I happily commend it to the clergy, seminarians and laity as a reliable tool for the preparation and celebration of the liturgical rites authoritatively granted by the Holy Father in Summorum Pontificum.'I congratulate the distinguished liturgical scholar, Dr. Alcuin Reid, for his care and precision in ensuring that this revised edition conforms to the latest authoritative decisions with regard to these liturgical rites. As Pope Benedict XVI wrote in his letter which accompanied Summorum Pontificum: "In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture." The Gregorian Rite is today a living liturgical rite which will continue its progress without losing any of its riches handed on in tradition. For as the Holy Father continued, "What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behoves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church's faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place." May this book assist the Church of today and of tomorrow in realising Pope Benedict's vision.'Darío Cardinal Castrillón HoyosPresident, Pontifical Commission Ecclesia DeiThis fifteenth edition, revised in the light of Pope Benedict XVI's reforms and expanded and corrected throughout, includes a new chapter on the music of solemn and sung Mass as well as clarifications of questions that have arisen in the light of recent experience. It gives descriptions of the rites of pontifical, solemn and low Mass, Vespers, the liturgical year including Holy Week, the sacraments, Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, funerals, episcopal visitation and more. ![]() Free Download The Big No (21st Century Studies) edited by Kennan Ferguson English | January 4, 2022 | ISBN: 1517909287, 1517909295 | True EPUB | 168 pages | 0.3 MB What it means to celebrate the potential and the power of no ![]() Free Download The Beauty of the Eucharist: Voices from the Church Fathers By Dennis J. Billy 2009 | 252 Pages | ISBN: 1565483286 | EPUB | 1 MB A title for the Year of the Priest This book examines what some of the most prominent voices of Christianitys distant past have taught about the Eucharist. The authors goal is to look at how the proponents of an emerging Christian orthodoxy understood, celebrated and presented the Eucharist in the centuries immediately following the end of the apostolic era. Father Billy has made a monumental contribution to the popularization of the Church Fathers at a time in the life of the religious community when being reminded of tradition is vital for the perpetuity of the faith. By a careful, sensitive and thoroughly readable exposure to the original texts of the Fathers, this book provides the faith community and the individual with a resource of equalized utility in both a delineation and explication of the Churchs teaching about and the meaning of the Eucharist. If ever a time was right for such a reintroduction of the Fathers teachings, now is unquestionably the time. John H. Morgan, Ph.D. President, Graduate Theological Foundation Dennis Billy has done a masterful job of exposing us to almost 600 years of Christian belief on the Eucharist as reflected in the Fathers of the Church. He reminds us that this living faith of the dead is part of our heritage, something that we ignore only at our peril and loss. His writing is clear, practical and his treatment of each Father consistent. He helps us to see how each writer adds to the mosaic and richness of our Eucharistic faith. Especially helpful are the reflection questions that end each chapter, as these force readers to plumb the depth of their own understanding and faith and to examine how the Eucharist affects the whole of their Christian lives. I recommend it highly.

Porter 2012 | 424 Pages | ISBN: 1610972929 | EPUB | 1 MB Synopsis: The concept and institution of priesthood in the Catholic Church has been the subject of serious challenge not only since the time of the Protestant Reformation but also, more recently, from within the Catholic Church, as the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and theologians afterward have reconsidered the place and function of priests in relation to both bishops and laity. In dialogue with those challenges, and by means of research into Scripture and the theological tradition--patristic, medieval, and modern--the author of this book considers classic images of priests and priestly ministry as a way of recovering an understanding of the priesthood that is at once both biblically and theological sound. Endorsements: "The renewal of church life at the Second Vatican Council was facilitated by ressourcement, the return to the ancient sources of the Christian faith. Porter puts ressourcement to good use in the study of priesthood in the Old Testament, enriching our understanding of the priesthood in the church today." --Paul Langsfeld, pastor of St. Stephen Martyr Parish, Washington, D.C. "Porter provides here a sweeping survey of the theology of priesthood . . . drawing from both recent magisterial documents as well as the best contemporary theology, this book not only delineates and dissects the numerous 'assaults on priesthood' of our day, it provides powerful and persuasive solutions as well." --David Vincent Meconi, Saint Louis University "The Assault on Priesthood is erudite, very readable, with just a touch of wry humor. He digs deep into the scriptures and into the history of the church to explicate a theology of the priesthood that is thoroughly Catholic. He has spent the last twenty-five years educating candidates for the priesthood. It's easy to see where his passion comes from." --James A. Hamel, Air Force Chaplain Corps College "A work of great erudition" --Charles Gusmer, former president of the North American Liturgical Academy Author Biography: Lawrence B.
