Praying in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament outside of Mass has been a part of Catholic tradition for centuries. This practice leads us to a deeper appreciation of Christ’s presence in the sacred species and in our lives and to fuller participation in the Mass.
This resource provides pastoral guidance for connecting Eucharistic devotions to the liturgy and for preparing celebrations that integrate Scripture, music, and the full participation of the assembly. It has been updated to correspond to the new translation of Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery outside Mass.
As part of the Preparing Parish Worship™ series, this book includes:
*Theological reflections on the Eucharist
*A historical overview of the development of Eucharistic piety
*Pastoral guidance for celebrating exposition and benediction, Eucharistic
*processions, and Eucharistic congresses
*Answers to frequently asked questions
*Assistance with best liturgical practices
*Inspirational and informative quotations from Scripture and Church documents
