The Mystery of Christ Made Present by Odo Casel Pdf
"The Mystery of Christ is always the same and always complete." These words of Odo Casel, show, as do many other sayings of his, that his thought did not focus exclusively on the celebration of the Eucharist. The intention of this great stimulator amongst the theologians of our century was that his theology of divine worship should embrase the whole of the Christian's liturgical and sacramental life.... He was no mere scholar and specialist theologians, but a spiritual leader and guide for all enquiring men and women; and yet, in spite of his amazingly vast output, he had to restrict himself for the most part to the essays which still command our respect.... Odo Casel, however, certainly felt that the feasts of the Christian Year and their proper celebration urgently required theological and spiritual exposition.
The life of Christ… …still holds mysteries. Would you like a deeper understanding? He was an Initiate. Thales of Argos’ journey is fascinating, for he takes us along his path through the tests of wisdom. With the Great Initiate, who was present for Christ’s Crucifixion and Resurrection, we witness the true mission of the Son of God. How many answers await? What are the innermost secrets of Mary? Eye-opening and heart-touching, The Mystery of Christ brings a fresh perspective, an uncommon insight, and spiritual depth to these dramatic events which occurred two thousand years ago. With the feel of a Hans Christian Anderson tome… …this book will leave you spellbound. You’ll love this fresh look at Christ because the numerous spiritual revelations will give you the depth of knowledge you’ve always wanted. “Few books have shaken me to the core as much as The Mystery of Christ. The descriptive language used is so powerful, so evocative, and so moving as to take it into the realms of pure poetry in literature. I cannot stress enough how powerful this book is.” — Grant Leishman, Readers' Favorite “The wise observations of Thales of Argos and his reflections on spiritual mysteries, past lives, and Christian connections to some of the greatest questions of the times creates a powerful account that should be considered a mainstay of any Christian literature, history, or spirituality collection.” — Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review Get it now.
‘Keith Ward . . . makes complex matters readily accessible.’ Rowan Williams At the heart of Christian faith lies a vision of Christ present at the beginning of creation, in the crucified and risen Jesus, and at the end of all things. This vision retains its ancient power and gains new depth as it is reshaped in the light of our advanced understanding of a vast and evolving cosmos. To help us form a truly contemporary Christian spirituality, Keith Ward, writing in our own time and place (rather than the fourteenth century of Julian of Norwich or the twentieth of Thomas Merton), offers a set of reflections on what he believes to be the unique and life-transforming revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. And as we explore the spiritual truths relating to this mystery expressed in the Gospels, meditation leads naturally to prayer.

Many Christians have been missing it. The way we reign in Life and walk in freedom and power is a way we wouldn't expect - because it is a paradox to the natural human / world's way of thinking. It was a secret hidden since the beginning and for ages. It was a mystery.... until Christ revealed it. It is an image of God Himself. And it is presented in the book, LOVE in the Present Tense: Mysteries Revealed There may be surprises among the book's topics such as: "What IS LOVE - Anyway?" "Mysteries Revealed" "Set Free...to be Owned as Slaves...Whaatt?!" "Christ Revealed a Secret" "Spiritual Sacrifices....Pleasing to God? Oh Please" "Not to Follow? Not to Imitate?... Hmmm..." "The Works of Law vs The Obedience of Faith" "Angry? Offended? Giving Others Control Over Us?" "Capture the Terrorists" In this book it has been my endeavor to speak of some of the Mysteries of LOVE that have been revealed in New Testament scripture and which many believers in Christ have missed. The mysteries spoken of here are God's Will for us. Often people seek His will, thinking it only means an outer doing of a thing or being somewhere at a certain time. But here we explore the MYSTERY of His will, which in all wisdom and understanding He MADE KNOWN to us according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ. Eph.1:8-9 NIV Following Jesus' resurrection, the Apostle Paul was explaining the mystery of Christ to people when he said, "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters..." Rom. 11:25 The ones who were spreading the good news about Christ to the people said, "We declare God's wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began." 1 Cor. 2:7 NIV The mystery which had been hidden from the past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, the mystery that is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Col. 1:26-27 These mysteries involve not only God's love for us but our experiencing the transforming power of the risen Christ and our expression of His love toward others. We will see the many words and phrases that are used to explain that ONE thing - LOVE in the Present Tense.
The primary purpose of Prophetic Liturgy is to inquire into the prophetic dimension of the liturgy. Some questions addressed in the book are: How can a liturgy be prophetic? How can liturgy form and transform individuals and communities? In which sense does the liturgy facilitate a living participation in socio-political-economic life? How does the sacramental practice challenge the church to mediate God's gifts of grace, love, justice, and mercy to the world? Possible answers for these questions begin to emerge as we develop an understanding of religious praxis as an active and dynamic prophetic action, in which the community of faith claims its identity, promotes an engaged faithful Christian life, and affirms the sacramental life of the church as a source of formation and inspiration for prophetic praxis, mediating God's gift for the life of the world. There is risk in presenting an option for prophetic praxis, in that it may go beyond the comfort zone of a community and engender spiritual and political alienation. The most challenging ethical hope of this book is to provide the worshiping community with prophetic awareness of socio-economic injustice, while at the same time preserving the community's historical-cultural identity, its religious values, and its sacramental spirituality.
The Prayers of the New Missal by Anscar J. Chupungco Pdf
After the publication of The Roman Missal, Third Edition, much attention was given to the catechesis of the clergy and the faithful on the Order of Mass, which contains the chief theological and spiritual elements of the eucharistic celebration. In The Prayers of the New Missal, Anscar J. Chupungco expands the reader's focus to the other parts of the Mass--namely, the orations or the Collect, Prayer over the Offerings, Prayer after Communion, and Prayer over the People. He demonstrates that these elements, too, are a rich source of doctrine and spirituality waiting to be shared with others through homily and catechesis. Preachers and catechists will especially appreciate Father Chupungco's recommendations for approaching the difficult and sometimes vexing structure and vocabulary of the new Missal. He offers helpful exercises for analyzing the Latin texts, comparing the original and the English versions, and crafting provisional literal translations that will aid in easier comprehension. Finally, he concludes with an ample sampling of homiletic and catechetical notes that will serve as a rich source of nourishment for preaching and catechesis. Anscar J. Chupungco, OSB, who passed away in 2013, was a member of the Abbey of Our Lady of Montserrat in the Philippines. He was president of the Pontifical Liturgical Institute in Rome and is currently director of Paul VI Institute of Liturgy in the Philippines. In 2011, the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions presented to him the Frederick R. McManus Award for his contribution to pastoral liturgy. He authored many books, including What, Then, Is Liturgy? Musings and Memoir (Liturgical Press, 2010).

Liturgical Time and Space by Anscar J. Chupungco Pdf
The final volume in the Handbook for Liturgical Studies series, Volume V: Liturgical Time and Space contains the concluding material for an integral study of the liturgy. It opens with a preliminary notion of time and space, before discussing in detail three types of liturgical celebrations on which time and space have a direct and particular bearing. The first of these is the Liturgy of the Hours. This topic is developed in the light of the early Christian tradition until the fourth century and its subsequent forms in both East and West. The second is the Liturgical Year, traditionally called the anni circulas. The development of the Liturgical Year during the first four centuries is reviewed. This is followed by adetaled study of the Byzantine, Roman, and non-Roman Western tradition. It concludes with the theology and spirituality of the Liturgical Year wherein the mystery of Christ as a saving event is made present in time, so that the faithful may lay hold of it through the Word and the sacraments. The theology of liturgical space is drawn from the mutual interaction between the assembled community, which gives meaning to the place of assembly, and the place itself, which upholds and signifies community.

The Mystery of Christ-- and why We Don't Get it by Robert Farrar Capon Pdf
This engaging book probes the meaning of salvation--peace, forgiveness, grace, reconciliation--spoken of in the New Testament as a "mystery". (back cover).
F. X. Durrwell’s In the Redeeming Christ is a gentle, forgotten masterpiece that reveals the relationship between personal holiness, sacramental life in the Church, and the salvation of the world. Now re-published with an introduction by Scott Hahn, it is a beautiful meditation on the Christian life. At the beginning of In the Redeeming Christ, priest and theologian F. X. Durrwell states: “The Christian’s salvation lies in his personal sanctification. There too lies the salvation of others.” Durrwell’s classic offers a hopeful and lucid vision of the Christian spiritual life to inspire and teach readers about the mystery of living in personal holiness—and becoming most truly themselves—by being “in Christ” as a member his body. Such contemporary theologians as Scott Hahn and Brant Pitre have begun to discover the importance of both the idea of personal holiness and what this highly original thinker had to say about it.
