With this focus as the integrating principle, Rev. Lawrence Mick, national presenter and leader of various commissions on the teaching and implementation of best liturgical practices, invites us to "own" our participation in Mass. This substantive yet accessible work is divided into sections according to the movements of the Eucharistic liturgy: Gathering as God's People, Encountering God's Word, Communing with Christ, and Enacting God's Kingdom as we are sent forth to bring Christ more fully to our world. Citing key documents, assessing cultural themes, and drawing from the wealth of his pastoral and liturgical experience, Rev. Mick is an eminently trustworthy guide for Catholics today. Each chapter features questions for individual reflection or group discussion, along with a brief resource list for further reading. |

| Publisher Description: The sacraments are a precious, seven-faceted jewel embedded in the heart of the Catholic faith. Yet, while believers readily acknowledge the centrality of these rites to the faith, they may be a bit fuzzy when it comes to explaining them. That's where this book comes to the rescue! Liturgy 101: Sacraments and Sacramentals provides a concise and easy-to-follow overview of the liturgy that will immerse you into the Church's teaching and practice of the seven sacraments. The author, respected Catholic scholar and educator Daniel G. Van Slyke, grounds the book in Sacred Scripture, the teachings of the Church, and the rites with which the Church celebrates the sacraments. Following a helpful introductory chapter that explains the vocabulary used to discuss worship, Liturgy 101 explores the seven sacraments one by one. Each chapter explains, in an accessible manner, the sacrament's origins, how and by whom it is celebrated, and what it accomplishes. Van Slyke also addresses frequently asked pastoral, practical, and canonical questions concerning the celebration of the sacraments. Liturgy 101 will empower you to more fruitfully participate in sacred liturgy by helping you to understand, appreciate, love, and celebrate the sacraments that Christ has entrusted to the Church.
