A major part of the annual worship experiences in the Catholic Church revolves around the commemoration of the saints. This book gives a brief history of these outstanding personalities who have been enrolled in the church's "hall of fame." They cover the period from the first to the twentieth century. Some are household names as St. Peter, the first pope, St. Patrick of Ireland, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Therese, the Little Flower, of France and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton of Baltimore, Maryland. Some others are lesser known to us but equally known to the Lord, to whom they dedicated their lives, love and daily service. Their way of life can be both a guide and inspiration to us on our pilgrim journey through this world. Just as there are four seasons in our calendar year, so there are four seasons in the church year. These are Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter. This book gives a short commentary on the weekday scripture readings for these four liturgical seasons. Many people have found these spiritual thoughts enlightening and very helpful in living the particular seasons in union with the liturgy of the church.

A reference guide to the liturgical feasts and seasons of the catholic faith.It is the privilege of teachers of religious education to foster a bond of togetherness (communio) among their young scholars by encouraging them freely to voice their ideas, ideals and ambitions. This will encourage them to help each other in the rough and tumble of their common humanity and fallibility.In the calmness and unbroken regularity of a liturgical ritual that comes down from the apostles, they will be nourished and sustained by the holy Eucharist (Do this in memory of Me) and graced by the simplicity and beauty of their devotion to Mary, the Mother of God (All generations will call me blessed. Luke 1.48)Their moral imagination will be strengthened through a wide range of truths that become truly alive in story (biblical and secular) and also in music, painting, sculpture, peace, prayer.Good music lifts the spirit into realms of transcendence where wonder and worship uncover deep inner feelings of joy, forgiveness, peace, prayer.Their growth in self-discipline will lead to gratitude for the gift of live itself and for all that God has made leading them, as they grow older, to become aware of local and global environmental issues.Through goodness itself, which is the very fullness of life, they will become as steadfast as ?trees, planted by running steams with deep roots and leaves that never wither. (cf psalm I)May our young people, in the words of St Thomas Aquinas (13th century) ?Love those whose opinions we share, and those whose opinions we reject, for both have made the effort to discover the truth, and in so doing, have assisted us.?
