LITed - LITURGY EDUCATION NEWS

Preparing for Lent
​

Greetings to all from Liturgy Brisbane.

The liturgical season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, 26 February 2020. 
'Lent' is an old English word meaning 'lengthen', because in the northern hemisphere Lent is observed in spring, when the days begin to get longer. 
Here in our Australian context, we are on the precipice of Autumn as we enter the Lenten journey of spiritual renewal and conversion.
​
The first article in this edition of Lited explores the weeks of Lent from the perspective of the Australian imagination.
The second article offers suggestions for personal preparation for Lent.
The third and final article focuses on elements within parish liturgies which can assist the assembly to enter more deeply into the season .


Best wishes from Tom Elich and Clare Schwantes

The Wedding by LITURGIA
  has been designed for couples who are preparing their wedding liturgy.

This electronic resource contains all the readings and prayers from the new revised Order of Celebrating Matrimony as well as music suggestions and lyrics of hymns. It runs on all Internet enabled devices: PCs, Macs, Tablets and Phones.

Choose from the full range of prayers and readings and prepare the liturgy from start to finish. No need to type in any texts!

View music suggestions for each part of the liturgy and insert your chosen hymns, with lyrics, into your liturgy plan.

Type in the names of the bride and groom, and the names appear correctly throughout all of the ritual texts.

Export your liturgy to Word or PDF and print a booklet, or create a Powerpoint presentation for use on display screens.

It also comes with a companion hard-cover book (pictured) which contains all the prayers and texts of the Catholic marriage rite along with other helpful information.
