Becoming Eucharistic People - The Hope and Promise of Parish Life

Timothy P. O'Malley, McGrath Institute for Church Life

Sinossi

Winner of a first-place award in the future church category from the Catholic Media Association. We can’t just talk about Christ’s presence in the Eucharist; we have to believe it, celebrate it, and live it both individually and as a community of the faithful. And we must cultivate a culture in our parishes that treats Real Presence not only as an important Catholic doctrine, but also as the most important part of parish identity.  In Becoming Eucharistic People, theologian Timothy P. O’Malley, author of Real Presence, outlines four essential dimensions of a Eucharistic culture in a parish—one that fosters reverence and unity among the faithful, includes every dimension of human life in the mystery of Christ’s Body and Blood, and invites people back to parish life or to become Catholic for the first time.  O’Malley—director of education at the McGrath Institute of Church Life at the University of Notre Dame, academic director of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy, and a member of the executive planning team for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Eucharistic Revival—shows what it means to foster a parish culture where the Eucharist infuses the worldview, priorities, and practices of its members. O’Malley leads you through discovery and discernment about how to create a parish culture where each person is called to holiness and receives the spiritual, theological, and pastoral help they need to meet Christ fully present in the Eucharist and to become a witness to him in the world.  O’Malley will help you reflect on four essential facets of a Eucharistic parish culture:  liturgies of joyful reverence that celebrate the gifts of diversity;  formation that engages the mind, imagination, understanding, and will;  a rich life of popular piety and the vibrancy of the domestic Church; and  a commitment to solidarity with your neighbor.  O’Malley says that when we reflect Christ’s Real Presence to others, our parishes will become sacred spaces in which every person is led to deeper communion with God and with their neighbors.  Online resources, including ideas for parish retreats, teaching resources, and videos based on this book and the US bishops Eucharistic Revival are available from the McGrath Institute for Church Life.  Books in the Engaging Catholicism series from the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame help readers discover the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith through a concise exploration of the Church’s most important but often difficult-to-grasp doctrines as well as crucial pastoral and spiritual practices. Perfect for seekers and new Catholics, clergy and catechetical leaders, and everyone in between, the series expands the McGrath Institute’s mission to connect the Catholic intellectual life at Notre Dame to the pastoral life of the Church and the spiritual needs of her people.

When Your Way Isn't Working:...

Kyle Idleman

Jesus simplifies our need down to one word: connection. 
If you feel like everything is spinning out of control amid the increasing disconnection and isolation of our daily lives, Jesus' words in John 15:5 on how to live will change your life. On the night before he was arrested, he told his followers, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can't do anything." 
From the bestselling author of Not a Fan comes a timely study on how to put connection before production and Christ's way before our own. In this audio Bible study, Kyle Idleman reveals how we can stay connected to the Vine and live a genuinely fruitful life through him.

The Prophet Who Teacheth Lies

Alexander Tibekizas

During COVID-19, many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were shocked to have their church leaders encouraging them to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Some questioned the faith of those who would not take the vaccine; others accused any who spoke against the vaccine of promoting apostasy. Some questioned their own faith when confronted with their prophet promoting what they saw as a lie. Still, others took the vaccine even against their better judgment, believing God would not hold them responsible for the damage it caused if they followed the prophet’s counsel. Avoiding the vaccine was not only the right and privilege of every member, but standing for truth is precisely what the Lord has called those loyal to him to do, both in and outside the Church. The Book of Mormon records that more part of the righteous was seduced to believe in the works of the Gadianton Robbers and thus partook in their spoils. This book documents how that same process occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also witnesses that none need question their faith in God, the Book of Mormon, the restoration of the Church, or their own membership, but rather invigorates all to remain faithful to the purposes of the Lord and stand for truth at all times and all places.

Someone Else's Valentine

Brooke St. James

I was heartbroken and oblivious the first time I met Warren Manning. I wasn’t a fan of country music, so I had no idea who he was. 
We had a brief but heartfelt conversation, and Warren left my life as quickly as he entered it. A few months later I discovered just how famous he was. It was cool that I had met him once, but I figured I would never see him again. 
Thankfully, Warren had other plans.

Inquisition - The Infamous...

Kelly Mass

Perhaps you have heard of the horrible stories of the Spanish, Portuguese, or French inquisition, the Catholic body of persecutors who would arrest the supposed “heathens” and accuse them of witchcraft, heresies, blasphemy, adultery, and a whole list of other sins or crimes. Torture, interrogations, executions, burnings, and other inhumane methods were used to then force, coerce, or kill the victims of this Catholic organization within the church at the time. 
We are talking mostly about medieval times, when the power of the Catholic church extended throughout Europe. The Inquisition, typically called the "Holy Inquisition" in middle ages clerical terms, was a series of organizations within the Catholic Church whose objective was to fight heresy. Research studies of the archives have exposed that the large bulk of sentences were penances, but that cases of repeat unrepentant apostates were given nonreligious courts, where they were normally executed or sentenced to life. The Inquisition was established in 12th-century France to fight spiritual variance (such as apostasy or heresy), particularly amongst the Cathars and Waldensians. The Middle ages Inquisition describes the inquisitorial courts that existed from this time till the mid-15th century. 
Discover the pain, the frustration, the hypocrisy, and the drama behind the inquisition. Learn more about their motives, their methods, their superiors, and their murdering.

Life in the Word - Experience...

Nathan Johnson

The grand message of the Gospel is that we not only have new life, but that life is Jesus Christ Himself. We are told that Christ is our life (Colossians 3:3–4) and we are to live through Him (1 John 4:9). We are reminded that as Christians, we have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer us who live, but Christ lives in us (Galatians 2:20). In short, our lives are no longer our own, for we were bought with a price, therefore, we should glorify God with our lives (1 Corinthians 6:19–20). 
In this twelve-part series, Nathan Johnson explores the incredible reality of living in the Word—both in the Living Word (Jesus) and in His written Word (Scripture). We will examine the essence of Christianity, how to live and abide in His life, and how to study the Bible for the purpose of knowing Christ Jesus more. 
This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Nathan Johnson, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.
