Liturgy is the first school of the Church. We learn by praying; we learn by doing. In our faithfully praying the Church’s Liturgy Sunday after Sunday, we strengthen our belief. In our faithful praying week by week, we strengthen the gift of faith we have from God and deepen the relationship we have with God in Christ. This short list offers suggestions for ongoing Faith Formation that is so essential to the Christian life. Within, individuals and small and large groups may find a follow-up for “Why Catholic?” or a next step for Whole Community Catechesis / Generations of Faith, Small Christian Communities, the New Evangelization of the Catholic Church, and other faith sharing groups as we embark on the Year of Faith.

X X X X

Link: http://www.wlp.jspaluch.com/3334.htm Inspired by the principle that one learns how to be a Christian by doing what Christians do, Apprenticed to Christ provides catechists with ideas and resources for the “apprenticeship” of catechumens, candidates, and others participating in parish religious formation. Brief introduction makes the case for apprenticeship and catechesis for conversion. Page 8 provides “A Catechetical Method: Mystagogical Catechesis in the Session for Christian Formation” that is worth the price of the book.

This hands-on method, the Church's preferred approach for the catechumenate, is presented in a systematic, easy-to-use format based on the Liturgy of the Word for Sunday Mass, with activities suggested for each Sunday of the three-year cycle of Lectionary for Mass readings.

Other: connections to the Sunday readings; recommended links with the teaching of the Catholic Church; apprenticeship activity; short list of catechetical resources.

Lawrence Mick. Forming the Assembly to Celebrate Mass. Chicago: Liturgy Training Publications, 2007. ISBN: 978-1-56854-430-4. LTP code: FAMAS List: $7.00 Paper, 6 x 9, 80 pp

Link: http://www.ltp.org/p-773-forming-the-assembly-to-celebrate-the-mass.aspx On liturgical formation and liturgical catechesis on Mass and the Eucharist. See and use the companion, Forming the Assembly to Celebrate Sacraments, by the same author. Great questions.

The Second Vatican Council envisioned a Church whose people could understand and participate fully in the liturgy. The author gives us a tool for catechizing our communities.

This concise, lively book gives information: answers questions that parish councils, liturgy boards, liturgical ministers, adult formation groups and individuals in the assembly have about what the official rites call for and how we can celebrate them well. It provides an opportunity for group reflection and discussion – primary activities in adult formation. It will enable parishioners to integrate new learning with faith insights and thus become more aware and discerning participants in the Mass.

On the liturgical formation and liturgical catechesis for these Sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Penance, Anointing, Holy Orders, and Marriage. See and use the companion, Forming the Assembly to Celebrate the Mass for Eucharist. Great questions.

The Second Vatican Council envisioned a liturgical assembly that could understand and participate fully in the liturgy. Lawrence Mick offers insights and suggestions for helping our communities understand the work they are called to do when celebrating the sacraments.

Once leaders are prepared, the book can then be used for catechizing the whole assembly, parish councils, liturgy boards, liturgical ministers, adult formation groups, and individuals.

Part Two – The Sacraments: Expressing Faith Part Three – The Moral Life: Living Faith Part Four – Prayer: Praying Faith

Excellent resource for individual and group use. Every chapter helps the reader understand faith in terms that are easy to relate to everyday life. Even without using the Leader’s Guide, small groups can easily engage in conversation. Construction analogies are used for the building of faith. Because of the 2008 publication date, page 27 uses the old translation of the Nicene Creed and page 101 uses the old translation of the Confiteor. Easily remedied with inserts.
