The Challenges for Liturgists of the Future: Pastoral Liturgy

May 29, 2011 Other Voices Conferences / Workshops / Meetings Pastoral Theology

We need scholars who can study the past, but who also listen to the human heart today, scholars who have personally experienced the love of God and who share it with others, scholars whose commitment to common prayer is steady, and scholars who know what it is to be human today, an individual loved by God, yet part of a community that tolerates differences, progresses in technology, and advances on the path toward redemption. It will take prophetic, courageous, committed, and faithfilled scholars to make pastoral liturgy flourish.

Paul Turner and Dewfall

February 9, 2011 Diana Macalintal Conferences / Workshops / Meetings Translation / New Missal

“So, let me just warn you about the power of prayer: you can study the words of a prayer, critique the words, teach the words and say the words, but if you’re not looking you may miss out on something more important than all these things: those words are studying you, they are learning you, teaching you and forming you. They will put you to work; they will send you out on mission.”

Houses of Catechumens?

August 4, 2010 Andrew Casad Initiation / RCIA

Part of me senses that if we are serious about apprenticing people in the Christian way of life such that it permeates every aspect of their lives this formation must be done in an all encompassing environment of faith from dawn to dusk of every day (such as a family or a seminary) and not just on Sundays.
