Summary: Outstandingly comprehensive!
Review: Living Liturgy has multiple uses. Preachers can use it for both background on the readings as well as contextualizing those readings within the Liturgy...a reality often lost sight of. Living Liturgy--unlike other resources--understands the value of the **appointed psalm** within the Liturgy of any given day. The psalm is often the key to the gospel....Above all, Living Liturgy helps me to make the connection between PASCHAL MYSTERY and the texts of any one Sunday. The questions provided in the side-bars can be used by anyone, not just for the groups mentioned. ...great for Lectionary based bible sharing groups.

Summary: An excellent resource for liturgy preparation
Review: My parish's Liturgy Planning Committee recently switched to using this book and we all love it! It includes text of all the Sunday readings including the psalms, and it has great ideas for liturgy planning, catechesis, and could even be used by small faith groups for prayer and study.

Summary: It's ok...
Review: The book is nice, but there are other sources which have been around for awhile which are just as good. The author talks of the Paschal Mystery...over and over and over. Granted, this is a part of our lives as Christians, but she didn't "invent" it. It just seems if you're not following her writing and theology, you're not being a good Catholic christian and don't know how to worship. However, I still use the book from time to time.

Summary: It's All Right Here
Review: This comprehensive lectionary-based resource begins with the First Sunday of Advent 2004 and contains lectionary materials for Liturgical Year A Four pages for each Sunday and solemnity present the gospel and a reflection on it followed by a section containing key words and phrases from the gospel and ways to connect the reading with current life and the early Church.
Scripture, background, focus point, faith sharing questions, and notes for catechists and liturgists are included. A lectionary pronunciation guide and index of liturgical and biblical topics are included. This is an excellent source for parish liturgy committees and bible study groups.
