Description:
Subtitled "a basic manual for planners and ministers," this book provides an overview of the liturgy. There are six sections: First things, some basic thoughts on liturgy and Christian life.
Elements of liturgy, words, sounds, places, gestures, and objects.
Who does the liturgy? Assembly, celebrant, lector, et al.
The Mass, considered in detail.
Days and seasons, the liturgical year.
Other rites, marriage, sickness, etc.
Each section is followed by "reflections," by Sister Georgene Wilson, "discussions," by Father Ron Lewinski, and "resources," by Father Edmund Siedlecki.Note that this 1978 edition is the first, supplanted by later editions by the same author.
