Here is a new permanent easy-to-use Sunday Missal that gives all
the Mass texts for a three-year cycle. A special feature of this
Edition is the very large type for the Readings and large bold
print for the peoples' responses.
An instant classic of contemporary spirituality, bringing together
an engaging introduction to the Christian contemplative tradition
for people inside or on the margins of the churches who feel drawn
to the world of silent prayer. Martin Laird shows how silence and
meditation can offer a remedy to many contemporary dilemmas and
emotional struggles. Writing with great clarity, depth and
authority, Laird examines the meditative methods and traditions
found within contemplative prayer. He also explores the role of
breath and awareness in the spiritual life, which, while usually
associated with Buddhism, is also an ancient concern of Christian
thinkers. Into the Silent Land brings together scholarship,
pastoral practice and the author's own personal experience. It
offers new insights for the student but is especially intended for
the non-specialist reader who feels drawn to the world of silent
prayer and is looking to the Christian contemplative tradition for
inspiration and guidance.

pursuit of virtues, we grow nearer to God and become more like who
He made us to be. From Tsh Oxenreider, bestselling author of Shadow

meditate and rejoice in the transcendent miracle of Easter. You
will... uncover what it means to participate in the liturgical
traditions of Lent, from fasting to almsgiving experience artwork
and music that illuminate the impact-both personal and global-of
Jesus's death and resurrection contemplate the wonder of Christ's
redemption of all humankind, especially as this time of
introspection reveals your human limitations Starting on Ash
Wednesday and leading you all the way through Holy Week, Bitter and
Sweet is an invitation to better understand Jesus's sacrifice as
you delight in His ultimate love for you.
