Notes: "The real `value-added', if you will, of this book is in the material it provides to foster `liturgical spirituality', the deepest articulated purpose of this volume. For each Sunday and Holy Day, there are brief questions, based on the Gospel of the day, for discussion by `assembly and faith-sharing groups'. Presiders, deacons, ministers of hospitality, music ministers, altar ministers, lectors and eucharistic ministers are challenged with questions which relate to their particular ministry. (For example, on the Feast of the Epiphany, presiders are asked to consider this question: `The adage is "actions speak louder than words". In what ways is your daily life an epiphany of Christ ?' Lectors are invited to ponder this: `To what extent does your preparation with the word go beyond the mechanics of proclamation to an encounter with the newborn King ?') Questions, challenges and helpful information are also addressed to cantor, choir, music director and `liturgy committee'."
