A classic book of ceremonies and services according to the Western Rite, for all services other than the Eucharist which a parish priest would normally carry out. It contains orders of service for baptism, marriage, funerals, sick visiting, home communion and penance, as well as numerous blessing ceremonies for buildings, objects and events.

Sunday worship, baptisms, weddings and funerals are the shop window of the church and there is nothing more important for mission than getting them right. How do we help congregations and occasional visitors encounter God through them? This practical guide draws upon the treasury of the church's tradition and experience to establish good practice.

This simple, practical guide to 'pure prayer' teaches that we should give God freedom to be himself in our hearts without controlling him with words and images. This is a nourishing, life-giving stream of hope and refreshment.

This practical volume explores every aspect of serving as a Eucharist minister: what to do; how to learn vital skills; understanding the Eucharist more deeply, giving Communion in church and so forth.

Includes general hymns; hymns for feasts, seasons and saints' days; office hymns for the liturgical year; an enlarged eucharistic section; responsorial psalms, and a new English folk mass setting.
