Those who prepare the liturgy are entrusted with a very important task—helping our assemblies encounter the real presence of Christ and be transformed and strengthened for discipleship. Life-giving celebrations of the liturgy help foster and nourish the faith of our parishioners. Sourcebook for Sundays, Seasons, and Weekdays is a trusted annual publication providing insightful, concise, and detailed suggestions for preparing the Mass each day of the liturgical year. With its focus on celebrating the liturgy well, this resource will guide parish teams in making “the liturgical prayers of the Christian community more alive” (On Sacred Music, 31).

This helpful and practical resource includes:

  • Preaching points
  • Additional Scripture insights for the Proper of Saints
  • Music preparation guidance and song suggestions
  • Ways to connect the liturgy to the Christian life
  • Original Mass texts for Sundays, solemnities, and feasts of the Lord
  • Seasonal worship committee agendas
  • Ideas for celebrating other rites and customs
  • An online supplement for preparing the sacramental rites
  • Seasonal introductions
  • Daily calendar preparation guides
  • Dated entries with liturgical titles, lectionary citations, and vestment colors
  • Scripture insights
  • Brief biographies of the saints and blesseds

“Each annual edition of Sourcebook provides a consistent fresh approach to enliven the liturgical assembly. With the help of Sourcebook, each Mass can be challenging, uplifting, and spiritually nourishing—enabling the assembly to continue celebrating and living the mysteries.”

—Father John J. Murphy Senior Associate, St. Luke Parish

“As a parish and diocesan youth ministry leader, I have found Sourcebook to be a helpful tool for preparing liturgies and weekly staff discussions. It can help the pastor prepare for his homily as well as help me prepare my own reflections. I highly recommend it as a resource for all pastoral ministers.”

—Michael N. Buckler Regional Associate Director

Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry Diocese of St. Petersburg, FL


Sourcebook is an invaluable tool. Not only does it help us prepare for regular liturgies—it also provides a supportive resource in preparing our faculty and administrative weekly reflections. For a number of years, it has been difficult to find quality reviews of the daily readings that were helpful for those of us in an elementary school setting. Sourcebook is a welcome aid in that regard.”

— Dan Sherman, Principal, St. Paul School, Seattle, Washington
