TiTles in The BeComing CaTholiC series:

In recent years there has been a renewed emphasis on understanding sacramental celebrations as parish events. Parents are engaged more significantly in the process of preparing their children to celebrate the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist. This collaboration has come about as a result of a rediscovery of how the sacraments were celebrated in the early Church.

As a result, the Church once again speaks of the ‘process of initiation’ and sees Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist as steps along the path to becoming fully initiated members of a parish community and the Catholic Church. In some dioceses this has meant that Confirmation is now celebrated at the time of First Eucharist rather than at the end of primary school.

Reconciliation aims to support you as you help your child prepare to receive

Confirmation is one of the sacraments that has received particular renewal

the sacrament of Reconciliation. Its main teaching is that the sacrament re-affirms the constant truth of God’s love and forgiveness for the times we fail and need forgiveness.

following the Second Vatican Council. It is now seen, along with Baptism and Eucharist, as part of the process of initiation into the Catholic Church. Reception of the sacrament varies from diocese to diocese: some offer the sacrament together with First Eucharist, others separately at the end of primary school.

Kathy horan provides a brief introduction to the Church’s teachings on reconciliation and explains how the celebration of the sacrament has changed since the Second Vatican Council.

She uses brief reflections from Scripture to demonstrate that Jesus always proclaimed God’s readiness to forgive our wrongdoings no matter the circumstances.

Kathy horan explains the changes that have taken place and points out that, whatever the diocesan practice, Confirmation is seen by all as the second formal step of initiation.

She provides ten themes around relevant scripture passages to help parents explain the sacrament to their children: 1. Jesus is baptised 2. Baptism: the journey begins 3. the Church: a community of disciples 4. Pentecost 5. the Spirit of Jesus is alive in us 6. Confirmation: confirming Baptism 7. Celebrating Confirmation 8. Being a follower of Jesus 9. Living as a Spirit-filled follower of Jesus 10. Called to mission

“Listen with the ear of the heart.”

Here we are at the heart of prayer as it is understood within the Catholic Tradition. It is the way we will speak of prayer throughout this book – being present to the Presence.

Our focus will therefore be primarily on attitudes and dispositions rather than specific acts and rituals.

It is the prayerful person we are most interested in, rather than the person who says prayers, the prayerful life rather than the life that contains times of prayer.”

When the bishops of the Catholic world gathered in Rome in 1962 for the Second Vatican Council, they initiated a process of change which would restyle the way Catholics worshipped and celebrated liturgy.

A FRIENDLY GUIDE TO In the style which is typical of the other books in the Friendly Guide series, Vodola explains, in easy terms, the history of change that was already happening in the Church prior to Pope John XXIII initiating the Council and how he became focussed on the process of modernisation early in the 20th Century.

Vodola offers an easyto-understand explanation of the Second Vatican Council, the changes and what it means for us today in the fifty years since the Council was convened.

or Catholics the celebration of the Mass is central to the expression of their faith. It is celebrated thousands of times a day in many places, in many languages, by many, many people and has been celebrated every day for centuries. It has many names and a variety of cultural guises. It means different things to different people.

“For some it is a meal. For some it is a sacrifice.

For some it is a ritual act, sacred and set apart.

Others like to emphasise the community aspect – the community gathering together, very conscious of one another. For some it is a deeply personal prayer. For others it is a sacramental celebration embracing the entire world. For some its very essence is expressed in the coming together (the communion) of those present. For others, it is the moment to celebrate the sacredness of life in joy and gratitude. For some worshippers it is a celebration of a reconciliation which forgives and unites. For others, unity and reconciliation are pre-requisites for its proper celebration. Some celebrate it once a year. Others celebrate it four times a year. Some celebrate it every Sunday and for others it is a daily event of thanksgiving and grace.” (From the Introduction) In A Friendly Guide to the Mass Tony Doherty opens up the treasures of the Mass and through story, humour, history and colourful imagery he offers us an insight into the heart of this ritual which is at

ne of Australia's well-respected scripture theologians, Mary L. Coloe, brings the world of the gospels to life in this addition to the Friendly Guide series of books.

In this guide, Coloe explains how John has selected and shaped this material differently: where the Synoptic Gospels work from a theological framework of sin and atonement, John speaks of life and eternity life. This is an alternative approach to the meaning of Jesus’ life, death and rising.

Coloe explores John’s positive message that affirms life, and speaks to the heart of human desires today.

What follows is a further attempt to reach out to all Christians who live under the Word of God, to unlock a powerful story about Jesus, written in rough Greek almost two thousand years ago.

A FRIENDLY GUIDE TO MARK’S GOSPEL

F

ollowing the success of A friendly guide to the New Testament, renowned scripture scholar Francis J Moloney now turns his attention to the Gospel of Mark. The earliest and shortest of the four Gospels, Mark is a challenging portrait of Jesus as a healer and miracle worker, and as the Christ, Son of Man and Son of God. Mark’s Gospel is explored in some detail, dealing with the structure of the whole narrative and examining specific passages more closely. In keeping with the philosophy of the Friendly Guides, the text, although scholarly, maintains its readability and appeal, and is enhanced by superb design, images and elegant calligraphy.

In recent years there has been a renewed emphasis on understanding sacramental celebrations as parish events. Parents are engaged more significantly in the process of preparing their children to celebrate the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist. This collaboration has come about as a result of a rediscovery of how the sacraments were celebrated in the early Church.

As a result, the Church once again speaks of the ‘process of initiation’ and sees Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist as steps along the path to becoming fully initiated members of a parish community and the Catholic Church. In some dioceses this has meant that Confirmation is now celebrated at the time of First Eucharist rather than at the end of primary school.
