Your most powerful homily could be at a funeral. These 18 model homilies will help preachers prepare funeral homilies more easily and deliver them more effectively. The author, known for giving especially inspiring funeral homilies, covers the gamut of homilies for "ordinary" funerals to those preached in more difficult circumstances for example, at the funeral of a person who has committed suicide or a young victim of leukemia. All sample homilies are derived from real circumstances that most preachers face at some point. Part 2 is an especially useful section of inspirational quotations and poems suitable for use in funeral homilies.

Many Catholics -- long-time active parishioners as well as newcomers -- do not have an up-to-date understanding of the paschal season. This little book can make a big difference. What Every Catholic Needs to Know about Lent, Triduum, and Easter walks the average Catholic through the history of the season, its various rituals, their role in the liturgy, and prayers and activities they can do with their own families at home. Great for liturgy committees, RCIA groups, adult study groups -- or even the entire congregation. Bulk discounts available.

Liturgical catechesis may be the preferred mode of Catholic catechesis, but it's a mystery to many parish ministers. And they need to be on board to make it work. With Introducing Liturgical Catechesis, a parish leader can immerse the entire pastoral team over several sessions in both the concepts and the methods of liturgical catechesis. These photocopiable training sessions can go a long way to making liturgical catechesis a reality in any parish.
