January 6 The Epipany of the Lord
While Balthasar, Caspar and Melchior brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, I have an intersting doument you might want to look up. About five years ago, the Holy See was to publish a set of guidelines on popular piety and devotion. While they have not to my knowledge published the document in book form, it is on the Vatican website. This is really a great document. It is about 186 pages, but it covers every aspect of Catholic piety from Intercession to the Dead, shrines and pilgrimages, Mary and the devotion to the Saints. It is something that I believe every serious catechist should have in his or her arsenal.
It is called DIRECTORY ON POPULAR PIETY AND THE LITURGY: PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES. you can find it in curia/congregations section, specifically: Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship (April 2002).
Also, don’t forget, the SONRISE MORNING SHOW adds another hour starting tomorrow. It will now be on from 6:00-9:00am.
Please pray for all priests and seminarians and support Sacred Heart Radio
