by Suzanne Lewis
Children’s
Daily Prayer is a lovely, step-by-step method for praying every day
of the school year. At its heart is a simple order of prayer easily led
by a student. This is the Church’s ancient way to begin the day. This
volume of LTP’s popular annual resource for praying in the classroom has
everything you need to pray on a given day found on one page!
This
great catechetical tool features:
- a clear,
easy-to-follow format
- prayer for every day
of the school year with the reading for the day
- an opening that
explains the readings, describes its background, defines difficult
vocabulary, and highlights feasts of the day
- a psalm with
responses that may be photocopied
- prayer services for
feasts and special occasions
- additional psalms
and canticles
- and a new feature
called "Also on this Day" indicates secular holidays and major
observances of other religions
These
features help you deepen and enrich classroom prayer. There is also a
teacher’s introduction that offers insights into how children pray and
how to pray with them. Seasonal introductions explain the liturgical
seasons and suggest how to create conducive environments for the
season’s prayer.

Year of Grace Liturgical
Calendar 2009 Poster Paper
Artist: Tracy Walker
This vibrantly illustrated circle-of-the-year
Catholic liturgical calendar depicts in its corners
prophetic vision of the kingdom of God and in the center,
the restoration of the kingdom promised us by Christ. The
calendar begins the First Sunday of Advent and presents all
the Sundays and weekdays of the liturgical year for 2009.
The Sundays of the year form the outer circle, and each

defined by colors and weekdays are marked with seasons,
solemnities, feasts, fast days, and memorials of the saints.
On the back of the calendar you will find a
guide to using the calendar, general information about the
liturgical year, and information about the art and artist.
This information is also available through a PDF file on
this Web site. Calendars are even available in both in
English and Spanish!
Use the Year of Grace Calendars
in many ways:
-
give (or sell) one to every household in
the parish and school

hang a poster calendar in every classroom
to teach about the liturgical year

have students report on the significance
of various liturgical days

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.
