In Saying Amen: Entering into the Mystery of the Sacraments, Kathleen Hughes invites readers to deepen their liturgical prayer. She does this through a method of exploring the sacramental liturgies and reflecting on them. This method of mystagogy—the holy remembering of the words, gestures, sights, scents, music, and silence of the event—opens people to the touch of God. That openness can lead to transformation and a better understanding of what it means to say Amen during communal prayer.
This book, which includes the fruit of Kathleen’s interviews with hundreds of Catholics, is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and pastoral ministers. Not only does Saying Amen present a mystagogical method, it provides reflections from the faithful on how the liturgy has touched their lives.
Foreword by Mark R. Francis, csv
Introduction by Michael S. Driscoll
"In Saying Amen, Kathleen Hughes challenges all who celebrate liturgical prayer to "pay attention" not only to words and gestures, silence and sound, but also to connections made with the abundance of grace discovered in daily living. Reading Saying Amen will undoubtedly result in deeper love of the Lord, whose death and resurrection is the central mystery of all sacraments and the pattern of our Christian participation in liturgy and in life."
—Stephen S. Wilbricht,
"This book is for all who love the liturgy and want to learn to love it more. Kathleen Hughes is a trusted guide, leading us deep into the rites. She invites us to settle in, stretch out our senses, and realize that we are at home in a space that is always new."
—Rhodora Beaton
