One of the most urgent questions facing the Catholic church is how best to celebrate its sacraments. The authors face this problem directly and realistically. Re-examining the power and potential of the symbols and ritual acts themselves, they offer a range of ideas and approaches for enabling the symbols of initiation to speak directly and powerfully to the people of God. Their suggestions for enhancing the celebration of the Sunday Mass should be useful to priests and people alike. The book also contains a range of tried and tested rituals for various occasions.
