Interpreting the New Milenio is a collection of essays analyzing the past, present and future directions of Chicano Literature. Beginning with the presence of Spanish conquistadors in the U.S. and ending with contemporary authors such as Sandra Cisneros, Interpreting the New Milenio covers well-known Chicano authors as well as lesser known 19th-century Hispanic writers. The essays in the collection examine Chicano literature as well as its precedents as a whole, so as to find the keys for the interpretation of the challenges posed by the new millennium.

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.
