Aus dem Klappentext

Living Baptism Daily offers ways to carry out the meaning of baptism on a day-to-day basis. Lawrence Mick invites readers to affirm and embrace their baptismal identity and to base their daily lives on that identity. By drawing on the liturgical experience of catechumens and the rest of the assembly who celebrate with them, Living Baptism Daily provides a basis for reflection, discussion, and prayer. Chapters are ?Fresh from the Font,? ?The Journey of a Lifetime,? ?Becoming a Christian,? ?Called into Community,? ?Welcoming the Stranger,? ?Echoing the Word,? ?Called and Chosen,? ?Reborn to New Life,? ?Living in the Spirit,? ?Gathered Around the Table,? ?What Have I Done?? and ?Looking Back, Looking Forward.??Living Baptism Daily invites all Christians to a much needed and practical understanding of the sacramental fire that burns under their daily living.? Doxology ?Every catechumenate team member should have a copy on their bookshelf, but many others will benefit from plunging into the life-giving words and waters of Living Baptism Daily.? Emmanuel?Living Baptism Daily presents an excellent explanation of the RCIA process.? Ligourian?This book would benefit catechumens, candidates, and RCIA team members, as well as the parish as a whole in helping each individual enter into the process with the rest of the community.? Ligourian?Appropriately titled I would recommend this book for parish, seminary, and some academic libraries, and highly recommend it for encounter groups and anyone who desires a clear and direct explanation of why the Catholic Church reintroduced the catechumenate as a part of a aggiornamento in the wake of the second Vatican Council.? Catholic Library World?Living Baptism Daily grasps how we become Catholics, for, as the familiar adage goes, Catholics are made, not born! I warmly recommend this book as a primer of baptismal-paschal spirituality for all in the parish.? Pastoral Music?Set up for personal use or for use by a group, each chapter of the book explores the mystery of living like baptized Christians through a different prism, offering ways for the faithful to understand how they can more fully embrace their membership in the Church. By being more aware of our call, we can live a better, more full Christian life.? Crux of the News?Readily accessible and always reliable, Lawrence Mick?s work in pastoral theology is of the first order. In Living Baptism Daily he weaves together strands from the liturgical rites, sacramental theology, pastoral experience and homespun stories. The result is a multi-texted, richly textured rendering of what it means to take one?s baptismal commitment with utmost seriousness.?Michael Downey Cardinal?s TheologianArchdiocese of Los Angeles?With his usual clarity and wisdom Fr. Mick leads the reader through the Initiation process for adults and skillfully expands the discussion to include important insights into the baptized?s own identity in Christ and the Spirit. The work is not only about the process of catechesis for catechumens and candidates, it is a rich source of Mystagogical catechesis for the whole community. Parishioners, catechists and pastoral teams will all find material here for fruitful discussion and prayer.?Catherine VincieAquinas InstituteSt. Louis, Missouri?Lawrence Mick has done a masterful job translating the vision of the RCIA into a practical spirituality accessible to everyday parishioners. His reflections are clearly the fruit of considerable pastoral wisdom and a savvy sense of how to connect with people where they live. Anyone who has wondered why theologians and liturgists make so much of baptism should read this book.?Bob DugganSt. Rose of Lima ChurchGaithersburg, MD?This is a book worth reading! Catechumenate team members will get a ?feel? for their ministry in a powerful way by absorbing the practical spirituality of baptism contained in Larry Mick?s Living Baptism Daily. Mick has a knack for simple, straightforward presentation that reflects solid scholarship and considerable pastoral experience.?Bob DugganSt. Rose of Lima ChurchGaithersburg, MD?Living Baptism Daily is an engaging and entertaining presentation of the ?genius? of the RCIA. The prose is crisp, the stories and examples hit home, and the format is lively. After reading this, the ordinary parishioner will understand ?why all the fuss? about the RCIA?and may well want to join the team to be part of the action.?Bob DugganSt. Rose of Lima ChurchGaithersburg, MD?One of the questions most often asked by initiation directors, liturgists, catechists, and pastors is, ?How do we get the assembly involved?? Fr. Mick reminds us that involvement in the Christian community is the responsibility of, and not an option for, the baptized. Drawing upon the rites, periods, symbols, and prayers of the RCIA, he leads us into deeper reflection on the ways in which we should continue to ?grow into? and live out our baptismal promises. This book is an excellent foundational and study/discussion tool for initiation teams, baptism preparation teams, and parish staffs.? Mary Sellars MalloyDirectorLiturgy OfficeDiocese of Saginaw?What Aidan Kavanagh's The Shape of Baptism did for the development of the RCIA decades ago, Larry Mick does for the churches today in Living Baptism Daily. This splendid book is rooted in solid scholarship and is filled with pastoral insight for anyone involved in baptismal ministry and spirituality. I hope that pastoral staffs will let this book guide their pilgrim way tothe font, the table and the world.?John J. O'Brien, C.P., S.T.D.Calvary Retreat Center, Shrewsbury MAChristian Initiation Seminar Member of the North American Academy of Liturgy
