For the word services on all Sundays and holidays during the Advent and Christmas season in the three reading years, this book provides all the texts that the leader of the service speaks from the Sedile or the Ambo: - Introduction - Kyrie calls - Opening prayer - Intercessions - Communion meditation - Closing prayer. The texts are characterized by a modern language appropriate to the liturgical occasion. Thematically, they relate to the respective readings, especially the Gospel. Great emphasis has been placed on the liturgical-theological coherence of the texts. The models in this beautifully designed book are suitable for both the word service of the Mass and for priestless word services. They can be used directly as templates or inspire one's own service preparation.
