2010 OSV's Catholic
Almanac
by Matthew Bunson
Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Almanac remains the
only annual, comprehensive guide to the Catholic Church. It is the
essential one-volume reference work for researchers, homilists, writers,
media professionals, students, and teachers.Published for more than one
hundred years, this is a proven resource that offers solid
Catholic teaching and information. Its in-depth index makes finding
specific, exact information easy.
Cardinal John P. Foley, President emeritus of the Pontifical
Council for Social Communications at the Vatican, has called the Catholic
Almanac "an annual masterpiece!" "Our Sunday Visitor claims this
work is the 'one and only Catholic resource,' and 'simply the best annual
guide to the Catholic Church anywhere.' These are bold statements, but
accurate.... This excellent work is especially useful for those interested
in either the Roman Catholic Church or the Holy See.... It is informative,
easy to use, and well written." --

Children’s Daily Prayer 2010 - 2011
Mary
Caswell Walsh
Children's Daily Prayer is the
perfect resource for catechists and Catholic school teachers looking for
an easy and meaningful order of prayer to use with students. Teachers
have the option of two different prayers. The first is a weekly prayer
written specifically about the Gospel Reading from the Sunday Mass. The
second is prayer for each day of the school week based on a selected
Lectionary Reading appropriate to the liturgical season and the needs of
children. In addition to choosing the prayer you will use, teachers now
have the option of using a long or short form of the psalms. The
standard format of prayer services combined with flexible components
make this the perfect resource for both teachers who have daily classes
and teachers who only have classes once a week.

Living Liturgy: Year B
Spirituality, Celebration, and Catechesis for Sundays and Solemnities
Joyce Ann Zimmerman, C.PP.S., Thomas A. Greisen, Kathleen Harmon, S.N.D. de N.,
and Thomas L. Leclerc
An annual resource for parish ministers,
liturgists, and planning committees, Living Liturgy offers a practical means for
reflecting on, celebrating, and living the paschal mystery. Completely revised, Living
Liturgy, Year B (2003) now includes the new weekday Lectionary readings, an updated
page format, and new clip art throughout.
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 emulates the reality of
our Christian communities: that we learn from each other of the fullness of God’s
mystery and by learning together we enrich each other.
Living Liturgy is beneficial for a wide spectrum of
members of a liturgical community, each having a personal copy so they might refer to it
when preparing for the Sunday liturgy. Parents and teachers may simplify its content and
share it with younger members of the community. Members of faith-sharing groups, liturgy
planning committees, and RCIA catechumens, candidates, and sponsors will find it useful as
the focus of weekly prayer and reflection.
The mystery of God’s salvific action is vast, and we are
privileged to share in the unfolding of these great events. Living Liturgy shows that who
we are and how we live has a profound affect on those around us. We can spend time doing
no more important a thing than intensifying our spirituality based on praying and
reflecting on God’s Word, celebrating the paschal mystery, and catechizing ourselves
and others in God’s ways. When we do so, we are, living liturgy.
