Symbols and signs
are essential to the Roman Catholic Liturgy and Ritual. Candles;
what do they represent? How and when are they used and how do
they affect us? Water; it can be a symbol of death as well as
life and it is used in some of the Church's most important rituals.
Gestures; how standing, kneeling, hand gestures, and even sitting
down have specific purposes in the mass. Crosses; in addition
to the symbol of Christianity which hangs in every church, we
cross ourselves and make "the sign of the cross" at
important moments in our rituals. This program will help young
people, catechumens and even life-long Catholics to better understand
the important reasons for these traditions and how they help us
grow in faith.

Connecting
with God
Have
you ever thought of God as you gaze out at the ocean, listen to
your favorite music, or as you have a real good stretch in the
morning? If so, you were "Connecting with God". Sr.
Dorothy Ederer, O.P., shows how we can use gestures to pray when
we have no words. Fr. Brendan Moss, O.S.B, helps us see how music
can connect us to life and to God. Kathleen Chesto invites us
to pray surrounded by the power and beauty of nature.
Creative, informative, entertaining, "Connecting with God"
is tailor-made for teen retreats or prayer time in class. It is
also excellent for RCIA and adult education. Study guide included.
