An insightful catechesis on the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, based on the methodology presented in Sacramentum Caritatis. Examining each of the rites' Old Testament foundations, liturgical history, and sacramental theology, this book explores the connection between the Sacraments of initiation and daily Christian Life.

This Spanish edition contains the officially approved texts and rubrics for the following: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, Baptism of Children, Reception of Baptized Christian, Confirmation, Penance, Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist outside Mass, Marriage, Pastoral Care of the Sick: Rites of Anointing and Viaticum, and the Order of Christian Funerals.

This collection from approved sources of the rites and texts for use during the Solemn Exposition of the Holy Eucharist is so arranged that it may be used for one or several days, according to local custom or pastoral need. In order to provide periods for liturgical prayer during the period of exposition, three services are provided: The Liturgy of the Hours during the Period of Exposition, Eucharistic Services of Prayer and Praise, and Celebration of the Eucharist during the Period of Exposition. Two forms for the Closing Celebration for the Solemn Exposition are also given, one taking place during Mass, and a second when Mass is not celebrated. A listing of suggested Scripture readings, some optional litanies, and music resources are given in the appendices, making this a valuable resource for those responsible for planning solemn expositions.
