Reviews
If a pastor and Christian community want to worship "well" during these three days, then I highly recommend purchasing this book. It will help them begin an ancient journey that is also a contemporary one, because the presence of Christ is in our midst. A congregation will grow in their faith and understanding of Baptism and the new life in Christ. By investing the time and energy in this, your parish will benefit throughout the whole year.Journal of the Academy of Parish Clergy
This is an important book for anyone involved in the planning and execution of the Paschal Triduum. It is highly accessible, easy to read, and filled with many helpful details that are both pastoral in their perspective and liturgical in their grounding. Helmes knows the tradition, the theology, and the practice. Coupled with his wealth of experience, this book has the potential to educate and inspire both liturgical ministers and the entire assembly. Highly recommended!Judith M. Kubicki, CSSF, Associate Professor of Theology, Fordham University
