Meditation of my Heart | Liturgical Music by James Walton
Meditation of my Heart is a project undertaken by James Walton.
He writes:
He writes:
"I want to provide a database of 30* congregation-friendly Psalm settings in a dedicated easy-to-use space (like this one) so that anyone at all: a priest, church-musician, school-chaplain, cantor, music-student or anybody else can find and download the sheet music for the Psalm they need for whatever purpose they have (probably a Church service, but psalm-karaoke-parties are definitely gaining ground…). Once you’ve found the Psalm, you would then be able to email it to other musicians, embed it in a service-sheet or bulletin, print it off, photocopy it, read it straight from an iPad, put it in a lovely plastic wallet if you like. Donations would be very welcome, but everything here will be available for free. This will provide an opportunity for parishes and schools to experiment with new music without having to work around budgets and stuff."You can find out more about this project by visiting James' Website at http://meditationofmyheart.com/

Beyond the Catechist's Toolbox
Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox by Joe Paprocki
Reviewed by Gilles Côté
In a previous
book published in 2005 (The Catholic Toolbox) Joe Paprocki provided tools and
tips to help catechists in their teaching task. This new publication builds upon that
foundation but focuses upon a deeper level of the catechetical experience by
proposing a step-by-step demonstration of how to make a catechetical session
not only informative, but one that helps students “encounter the risen Christ
in their midst, transforming their minds and hearts so that they live as true
disciples.” He suggests an approach founded on the principle that catechists are
not simply teachers of a subject but facilitators of an encounter with a living
God. He points out that while textbooks are important tools in a catechetical
setting, what is more essential and vital is creating a prayerful setting in
which this encounter can take place. This little book describes a five-step
approach to creating a prayerful environment in a 75 minutes catechetical
session.
As a catechist
with over 20 years of experience, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Joe’s book. To
illustrate his points he often describes real situations that he or other
catechists have encountered while teaching. He is always very aware of what
goes on in a real catechetical setting. The strategies and resources he
suggests are always very concrete and practical. Joe obviously not only knows
how to reach his students and help them see how God touches their lives; he
also knows catechists and can definitely help them become better catechists.
You can order Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox here.
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from its publisher, Loyola Press.
