Living Liturgy 2027

Available July of 2026

Living Liturgy™ 2027 is your go-to resource for supporting the spirituality of all engaged in liturgical ministry. This bestselling resource provides liturgists, liturgical ministers, priests, deacons, planning committees, and adult faith formation groups with an indispensable resource for liturgical preparation, spiritual formation, and liturgical catechesis to transform ministries and hearts.

Living Liturgy:

• presents a rich pathway for lectio divina, centered in each liturgy’s Gospel while also making connections between the lectionary and living the paschal mystery;
• offers priests and deacons inspiration for preparing to preach each week;
• helps lectors and music ministers to grow in proclaiming God’s word;
• strengthens all liturgical ministers for their important roles on behalf of the entire parish community.

Parishes who use Living Liturgy consistently benefit not only from sample liturgical texts (e.g., Model Penitential Act, Model Universal Prayer) but also from robust liturgical formation, contextual background information for Sundays, solemnities, and liturgical celebrations, and opportunities to explore the connections between liturgy and life. This beautifully designed resource with new art by award-winning artist Br. Martin Erspamer, OSB, is now in an easily portable format perfect for ministers and leaders on the go.

Catechumens, candidates, and sponsors use Living Liturgy™ to support and deepen their liturgical journey within the RCIA.
