The rule of Benedict: Themes, texts, thoughts

MacGinty, Gerard

Dominican

<p>This book contains much more than did the first edition published in 1987.  The number of liturgies is increased to thirty-eight, and the book now offers also Rites of Committal (for use at the gravesite or in a crematorium).  Of the liturgies, some are written for specific occasions, others, being of a general nature, could fit a variety of circumstances.  Six of them are Remembrance Liturgies for such occasions as the month's mind and anniversaries.  Besides the liturgies, there are twenty-nine reflections, ten Prayer Services and four Rites of Committal.The first edition of this book was hailed as a " real God-send, a welcome abundance....Every circumstance, age and condition is considered.". (P.J. Brophy, parish priest)Flor McCarthy is a Salesian priest who has worked as a catechist for many years in Dublin and has extensive experience in the USA and Ireland.  He is well known for his works on Sunday and Holy Day liturgies.</p>

Since it first appeared, Flor McCarthy has listened closely to the comments and advice of priests who used this book. As a result, this new revision of New Sunday & Holy Day Liturgies contains a lot of new material, including new homilies. There are two additional major improvements. The first of these is a better Scripture Note focussed on ensuring that they convey the essence of the readings. Flor McCarthy states: 'Unless we understand the message of the Scriptures, we really have no right to be preaching.' The second improvement concerns parts of the Mass such as the Introduction, the Confiteor, the Prayer of the Faithful, which are now more closely related to the particular feast (or Sunday) that is being celebrated. The aim is to capture the 'flavour' of that feast, and to convey something of its meaning and spirit. They contain a good mix of comfort, inspiration, and challenge.
