As a protestant pastor frustrated by the lack of material from my own church for the use in lay Communion ministry and convinced of the Roman church's high standards of liturgy and sacrament I ordered this book. IT IS FANTASTIC! Order a copy for each Lay Minister of Communion. The book in pamphlet form will transform both clergy and lay Communion to the sick, hospital, and homebound from passing them a piece of bread into a time of worship where those receiving the sacrament are made a part of the congregation and the Eucharistic celebration. For the protestant, a few minor editorial changes may be desirable. For the Roman Catholic...I am jealous of your resources and pray that one day the church will once again serve our God with one name. If the ministry of the laity will extend beyond Eucharist an extended resource called "A Ritual For Laypersons" is also available.

It's very helpful prayer book, easy and simple instructions, you can find an appropiate prayer for every circunstance

I just received and read this today as a preparation for becoming a Eucharistic Minister. It was extremely well-written and includes helpful ideas on how to approach the sick and/or isolated person and help them feel a part of the community of Christ. I am so looking forward to this new aspect of my life as a Catholic and I'm sure this book will be a very helpful, step-by-step guide. (My priest also recommended "The Joy of Being a Eucharistic Minister", which I also ordered).

This is an update to a product I have successfully enjoyed for about 3 years. I was very disappointed that the 2010 update did not include streets in my area which have existed for 5 and more years.

When traveling we use it on my wife's MacBook running Window XP with the updated GPS L-40 USB unit which came with the 2009 product.
