Announcing a new resource
for leaders of prayer
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 18, 2008—Resource Publications announces the
release of a revised edition of a book to assist all those who lead prayer
in their communities.
Leading the Assembly in Prayer: A Practical Guide for Lay and Ordained
Presiders provides detailed assistance in preparing for this important
ministry. This new edition, revised to reflect the revisions in the
USCCB document “Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest,” gives
lay leaders and clergy guidelines for authentic prayer leadership.
Part one sets the presider in the context of the liturgical assembly.
It discusses the skills needed by all who practice this ministry, and challenges
to spiritual growth all who lead prayer. At the same time it encourages
those who are novices with its detailed explanations.
The second part of the book focuses on specific applications of the
principles. Beginning with the Sunday Eucharist, it gives the essential
helps for the lay leader who leads Sunday worship when no priest is available.
Included are chapters on Liturgy of the Word with Children and the Order
of Christian Funerals. A formation process for presiders is included in
the appendix.
Msgr. Michael J. Begolly completed his doctorate
of ministry degree at Catholic Theological Union. Monsignor Begolly is
pastor of Mt. St. Peter Parish in New Kensington, PA and its partner parish
of All Saints in Arnold, PA.
