In this five-volume series of reflections, Fr. Foley stretches a common understanding of mystagogy beyond the narrow interpretation from the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, which sees mystagogy essentially as a period of post-baptismal catechesis. Mystagogy, in its fuller sense, is a treasured way in which Christians have examined their faith over many centuries. It is an embodied, affective, community-based style of reflection that juxtaposes the action of the liturgy with our own experience of that action, and asks a series of often pointed and always essential questions. It demands that we wake up in worship, shake off the passivity that has enveloped us after years of repetition, and look afresh at the sacramental events that define us. Become What you Eat (a mind-expanding presentation on the act of receiving the Body of Christ) The talks integrate familiar music with profound insights, and are perfect for use in the RCIA post-Vigil mystagogical process, for a parish staff retreat, or for personal spiritual reflection on the Mass and the Eucharist. Parish liturgy committees and other small groups will benefit from the accompanying booklet, which contains a process for reflection that includes questions to help delve deeper into the Eucharist as mystagogy. Also available as part of a 5-CD set, #002695.
