Synopsis

This is a collection of liturgy services designed to elicit active participation from all parishioners. Vatican II called for a liturgical renewal that puts participation as "the aim to be considered before all else." These 30 celebrations are intended to celebrate the community's faith through an emphasis on basic Christian symbols. Not intended to compete with the centrality of the Eucharist itself, these rituals provide useful options for supplementing the liturgical life of a community when circumstances call for an alternative to Eucharistic liturgy. These celebrations should help readers rediscover the long-standing tradition of a liturgical life with a variety of rituals and devotions for the various seasons, feasts and events which mark a journey of faith. This resource is suitable for any community that seeks out creative ways to celebrate God's presence.
