9780814624821: Preparing the Eucharistic Table (Preparing for Liturgy)

Synopsis

Little attention has been given to preparing the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the center of our celebration often because people assume that it is the priest's prayer. In Preparing the Eucharistic Table, Barry Glendinning explores the richness of the liturgy of the Eucharist and points out how your community can prepare a festive, nourishing table of the Eucharist. He encourages paying attention to the words of the various prayers (four Eucharistic Prayers, two for reconciliation, three for children), the acclamations, the gestures, and the music of the Communion rite so that this aspect of your celebrations will come alive. Parish liturgy planners, presiders, liturgical ministers, and everyone who celebrates the Eucharist with children will find here a combination of theory and practice, of vision and application, that will help them prepare the table of the Lord with grace and joy. Discussion questions and a summary conclude each chapter. Chapters include "The Liturgy of the Eucharist," "Preparing the Altar and the Gifts: Setting the Lord's Table," "The Eucharistic Prayer: The Table Blessing of the Feast," "Holy Communion: Feasting at the Table of the Lord," and "Fulfilled in Joy."
