Living Liturgy Spirituality, Celebration, and Catechesis for Sundays and Solemnities: Year B (2012) - Joyce Ann Zimmerman, CPPS, Kathleen Harmon, SNDdeN & Christopher W. Conlon, SM
Living Liturgy integrates spirituality and celebration, catechesis and pastoral practice, the ministry of the assembly and other ministries so that celebrating and living go hand-in-hand. Written by a pastorally experienced team with expertise in Scripture, spiritual direction, liturgy, and liturgical music, Living Liturgy teaches that we learn from each other of the fullness of God’s mystery, and by learning and worshiping together we enrich each other. Living Liturgy helps people live a liturgical spirituality. This is a way of living rooted in liturgy, which opens their vision to their baptismal identity as the Body of Christ and shapes their living according to the dying and rising rhythm of the paschal mystery. The paschal mystery is the entire saving mystery of Jesus Christ—his life, mission, passion, death, resurrection, ascension, sending of the Spirit, and promised second coming—and our participation in this mystery. Liturgy enacts in the here and now Christ’s mystery and sends each one of us forth to live this mystery.
Anyone involved with liturgical planning and preparation will benefit from using this resource, including pastoral ministers, liturgy directors, musicians, and liturgy committee members. Living Liturgy also assists those who serve the community in the visible liturgical ministries—presiders, deacons, music ministers, hospitality ministers, altar ministers, lectors, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion—because it clearly shows that each ministry deserves not only practical preparation but, even more important, spiritual preparation. Further, catechumens, candidates, and sponsors use Living Liturgy™ to support and deepen their liturgical journey within the RCIA. Members of faith-sharing groups use this resource as the focus of weekly prayer and reflection together. Parents and teachers will find that Living Liturgy™ can be simplified and shared with younger members of the liturgical community.

Reviews
"The comprehensive content and inviting layout of Living Liturgy make it a premier liturgical resource."
- WritingWorks
"Using Living Liturgy for eucharistic celebrations helps me a lot. New to the parish this book is my constant reference for my homily."
- Fr. Avelino Balatucan, Blessed Sacrament Church, Harbour Island, Bahamas
"As more and more people become involved in the preparation of Mass, and as Collaborative Ministry becomes more of a reality, this type of a book becomes invaluable. But it's also an excellent resource for every Mass goer. Anyone interested in preparing for their Sunday Mass and living out the liturgy in their own life would find it indispensable. Many more of us, priests, pastoral ministers and people who celebrate the Eucharist each Sunday are aware that our most important activity each week is the time we spend preparing the weekly liturgy. We can do that work well by preparing the texts for each Sunday Eucharist. We can do that even better by having a copy of Living Liturgy to study and ponder and pray with, either alone or in a group, each week. . . . This volume will be the user's best investment of the year."
- Prairie Messenger
"I have been the liturgy coordinator of a large parish in Rochester, New York for almost three years and when I arrived here I was introduced to Living Liturgy. In the past three years copies have been given to all members of our Liturgy Committee and our Liturgical Reflection Committee. We use it as a resource for the Sunday liturgy planning. I personally use the General Intercessions for weekend liturgies. They are well written and creative enough to use as is. I have recommended this book to other people in other parishes and find the seasonal information very valuable and enriching. Overall I recommend the use of this fine resource for religious educators as well and for small Christian communities. It covers all groups as I see it."
- Sister Barbara Baker, M.H.S.H., Pastoral Associate, St. Charles Borromeo Church, Rochester, New York
"This is a resource that is useful for all liturgical ministers. It aids those who use it to live the Paschal Mystery on a daily basis. I have used it for several years for personal prayer and reflection in preparing my homily and to preside at Sunday Eucharist. By following the day-by-day suggestions on the bookmark, it has aided in my personal preparation and prayer for the coming Sunday."
- Fr. Richard Siefer, Pastor, St. Catherine and St. Joseph, DuBois, Pennsylvania
