit surprising—as models and suggestions that might draw a preacher’s attention as a sign of God present and active in our midst. In short, this book offers a mindset, not a method, for preachers.

EDWARD FOLEY, CAPUCHIN is a Roman Catholic priest and member of the Province of St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order. The Duns Scotus Professor Emeritus of Spirituality and Retired Professor of Liturgy and Music at Catholic Theological Union, he was the founding director of the Ecumenical Doctor of Ministry degree jointly offered by Catholic Theological Union, the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and McCormick Theological Seminary. An award-winning author and celebrated preacher, he has been honored with lifetime achievement awards from national and international organizations and is a recent recipient of a major grant for preaching from the John Templeton

“The practice of theological reflection—so widely embraced in pastoral and spiritual formation— has rarely been talked about in homiletic preparation, but no more. Foley’s work facilitates a needed connection between disciplines that promises to bear much fruit.” Ann M. Garrido | Associate Professor of Homiletics, Aquinas Institute of Theology

“In this wise book, Foley inspires preachers to witness to Christ in our midst and God at work in the chaos of life by turning their attention not away from but beyond lectionary, liturgy, and Church to sacredly notice God present in the great and small moments of life. Foley demonstrates how God, present in art, film, poetry, and science, enlivens sermon preparation and renders the Gospel more relevant so the assembly expects to encounter the divine in everyday life. Yet the true gift of this book is a scholar and teacher who never ceased to be preacher and priest, welcoming us into a ministry and process he obviously loves.” Craig Alan Satterlee | Bishop in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Former teacher of preaching at Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and the University of Notre Dame

“This book is a gift from Ed Foley to preachers and to those who attend to their words. In six formative chapters, this book calls out for an attentive presence to word and community. Paying attention becomes the cornerstone for creative preaching, inviting renewal and justice in worshipping communities.” Reverend Richard N. Fragomeni | Professor of Liturgy and Preaching, Catholic Theological Union

Foundation. He also serves his Capuchin community as the Vice-Postulator for the Canonization process for Blessed Solanus Casey.

“Many a preacher longs for a “how to” manual, wanting to become one of those spellbinding ministers who can break open the Word in ways that lead hearers into beauty, awe, holy mystery—into the very heart of God—while connecting the dots of graced encounter of peoples’ daily realities. Ed Foley is such a preacher. Every minister of the Word will want to learn from his wisdom gleaned through a lifetime of attending and reflecting, gathered into this gem of a book.” Barbara E. Reid, op, President and Carroll Stuhlmueller,cp, Distinguished Professor of New Testament Studies | Catholic Theological Union www.ltp.org

NEW RELEASE THUS SAYS THE LORD The Prophets in the Liturgy Richard J. Clifford, sj Paperback, 5 3⁄8 x 8 3⁄8, 128 pages 978-1-61671-640-0 Order code: LBPL $10.95 E-book: $8.95

All year long the prophets speak to us at Mass, often beginning their message with “Thus says the Lord.” They thunder. They comfort. They scold. They encourage. They sometimes speak in beautiful poetry, often sounding urgent, sometimes sounding strange. Their purpose was to reveal to the people what God expected, and now, over two and a half millennia later, they are still fulfilling that purpose. Although we can usually catch connections between the readings from the Old Testament prophets and the readings of the New Testament, most of us don’t know much about the actual situations the prophets were responding to when they wrote, or what it was like to be a prophet in the ancient world. Old Testament scholar Richard J. Clifford sj has written this book to help us understand the prophets and so draw more meaning from their words in the liturgy. RICHARD J. CLIFFORD, sj, is a Professor of Old Testament, and a Jesuit priest. He taught biblical studies at Weston Jesuit School of Theology in Cambridge from 1970 to 2008 and was Founding Dean of the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry from 2008-2010. He is a graduate of Boston College (ab, ma), Weston Jesuit School of Theology (stl) and Harvard University (phd). He was General Editor of the Catholic Biblical Quarterly and is a former President of the Catholic Biblical Association. As well as teaching and lecturing in scholarly circles, he is also active in adult education in various New England dioceses.

He begins with what we hear at Mass—with the way the lectionary presents the prophets to us now, in contrast to the way they were heard (seldomly) before the Second Vatican Council. The author explains how we can best interpret the prophets— in their own context and within the Christian tradition. Professor Clifford takes us into the ancient near east to explain the calling of the prophet. He introduces us to those who prefigured the prophets, such as Abraham and Moses, then to those we know from the many stories about them—Elijah and Elisha. He moves on to the many prophets who wrote as well as preached (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Baruch, Amos, and so forth), and then he zooms in on Isaiah, the prophet we hear from most often in the liturgy. In this survey, the author explains what is known about each prophet and the situation in which he worked, then discusses how the text associated with him is structured, its distinguishing features, and what parts of it appear in the lectionary. Finally, we learn how the prophets communicated effectively in their oral society, how they understood their mission, and how they understood God’s purpose. This brief but deep and sympathetic introduction to the prophets will help readers appreciate more fully the meaning of the prophets’ messages—for their audience and for us.

MICHAEL E. CONNORS, csc, phd, is the Director of the John S. Marten Program for Homiletics and Liturgics at the University of Notre Dame.

HOLY PEOPLE, HOLY PLACE

The Rites for the Dedication of a Church and an Altar, Second Edition

Essays on Liturgy, Life, and Discipleship Edited by Timothy A. Johnston

Thomas G. Simons Paperback, 6 x 9, 112 pages 978-1-61671-530-4 Order code: BSC $14.95

Paperback, 8 x 10, 256 pages 978-1-61671-575-5 Order code: DEDCH2 $29.95

This pastoral resource explores the riches found in the Order of the Dedication of a Church and an Altar and is an essential guide for those looking to understand the Church’s rites for dedication, the blessing of sacred objects, and much more. Using texts from the ritual, the author provides the reader a pastoral theology of what it means to be church and how the building itself shapes our identity in Christ. The rituals are metaphors that teach us and shape us into who we are called to be: the Church of breath and bone that gathers in a church of brick and board. This is an invaluable resource for building committees, liturgy preparation teams, and serious students of liturgy. “Holy People, Holy Place is a wholly in depth study of the significance of the word Church, examining the surplus of meanings that the word offers. Recommended to all who are preparing to construct or renovate a church building, Father Simons ponders the richness of who Christians are and how the buildings and the rituals of blessings shape our lives and holy imaginations.

As the source and summit of the Christian life, the liturgy draws us into the mysteries of Christ’s life and sends us forth to be a sacrament of God’s love and mercy in the world. Beyond the Sanctuary: Essays on Liturgy, Life, and Discipleship, invites the reader to discover the relationship of liturgy to the modern world, evangelization, spirituality, music, art and beauty, catechesis, and social justice. Individuals, as well as study groups, and Catholic educators, will welcome this solid and accessible resource, which is designed to aid in pastoral formation and study. The contributors include Michael Driscoll; Katharine E. Harmon; Christian McConnell; Anne McGowan; Rodica Stoicoiu; Eric T. Styles; Mark Wedig, op; and Fabian R. Yanez.

As Catholics, how are we called to make a difference in a world that can be difficult to understand? Every weekend, parishes across our global church welcome millions on their faith journeys to share joy, pain, fellowship, and understanding. Finding a way to guide congregations through economic, cultural, and political problems is critical. We may not know exactly how Jesus would have handled specific issues of today, but we can look to his actions, words, and spirit to give us guidance for challenging situations. This resource provides a unique approach for understanding the important connection between the liturgy and the seven primary themes of Catholic social teaching. It will inspire you to deepen your relationship with God and with others, to become more aware of the needs of the world, and recommit yourself to live as Christ’s disciples in the world.

He also contributed to The Liturgy and Catholic Social Teaching: Participation in Worship and the World (2019) published by Liturgy Training Publications.

Catholic social teaching guides us in how we are to live the Gospel in today’s world. Liturgy forms us in these teachings and sends us out into the world to give witness to the Gospel. Organized by the seven themes of Catholic social teaching as developed by the United States bishops, this resource explores the intimate connection between liturgy and Catholic social teaching. It provides insights for parish teams on how Catholics might better live what it is we celebrate each time we gather to worship God and express more fully, consciously, and actively what it means to be in right relationship with God and the world. With questions for discussion and reflection following each thematic chapter, worship teams, parish councils, and peace and justice committees will be able to evaluate and improve parish liturgical practices and ministerial outreach as rooted in Catholic social teaching. Written by: Kevin Ahern; Bernard Evans; Anne Y. Koester; Thomas Massaro, sj; Dawn M. Nothwehr, osf; Timothy P. O’Malley; Thomas Scirghi, sj; Kate Ward With prayer services by Larry Dowling and supplemental discussion questions by John T. Kyler.

“This inviting and accessible book brings together a wealth of experts concerned with strengthening the links between our worship of God in the liturgy and our service to God in society as articulated by Catholic social teaching. The questions for discussion at the end of each chapter will be particularly helpful for parish leaders and groups seeking to show the transformative power and potential of both the liturgy and Catholic social teaching. Highly recommended.” —James Martin, sj Jesuit priest and author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

“Liturgy and Catholic Social Teaching unites theologically-rich and pastorally-relevant reflection on the integral relationship between worship and everyday life. All who long to make more vital connections between the Eucharistic table and the work for justice and reconciliation around the tables of the world will find comfort, challenge, and hope in these pages.” —Antonio Alonso, Composer, Author, and Theologian

Jesus’ saving Paschal work continues today in the liturgy and sacraments. They have the power to sanctify and beatify those who engage the liturgy with proper minds and hearts. In this comprehensive and accessible book, author Christopher Carstens: • Explains the Church’s teaching on the sacred liturgy. • Shows the meaning of ritual, the characteristics of liturgical rituals, and why men and women today may find ritual challenging.

Fully Conscious, Fully Active presents an ecumenical group of liturgical scholars, practitioners, pastors, and musicians reflecting on the vision of renewed liturgical celebration, especially touching word and song, culture and language, and leadership and ministry. It imagines what contemporary, progressive, and responsive worship can be and how it can contribute to the Christian mission by lifting up the best of the North American liturgical reform and highlighting elements of that reform that lead to the “full, conscious, and active participation” of the faithful called for by the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy.

• Clarifies the place signs and symbols have in liturgical worship. • Provides a mystagogical explanation of the liturgical rites of the Church and various elements of the rite, leading the readers from what they can sense—a calendar day, a musical instrument, and word—to what is otherwise undetectable: Jesus Christ. Carstens does so with the paradigm established by the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which looks to the core meaning of each liturgical element in creation, culture, the Old Testament, Christ, and heaven. • Explains the Church’s use of liturgical language, time, ministers, music, and architecture, and the theology that informs each.

CHRISTIAN ELOQUENCE Contemporary Doctrinal Preaching C. Colt Anderson HILLENBRAND BOOKS Paperback, 6 x 9, 250 pages 978-1-59525-005-6 Order code: HCEDP $25

The Church of medieval Europe struggled to find ways to present the Gospel to people in the midst of cultural change and upheaval. This fascinating study is an excellent resource for all Church homilists, preachers, and even catechists who want models and strategies for linking the deeper truths of the faith to the changing and diverse needs of people in their communities. By studying the methods and sermons of doctrinal preachers from Augustine until the eve of Trent, we can learn how to be more conscious of what preaching can accomplish. “While today, we tend to think of preaching as limited to the homily at Mass, Dr. Anderson shows us the wider view which was held by saints and popes during the middle ages. In light of Pope John Paul II’s call for a New Evangelization, Dr. Anderson offers this wider view of the preaching task as a way to address the contemporary situation, when so many people no longer come to church to listen to homilies.” Rev. Thomas Baima, mba, sta, Vice President and Provost University of St. Mary of the Lake / Mundelein Seminary

In Reading Church Latin, Robert Schoenstene offers an essential resource for acquiring a basic reading knowledge of ecclesiastical Latin. Designed for seminarians, priests, deacons, and students of theology, each lesson reinforces learned grammar, syntax, and vocabulary as it guides readers through translations of common prayers, hymn texts, biblical passages, liturgical texts, patristic texts, and medieval theological texts. Upon completion of the lessons within, students should be able to both grasp the basic meaning of an untranslated Latin text and competently compare a translated text to its original.

THE GENIUS OF THE ROMAN RITE

This profound book contains two commentaries: one on the Beatitudes and the other on the Mass, which make clear the intimate connection between the spirituality of the Beatitudes and the Eucharistic celebration. Dom David draws from a lifetime’s reading of scripture and the Fathers to bring out the meaning of each Beatitude and each part of the Mass, often using his pastoral experience among the poor of Peru for illustration. At the end of each commentary on the Beatitudes he examines the lives of Saint Seraphim (an Orthodox hermit) and Saint John Vianney (the “Curé d’Ars”) to show the Beatitudes at work in the lives of these two great saints. His section-by-section commentary on the Mass is invaluable.

This acclaimed international volume explores a variety of historical, theological, and pastoral perspectives on the Catholic liturgy. Uwe Michael Lang has assembled an impressive collection of the proceedings of the eleventh International Colloquium of the Centre International d’Etudes Liturgiques (the International Center for Liturgical Studies), held in Merton College, Oxford. The papers collected in this volume cover a variety of topics, including studies of Latin liturgical prose and poetry, the music proper to the Roman rite, the development of the Church’s sacred year, the liturgies of the military religious orders, and the treatment of important theological topics.

For American Catholics both before and after the Second Vatican Council, Romano Guardini was best known for his writings on the liturgy and his profound meditation on the life and person of Jesus Christ, The Lord. In Europe, though, Guardini was well-recognized as an influential spiritual, intellectual, and cultural guide, who offered a clear and insightful vision of both the church and the world. In The Essential Guardini, Heinz R. Kuehn assembles an impressive collection of excerpts and documents that seek to reflect the full range of Romano Guardini’s intellectual thought and influence. Introducing the anthology, Kuehn describes his first personal encounter with Guardini in vivid detail, offering remarkable insight into the life of this priest, teacher, author, and scholar.

The sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick plays a significant role in the lives of many throughout the Church, but confusion over the sacrament can result in individuals not receiving this important comfort from the Church. Understanding Sacramental Healing: Anointing and Viaticum explores the rich history of the sacrament and addresses the changes that have occurred since the Second Vatican Council by providing a theological basis for the history and pastoral practice of the sacrament of the sick. Father John Kasza offers a cohesive and concise synthesis of the disciplines of theology, canon law, medicine, anthropology, and liturgy geared toward assisting the practitioner in using the ritual to the fullest extent possible.

Haffner outlines how the sacraments are the chief means in the Church through which God’s people are reconciled to the Father, through His Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The book illustrates classical issues like the conditions for the validity and the efficacy of the sacraments, as well as the minister, recipient and effects of these sacred mysteries; it deals with particular topics like the necessity of Baptism, the sacrificial character of the Eucharist, and the nature of Marriage. As he examines each sacrament in turn, the author also explores how new ecumenical questions affect Christian sacramental understanding.

JOHN KASZA, a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit, received his doctorate in sacramental theology from the Pontifical Atheneum Sant’ Anselmo in Rome. Formerly an assistant professor of sacramental theology, liturgy, and homiletics at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, he most recently served as Vice Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Detroit.

Anthony Ruff, osb has written a brilliant, comprehensive, well-researched book about the treasures of the Church’s musical tradition, and about the transformations brought about by liturgical reform. The liturgy constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium stated many revolutionary principles of liturgical reform. Regarding liturgical music, the Council’s decrees mandated, on the one hand, the preservation of the inherited treasury of sacred music, and on the other hand, advocated adaptation and expansion of this treasury to meet the changed requirements of the reformed liturgy. In clear, precise language, he retrieves the Council’s neglected teachings on the preservation of the inherited music treasury. He clearly shows that this task is not at odds with good pastoral practice, but is rather an integral part of it.

Examining the role of music in the liturgical life of the Church, Deacon Edward Schaefer seeks to promote a more dynamic balance between the expressive and formative qualities of liturgical music. He examines the structure of the Mass both before and after the Second Vatican Council, offering a brief overview of the history and development of liturgical music from the eighth century Carolingian Renaissance to the contemporary implementation of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. Concluding with a thoughtful analysis of the current state of liturgical music, Deacon Schaefer provides a variety of musical examples which are easily accessed online or via the downloadable e-book.

“At long last, an academic study that aims neither at musical iconoclasm nor the reversal of liturgical reform, but at faithfulness to fullness of tradition in pastoral practice.” Kevin Vogt, Executive Director St. Cecilia Schola Cantorum, Omaha, NE USA

This book will help pastors and seminarians understand the introit texts for practical use in today’s liturgies. The introit chant is the last of the Mass propers to be researched in detail. Here Tietze presents their history and development through the ages. He has also composed performable congregational settings of the proper parts of the Mass for the liturgical year. CHRISTOPH TIETZE holds a ba in organ performance from San Jose State University. After a year of private study in Paris under Jean Langlais, he continued with graduate study at Yale University’s Institute of Sacred Music, earning a Master of Music in 1981 and a Master of Musical Arts in 1982.

MICHAEL MCGUCKIAN, sj, is a member of the Irish Province of the Society of Jesus.

For centuries the Eucharistic epiclesis, one of the gems of the early Christian anaphoras, has become a point of controversy rather than a bond of unity between various Christian traditions. The Eucharistic Epiclesis: A Detailed History from the Patristic to the Modern Era, seeks new avenues in exploring this question. The first part of this study, presents the data of the early liturgical texts on the epiclesis as well as a brief history of the prayer’s entanglement with the “moment of consecration question.” Part II focuses on the interpretations of modern liturgists and theologians of the Eucharistic epiclesis. Finally in a synthesis, John McKenna suggests new approaches to this discussion in Eucharistic theology and draws out the implications from this prayer which is so central to the ancient anaphoras.

Schmemann’s theological legacy has influenced all levels of Church life. His books, articles, essays, and sermons are known world-wide and translated into numerous languages and have been referenced by theologians in the East and the West. William C. Mills expertly reminds us that for Alexander Schmemann, the scriptures, doctrine, faith, teachings, practices, and prayers of the Church are expressed and fully realized in the Eucharistic gathering. Alexander Schmemann’s theology was influential from the Second Vatican Council onward, not only on his own Orthodox tradition, but also on Roman Catholic and Protestant liturgical theology.

The Work of Eucharist

In this expanded edition of Real Presence, Dr. Mitchell brings scholarship to bear on the contemporary dialogue about the Eucharist. What he says is vital to Sunday practice and parish life. Teachers, preachers, catechists, and students especially will find help in Mitchell’s insights into the Catechism of the Catholic Church and its teachings on the Eucharist; into the ways that contemporary biblical scholarship opens up our understanding of Jesus and the Eucharist; into those two wonderful words that have again and again challenged the Church to go ever deeper--real presence; and into the theologies of the Eucharist coming from contemporary Europeans such as Jean-Luc Marion, Herbert McCabe, and Catherine Pickstock. NATHAN MITCHELL holds a doctorate in liturgical studies from the University of Notre Dame and is associate director for research at the Notre Dame Center for Pastoral Liturgy.

THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD The Development of the Eucharist according to Acts

The Origins of the Eucharist in the Gospel of Luke

Celebrating the Eucharist is more than recalling Jesus’ words over the bread and the cup at the Last Supper. The Eucharist is a Gospel event—its origins span the entire Gospel, and its meaning for the Church is as many-sided as the Gospel. This book makes the connections between the Eucharist, the stories of the Gospel, and the worshipping assembly. It is about the gathering of the Church to celebrate in memory of Christ and to identify and work with the issues of the Gospel that lead to the kingdom of God. You will return many times to partake of the full fare offered here. The endnotes will help you delve further into Luke’s Gospel and the liturgical dimensions of this study. Don’t miss the continuation of this discussion in “The Breaking of the Bread.”

In Dining in the Kingdom of God, LaVerdiere first introduced Luke’s Gospel as a chronicle of Jesus’ journeys and meals along the way to Jerusalem. In this volume, LaVerdiere continues that line of thought with the Acts of the Apostles, where Luke continues to narrate the story of the meals and hospitality found in the life of the early Church. With LaVerdiere’s eloquent and accessible scholarship, readers will rediscover the origins of both the practice and theology of the Eucharist. EUGENE LAVERDIERE, sss, is a senior editor of Emmanuel magazine and a professor of New Testament at Mundelein Seminary and the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He holds a doctorate in New Testament and Early Christian Literature and is the author of “Luke “(New Testament 5), “When We Pray”, “The New Testament in the Life of the Church”, and “The Eucharist in the New Testament”.

“Dr. Laughlin invites both practitioners and participants to return to the fundamentals of liturgical prayer--What do we do? What does it mean? She focuses our attention on how the liturgy draws all to the source to be nourished and, from its summit, how it sends the many forth in compassionate love for the least. Liturgy as encounter, exchange, and school of faith feeds our hungry hearts with the living Christ as we engage him through son, ritual, and Word.” Roc O’Connor, sj

The Second Vatican Council was arguably one of the most significant events in the Catholic Church during the twentieth century. The Council produced sixteen documents that articulated significant issues facing the Church and repositioned Catholic theology in light of the modern world. Most notably, the first document of the Council, Sacrosanctum Concilium, emphasized the liturgy as the source and summit of Christian life. As such, the liturgy is intimately connected to all facets of Church theology and practice. This unique collection presents a comprehensive evaluation of each document of the Second Vatican Council. Written by contemporary liturgical scholars and theologians, each article provides an overview of key theological themes, historical and pastoral considerations, and how the document relates to our understanding and experience of the liturgy as source and summit.

The leading figures of the Enlightenment and the Reformation (and leading up to Catholic theologians of our own day) have subjected Catholic understanding of ecclesial hierarchy and sacramental mediation of the priesthood to a withering critique. Christ and the Catholic Priesthood: Ecclesial Hierarchy and the Pattern of the Trinity establishes the foundation for a theology of the hierarchical priesthood based on the hierarchical order of the Trinitarian gift—love. Matthew Levering’s well-crafted study presents in great in detail, the nature of Christ’s priesthood, Christian hierarchical priesthood and sacramental mediation.

From the Immaculate Conception to Mary’s continuing Motherhood in the Church, the reader will find here a sure and steady guide, faithful to tradition. The author offers a realistic perspective, not reducing the concrete aspects of Mary’s gifts and privileges to mere symbols on the one hand, and not confusing doctrine and devotionalism on the other.

This unique book by Michael Fuller gives the reader the interpretive skills to re-read the lives of the saint. In modern times, the medieval stories of the saints have been either simply ignored or have been interpreted as colorful examples of cultural history, all the while ignoring their central character and initial purpose: Christ. But the legends and stories of the saints were always told within and around the sacramental and liturgical life of the Church: in catechesis, in homilies, even in the names by which people were baptized. In other words, the saints were tools in preaching and promoting the Gospel of Christ. This clearly written book is a search for a way to read the medieval legends of the saints through the stories of the Virgin Martyrs, so that that their original and powerful stories speak to us once again.

REYNOLD HILLENBRAND

In this rigorous study, Nichols charts the development of the main currents of modern Catholic thought on the interrelation of faith and reason. Nichols examines figures such as Georg Hermes, Etienne Gilson, and Joseph Ratzinger, providing a survey of the leading Catholic scholars whose work informed Pope John Paul II’s Fides et ratio. Illustrating the way the liturgy can serve as a point of intersection between faith and reason, Nichols invites readers to engage with the intellectual giants of modern Catholic thought. “[This book] belongs in the hands . . . of those looking for high-level discussions of how humans come to know, to desire, and to express the truth about God and human beings.” Matthew Levering, James N. and Mary D.

Hillenbrand’s personal papers. Interviews with those who worked with Hillenbrand also give insight into how he promoted a vision of social renewal rooted in and leading back to the celebration of Catholic liturgy.

Amoris laetitia calls on the Church to minister in a different way to families. In this document, Pope Francis offers a new vision of pastoral care that insists that the Church has a mission to accompany, discern, and integrate families into the Body of Christ, no matter the challenges in their lives. In A New Vision of Family Life: A Reflection on Amoris laetitia, Fr. Louis J. Cameli helps readers understand how they can support families as they accompany them through difficulties, aid them in discerning their conscience, and integrate them into the parish community. The author shows that such support is vital if the Church is to form families as disciples.

Second Edition Dennis Chriszt, cpps Paperback, 6 x 9, 144 pages 978-1-61671-634-9 Order code: CEMH $17.95 E-book: $14.95

Author Dennis Chriszt, cpps, provides practical guidance on the practice of mystagogy in contemporary parishes, the wisdom of the early church mystagogues, and today’s church documents to help Christian initiation coordinators and catechists understand the goals of mystagogy and plan for postbaptismal catechesis in their communities. For far too many years we have heard the protest: mystagogy is the least effective period in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. The reason for this might be a complete misunderstanding of the profound meaning behind the Church’s vision for an effective mystagogy, which is rooted in an overall understanding of an effective initiation process within the context, of what Dennis Chriszt refers to as “mystagogical communities” (11).

This revised edition of Rev. Walsh’s classical work incorporates recent developments in the anthropological sciences, offering valuable insight into the effect of ritual on human life. Examining the development of the ecclesial tradition with regards to sacramental practice and teaching, this study addresses contemporary challenges to recovering and embodying the full richness of the Church’s sacramental tradition. “This book is a long awaited text for teaching the Sacraments of Initiation. It is especially valuable as a textbook since it presents not only an overview of the systematic theology of the sacraments, but also an integrated liturgical theology of the Sacramental Rites. It is concise yet it incites the desire for further study.”

If you would like to know about Confirmation—where it comes from, what it means, it’s future—this book is for you. It is a reissue of Fisher’s classic study of the sacramental rite of Confirmation. Fisher examines what the early rite of Confirmation consisted of and what grace it was believed to confer in the period when there is undisputed evidence of the rite’s existence. The text moves from early nonbiblical evidence through a survey of African, European, and near-Eastern regions in the third and fourth centuries, before exploring the emergence of the ritual called “Confirmation” in fourth and fifth century Gaul.
