CAROL LUEBERING
What do you ask of God’s Church for your child? This question, taken from the rite of baptism, requires only the briefest of answers: baptism—faith—eternal life. And yet, the baptism of your child is a complex event, embracing those difficult concepts we understand only by degrees: faith, life, relationship, Church.
The far-reaching and clearly formed insights in Your Child’s Baptism will help you prepare for the simple— and yet complex—beginning of your child’s life in Christ.

The process by which adults are initiated into the Catholic faith throughout the United States is now called the OCIA—the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults. “Order” is a clearer translation of the Latin term for the process formerly known as the RCIA—the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. People preparing for baptism and reception into the Church celebrate several rites as part of the order to which those rites belong— an order whose mission is to journey in the faith. The US Conference of Catholic Bishops adopted the name change in 2021, with American dioceses introducing the name thereafter. For more information, please contact your local diocese.
Teach the core of what it means to be Catholic with Journey of Faith and Jornada de Fe for OCIA (RCIA) / RICA.
Written in the engaging, pastoral style of the Redemptorists, Journey of Faith and Jornada de Fe speak clearly to audiences in their voice— adults, teens, children, and Hispanics.
The flexible format of the nested lessons enable you to teach the lessons in the order you want. The comprehensive Leader Guide gives you everything you need to walk into your OCIA (RCIA) class and start leading, whether you’re a veteran OCIA (RCIA)/RICA instructor or a first-time volunteer.
“Invites us all to ask questions”
“We use Journey of Faith for Children, Teens and Adults throughout our whole program, and we are excited to see it updated. It is an excellent tool that engages the learner and invites us all to ask questions. It teaches the core of what it means to be Catholic.”
Maggie Martin, Director of Religious Education, St. John of God Church, Central Islip, NY
Covering each of the periods of Christian initiation, Journey of Faith and Jornada de Fe begin with the concept of faith in the Catholic Church and explore many topics in their 48 lessons.
Inquiry (Preguntas) The lessons in Journey of Faith, Inquiry begin with the concept of faith in the Catholic Church and continue the exploration into many topics that will be discussed further throughout the program. Some of the concepts include the Trinity, Jesus as fully human and fully divine, an introduction to the Bible, prayer life, the Mass, Church leadership, Mary, and the saints.
Enlightenment (Discernimiento) Journey of Faith, Enlightenment takes candidates through a period of self-reflection and preparation for the sacraments. They learn about God’s mercy and forgiveness through an introduction to the scrutinies and are encouraged to participate in the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. They also participate in a group Lenten retreat, an opportunity for them to spend some quiet time with themselves and God before becoming fully initiated into the Church.
Catechumenate (Catecumenado) The concepts in Journey of Faith, Catechumenate include the OCIA (RCIA) process and rites, salvation history, lessons on each of the sacraments, Church history, dignity of life, social justice, and moral living.
Mystagogy (Mistagogia) Journey of Faith, Mystagogy leads the new members of the Church, into full participation with their Church and parish communities. At confirmation, they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and the mission to evangelize. These Mystagogy lessons focus on how to become witnesses for Christ, how to continue their faith formation now that they are fully initiated into the Church, and how to share the joy and enthusiasm they have for the faith with others.
Liguori’s Journey of Faith for Adults and Jornada de Fe para Adultos programs welcome adults of all generations and backgrounds to the Catholic faith, meeting the people where they are in their own faith journey. The programs address relevant life issues, faith topics, and questions in a catechetical approach to OCIA (RCIA).
“The materials look great. I appreciate your easy-to-read lessons and wraparound Leader Guides that show where to introduce key points and discussion starters. The flexible format lets leaders rearrange the topics to fit our process. Journey of Faith makes the Christian initiation process look so easy!”

“In RCIA, the process of spiritual formation can become lost in the catechetical process. Journey of Faith helps RCIA leaders to keep this vital balance.”
Bill Bischoff, Master Catechist and Instructor for RCIA Catechist Certification Classes, Diocese of San Diego
Journey of Faith for Children and Jornada de Fe para Niños provide a solid catechetical foundation by introducing children to the Catholic faith in a way that will start them on a lifelong journey of knowing and loving Jesus.
Children learn at their own pace. They learn by asking questions and by doing. That’s why we’ve combined the lessons with a variety of engaging activities in a way that’s flexible enough for you to modify to your unique needs.
Each lesson features a colorful animated drawing and ongoing story that captures children’s attention and enables them to see their own faith journey mirrored in the adventures of “Mrs. Evans’” fictional OCIA (RCIA) class.

Breaking Open the Word can be used on its own or in combination with Liguori’s Journey of Faith OCIA (RCIA) program. Each reading is cross-referenced to a Journey of Faith lesson, enabling a Lectionary -based approach to catechesis for Christian initiation.

Christ’s Presence in the Eucharist
DEACON DENNIS LAMBERT
The teaching of Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist began with Jesus sharing with his apostles, followed by their education of early Church leaders, which extends to our priests and the Church of today. Throughout all of this time the baton never drops. The teaching has never changed from the original presentation of Jesus himself to the apostles gathered with him for the Last Supper.
A cradle Catholic and former skeptic himself, Deacon Dennis Lambert presents evidence to radically change, affirm, or deepen your belief in the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The book also provides a thought-provoking way to share the truth with others.

Liguori Publications is a ministry of the Redemptorists who have a special charism to help those who suffer with the affliction of scrupulosity. The author of these new titles, Rev. Thomas M. Santa, CSsR, is the priest/editor of the Scrupulous Anonymous newsletter, which is available free of charge. Please visit ScrupulousAnonymous.org for information.
REV. THOMAS M. SANTA, CSSR
This handbook of inspiration provides reflections and prayers to help fill some of the spiritual needs of those who suffer with the affliction of scrupulosity. Although each person is different, some experiences and feelings are common to the scrupulous affliction and some of these can create obstacles to prayer. By identifying these obstacles and presenting new perspectives, the author hopes to provide encouragement when and where it’s most needed.
The book can also offer guidance to those who, when it comes to prayer, simply, do not know what to say or do. Sometimes all that’s needed is a starter—a thought, a word, an experience. It is hoped that those who struggle with prayer can find that starter within these pages.

REV. THOMAS M. SANTA, CSSR
Many people at one time or another struggle with faith issues about sin, guilt, and punishment. Some, particularly Catholics, so fear offending God that they are unable to participate in daily life without experiencing severe doubt and anxiety. They do not see their faith as a source of peace; rather, their faith causes them to second-guess every decision they make. These people have scrupulosity, sometimes called the “doubting disease.”
Based on more than a half-century of questions and answers published in the Scrupulous Anonymous newsletter, Understanding Scrupulosity: Relief and Encouragement addresses concerns related to sin, thoughts, dreams, fantasies, and sexuality, as well as confession, self-worth, prayer, and God’s grace. The new fourth edition reflects the pastoral insight of Rev. Thomas M. Santa, CSsR, developed over many years serving as priest/ editor of the Scrupulous Anonymous newsletter, as well as advances made by researchers in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
