Resurrection in Scripture, Liturgy, and Theology
Abbot Jeremy Driscoll, OSB
In Awesome Glory, Abbot Jeremy Driscoll offers readers a deep dive into the mystery of the resurrection of Jesus. Starting from the conviction that the liturgy is meant to be for Christians an immediate and effective contact with the resurrection, this profound book draws out the riches of each celebration from the Paschal Triduum through Pentecost. Abbot Jeremy focuses particularly on the Scripture texts of Mass, but also on important rituals like the washing of feet, the Lucernarium, and the baptism of catechumens.

By Maria C. Morrow
Mom and theologian Maria Christina Morrow can relate to your sigh. Lent is a time of sacrifice, but Lent with little ones (or medium ones, or older ones) can seem like sacrifice with an extra helping of penance. Why? Because parenting comes with its own set of sacrifices, made daily. But being a busy parent doesn’t mean you (and the whole family) can’t do Lent well. A Busy Parent’s Guide to a Meaningful Lent is the book you’ve been looking for. It’s a quick, easy, all-in-one Lenten resource that starts your day off with Scripture, reflection, prayer — and achievable ideas to help busy parents make the most of Lent. With A Busy Parent’s Guide to a Meaningful Lent you can live Lent well, even in the middle of your beautiful, busy, and sometimes messy family life.

Cardinal Carlo Martini on Lent and Easter
Cardinal Carlo Martini
Cardinal Martini's book of reflections on the celebrations of Lent and Easter are a wonderful tool for deeper, less distracted spiritual meditation with emphasis on the sacraments, the Holy Spirit, and what it means to be a Christian."The reflections of Cardinal Martini set forth in this volume revolve mainly around three main themes: the Eucharist, Easter Sunday, and Pentecost. In instituting the Eucharist during the Last Supper, we contemplate the foreshadowing of what happens in the passion and resurrection of Christ (Jesus freely giving the gift of life for every single sinner) and at the same time, the merciful love of Jesus for his church, and the assurance of his very presence now and forever through the sacrament."Cardinal Martini's meditations in the end invite the reader to a more lively Christian experience around the Eucharist, starting with a renewed commitment to the inner life, culminating in a more generous exercise of charity."-from the Introduction

The Glenstal Companion to the Readings of the Easter Vigil explores the dynamic of the Vigil readings by examining a single reading, in its liturgical context, to provide nourishing commentary to deepen your encounter with God's Word. Parishioners will come to appreciate how the extended reading of passages from the Old Testament, in the light of the Paschal Candle, creates a sense of expectancy and focuses on the central reality of the Christian faith—what the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ mean for the salvation of all people. Includes commentary for each of the readings of the Easter Vigil: the seven Old Testament readings, the Epistle, and the Gospels for Years A, B, and C.

By Michelle Schroeder
It’s a sacrament with many names, but most of us seem to have a similar reaction to it: Do I have to go? It’s been too long. Doesn’t God already know I’m sorry? I don’t remember how to do it. I’m embarrassed. I’m scared. Michelle Schroeder has been there. She admits to skipping reconciliation for years … until she realized that, to experience God’s mercy most fully, she needed to ask for it. In this easy-to-read booklet, you’ll gain the confidence you need to return to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, where you will experience God’s mercy and unconditional forgiveness.

By Father Herbert Niba
The Way of the Cross with Saint John Paul II provides a simple but profound opportunity to practice this devotion publicly or privately, during — and beyond — the Lenten season. Each of the fourteen stations is interpreted in light of one aspect or event in the life of John Paul II, from tragic losses to physical and emotional demands, his long illness, and the assassination attempt. His lived experience of the Cross is further confirmed by the words of fourteen witnesses who knew him or who were influenced by him. Walk the Way of the Cross with Saint John Paul and, like him, come to know the love of Christ that allows us “to take up that cross once more and, strengthened by this love, to continue our journey."
|
|

This helpful manual will be invaluable for anyone involved in the outgoing spiritual formation of the next generation of Christians.

Readings from Luke’s Passion gospel are interspersed with choral settings of hymns and spirituals, and the extinguishing of candles. The choral arrangements are not difficult and provide compelling commentaries on Jesus’ suffering and death and on the human condition. This edition includes the complete order of service and the octavos that make up the musical part of the liturgy. Choral settings are for SATB choir, soloists, and piano. Also available is Giomo’s Vespers: A Service for Evening Prayer, which is useful for parishes that hold midweek Lenten worship services.
