While the historical books of the Bible recount God's creative and redemptive acts in history, the Psalms: The School of Prayer reveal Israel's response to God's covenant offer and serve s a model for our response to Him. Indeed, one could say the historical  books tell the "outside" of the story of  Israel by giving an historical perspective, while the Psalms tell the "inside" story, which comes from the deeply personal perspective of one who is seeking God. Our communication with God is enhanced by a deeper understanding of the book
of Psalms and of the individual psalms that reside in each of our hearts.

You Will:

• Discover a rich school of prayer for all life's circumstances.
• Experience the transforming power of the responsorial psalms in the Mass.
• Learn how to visualize the psalms in order to empower their meditation.
• Study the many ways the Psalms foretell the life and mission of Jesus.

As Catholics, the Mass is the center of our Faith. We celebrate it every day. We know all the responses. We know all the gestures. But do we know what it all means? In A Biblical Walk Through the Mass, Dr. Edward Sri takes us on a unique tour of the Liturgy. This book explores the biblical roots of the words and gestures we experience in the Liturgy and explains their profound significance, incorporating the revised Mass translation which will take effect Advent, 2011.

Participants in this study will come to know and understand the Mass like never before. They will see, perhaps for the first time, why they say what they say, and do what they do every week at Mass. The words and gestures will be seen in a new light, leading them to a richer, more fruitful worship experience.  Come and renew your faith and deepen your devotion to the Eucharist.

Dr. Edward Sri is a nationally-known Catholic speaker and the author of several best-selling books, including The New Rosary in Scripture and The Da Vinci Deception. He is provost and professor of theology and Scripture at the Augustine Institute and serves as a visiting professor at Benedictine College. Dr. Sri holds a doctorate from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. He resides with his wife, Elizabeth, and their five children in Littleton, Colorado.
