Eucharist and American Culture

Liturgy, Unity, and Individualism

By: Dennis Chester Smolarski

In the prayer for unity described in chapter 17 of the Gospel of John, Jesus prays that "all may be one." This theme recurs in the New Testament and in writings throughout Christian history. In contrast, U.S. society is characterized by "individualism" as evidenced by various recent scholarly publications and surveys. Americans are less likely now to participate in social groups than they were a couple of decades ago. As a result, some aspects of good liturgy, such as common posture or communal singing, are increasingly perceived as "counter-cultural." Eucharist and American Culture is a unique resource that considers the impact of American individualism upon the liturgical celebration of the Eucharist. Short, insightful chapters offer key sociological points and liturgical understanding as well as summarize recent academic works and research results of Robert Bellah, Robert Putnam, and Jean Twenge. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal is consulted regarding the celebration of the liturgy. Suitable for use as an undergraduate religious studies resource, this book will also find a place in courses in religion and culture and sociology of religion, as well as in seminary formation programs and programs for parish liturgical ministers.

Q and A

Seasons, Sacraments and Sacramentals

By: Dennis C. Smolarski

Can a layperson preside at a blessing? Should a wedding always be celebrated during a celebration of eucharist? In this second volume of the Q&A series, Father Dennis Smolarski, SJ, answers these and more questions about the liturgy and its celebration--40 in all--posed by priests, liturgists, music directors, liturgy committees, ministry coordinators and diocesan liturgy offices. As in the first volume, Q&A: The Mass, the answers are informed by both the author's legal expertise and his pastoral sensitivity. The answer to each question takes into account the latest edition of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, as well as other official documents. At the same time, each answer is informed with the common sense and pastoral concern of an experienced presider and member of the assembly.

Sacred Mysteries

Sacramental Principles and Liturgical Practice

By: Dennis Chester Smolarski

Sacred Mysteries' opens by reflecting on the continual process of reform in the church and on the foundational principles for all liturgical action. It then moves to a discussion of each of the sacraments, with particular reference to the way they are ritualized in the assembly. A final chapter addresses practices that can cloud the experience of mystery during liturgical celebrations and thus inhibit rather than enhance the power of the rite.
