Published specifically to respond to the pastoral needs of parishes in North America, this unique volume contains the complete texts of both Eucharistic documents in English and Spanish. Ecclesia de Eucharistia is a deep and personal reflection on the Eucharist, important for its theological, pastoral, and disciplinary content. The Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum was prepared by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in collaboration with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The issues covered include who regulates the liturgy, how the participation of the lay faithful can be encouraged, the way Mass is properly celebrated, and the distribution of Holy Communion. This is an ideal resource for Catholic parishes and academic libraries, clergy, liturgists, scholars, or anyone with a love for the liturgy. Book jacket.

"John 1-10: I Am the Bread of Life "is an excellent way to introduce young adults to the book of John and the life-changing message of Jesus in this Gospel. As John sees it, we human beings need God. We need God's light in our lives, his power to energize us. But for the most part we are not very aware of this need because we spend our lives running around looking for one thing after another, preoccupied with meeting our material and social needs. We tend to see God as the provider of earthly blessings rather than the source of something much more important. And of course, we also tend to ignore God and instead work to satisfy our own desires. John tells us how God tries to break through the barrier of our earthly thinking by entering into our world personally. Designed as a guided discovery, Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens introduces high school students to different books of the Bible by integrating the biblical text with insightful questions to help youth discern what Scripture means for their lives today. The series provides students with a clear explanation of Biblical text, opportunities for prayer, and a means to enter into conversation with God.
