The Spirituality of the Diocesan Priest
Beyond the dramatic drop in seminarians and the declining numbers of priests, beyond the sexual misconduct scandals shaking the confidence and trust once readily given to priests, a spiritual deepening and maturing is renewing the spirit and confidence of the diocesan priest. In this collection of essays, twelve priests (including four bishops) reflect on the spirituality of the diocesan priest from their personal and pastoral experience. Have diocesan priests finally transcended the monastic and religious order spiritualities that have shaped their prayer and interior lives for centuries? Is a spirituality particular to the diocesan priest emerging precisely at a time when the priesthood is under such close scrutiny? The contributors - pastors, theologians, poets, and bishops - grapple with the maturing of the diocesan priest's soul, touch the mystery of the priesthood, and unveil personal, often moving, dramas of grace.

Cozzens, "Personal Symbol of Communion" by Denis Edwards, "Confessions of a Pilgrim Pastor" by William Hammer, "A Kindled Heart" by Frank McNulty, "A Glorious and Transcendent Place" by Robert F.

As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets
In stark contrast to the common belief that youth ministers require nothing less than a light show, smoke machine, and sweaty rock bands to reach teenagers' souls, more and more youth have actually been moving toward depth and quiet-and away from fluff and noise. Creeds, candles, silence, and ancient spiritual practices are all gaining understanding and popularity among young people, who are realizing that there are treasures in tradition. As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets is a tool for unearthing, dusting off, and tapping into these treasures. As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets provides an introduction to the biblical form of prayer known as the Liturgy of the Hours-a rich and time-tested way for Christians to pray with the whole community of faith, using the source of its hope, the inspired Scriptures. This type of prayer immerses believers in the poetic word of God found in the Psalms, scriptural canticles, and scriptural readings. As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets contains seventeen prayer experiences designed to put the hearts and minds of adolescents in touch with the sacred. This is a book of simple yet profound prayer experiences that speak to the everyday moments in the lives of young people. Here young people will participate in the venerable practice of using the Scriptures to offer praise, thanksgiving, and intercession. A corresponding music collection on CD for As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets is available through GIA Publications. Three of today's top liturgical composers, Tony Alonso, Michael Mahler, and Lori True, composed the songs. The CD, titled As Morning Breaks and Evening Sets: Psalms, Canticles, and Hymns for the Liturgy of the Hours, contains seventeen contemporary and highly accessible musical settings for use with this book.
