A Great Resource for Any Liturgical Minister,
This review is from: Sacred Mysteries: Sacramental Principles and Liturgical Practice (Paperback)
This book presents an insightful and valuable presentation on the principles and liturgical practice of the sacraments of the Catholic Church and how they are perceived by the Second Vatican Council. After three introductory chapters that deal with a reflection on the quality of liturgical worship during the years after the Council, Smolarsky states that sacraments need to be experienced as practices that establish relationships between and among God and human beings. The author discusses each of the seven sacraments, giving a brief historical development and then an explanation of the present rites and their effectiveness. In an insighful final chapter, there is a presentation of actual practices that prevent the full power of the rites. This is a very concise and effective resource for clergy and laity involved in liturgy. The fact that is both well written and brief makes Smolarski's book a first hand source for weekly liturgical planning.
