Revelations Of Glory
Saints are not set apart as perfect or sinless, for they have the same weaknesses as all humans, but they are who God has called them to be and in being themselves, they reveal God's glory. Saints are people who work in common union with God and he is seen at work in their lives. This book is to introduce you to some of the people who are heroes of the Church and are revelations of God's glory. We share a common union with them, for we have the same Creator and Redeemer and the same Spirit of God: in God we are one with them.Each celebration of a saint follows the same format: a short introduction to the saint's life, the Scripture readings for the saint's day, which are taken mainly from the Common Worship Lectionary, an opening prayer, intercessions, the peace and a blessing.Together with its companion volume Icons of Glory, this book will encourage you to explore the common union to which we all belong and to discover God's call to you, which is unique. This is a call to be a fellow worker with God and to reveal his glory in your life. To see full contents Click Here

Christ Our Peace
Christ Our Peace offers six short, reflective services for use throughout Lent and Holy Week. Drawing on the early Church's tradition of using the weeks before Easter as a time of instruction, reflection and meditation, this collection provides one service for each of the four Sundays in Lent, together with Passion Sunday and Palm Sunday. Written by Stuart Thomas, the services are designed to be used flexibly. Each can stand on its own, but the individual elements - prayers, responses, songs and meditations - can equally be extracted and used in other contexts. The material is based on the ASB readings and themes for each Sunday in Lent, but is entirely independent and may be used by churches or Christian groups of any tradition. Recognising that quieter, more reflective services may not attract vast congregations, the book takes its inspiration from Christ's promise to be present 'wherever two or three are gathered'. There is space for silence and meditation, with suggestions for hymns from the New Anglican Edition of Hymns Old and New that match the thoughtful tone of the liturgy throughout. Specifications Format: Paperback - Perfect Bound Size: 160 x 245 mm Publication date: 1996 Page count: 32 pages ISBN: 9780862098988 Contents Introduction First Sunday in Lent Second Sunday in Lent Third Sunday in Lent Fourth Sunday in Lent Passion Sunday Palm Sunday

It aims to bring together music which will encourage students in their search for a living, vibrant faith.Christine Byrne McCann, Headteacher of a large Catholic secondary school and the composer of popular hymns such as 'Gifts of bread and wine', has called on a lifetime of experience to compile Praying in Song. The result is a generous collection of music that will interest and inspire young people; accessible but thought-provoking, many contemporary but all meaningful. They will find here much that reflects their youthful enthusiasm for life and love and all that is good and just and wholesome.A glance at the contents list will confirm the broad editorial policy followed by Christine Byrne McCann; hymns from the past which still speak to young people, songs from the Renewal movement of recent years, as well as many new pieces appearing here for the first time - including a special hymn for the Millennium.Special care has been taken to ensure that the keys chosen are within the normal vocal range of adolescent voices. The accompaniments are for pianists of moderate ability, and guitar chords are given throughout.
