Workbook for Lectors, Gospel Readers, and Proclaimers of the Word® can provide the ongoing instruction and advice that readers need. Not only does it assist them in preparing their assigned reading on a specific occasion, but when ministers of the Word read this resource every week as a way of reflecting on and learning about the Scriptures, it strengthens their proclamation skills and deepens their spiritual lives so that they can touch the hearts of your assembly with their reading. Workbook's introduction offers an orientation to the ministry, catechesis about the place of the readings in the Mass, and for those parishes that want to adopt the practice on special occasions, links to audio files demonstrating chanted introductions and closings for the readings. If training readers is your responsibility, this is the tool you want to put in the hands of every minister of the Word to help them proclaim effectively.

"If you want to explore the many dimensions of a relationship with God, there is no better way than to delve into the Book of Psalms. In The Spirituality of the Psalms, Margie Ralph invites the reader into Israel s prayer book to explore the countless images, sensations, and emotions expressed in these timeless prayers. With insight and pastoral wisdom, the author demonstrates how to bring the psalms from Jersusalem s temple, through the heart of Jesus, and into the liturgical and personal prayer of people today.
