An annual resource for parish ministers, liturgists, pastors, and planning committees, "Living Liturgy" offers a practical means for reflection on and celebration of the Sunday Mass. "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 paschal mystery. The paschal mystery is the entire salvific 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 pastors, 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, eucharistic ministers - because it clearly shows that each ministry deserves not only practical preparation but even more importantly spiritual preparation, suggestions that are a key component of "Living Liturgy". 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 improve their ministry by simplifying "Living Liturgy" when sharing it with younger members of the liturgical community.

Living Liturgy: Spirituality, Celebration, and Catechesis for Sundays and Solemnities - Year C (2013)

It's not often that we think about silence or its importance in living healthy, balanced, and productive lives. We especially need silence if we are to deepen our spiritual lives. This book understands the sacredness of practicing silence and explores how we can learn to incorporate it into both our prayer and everyday lives. 
 Much more than a commentary on silence, this book invites readers throughout the text to stop, ponder and be silent. It includes both reflection content and practice exercises for exploring how silence might become an everyday habit.

She provides a structure that any reader can easily adapt for use with favorite texts from the Mass. This resource includes the following for each common prayer chosen: The official text from The Roman Missal Sr. Joyce s reflection to help guide your personal reflection Two or three statements/questions to help facilitate your meditation and journaling A closing prayer Review In How Deep the Mystery: Meditating on the Words of the Mass, Precious Blood Sister, Joyce Ann Zimmerman gives us a wonderful tool to help us pray more profoundly at the Eucharist, and thus believe more deeply. It is so easy for us to become distracted and inattentive. This gem of a book invites us to go deeper and to see the beautiful prayer of the Church in an entirely new light. She invites us into a richer appreciation of the Mass itself with its various Collects, as well as the Prefaces and Eucharistic Prayers. By engaging these all too familiar elements, we engage the deep mystery of the Christian life, in our source and summit. --The Most Reverend John C.

After my liturgical minister presentation at St. Raphael's, it dawned on me that there are not many resources that address the spirituality of the liturgical minsiter.The idea is that this short resource would provide a foundation-and deepening-of a liturgical spiritulity, rooted in theology of the paschal mystery, specifically for liturgical ministers.
