Sourcebook for Sundays, Seasons, and Weekdays 2010: is your essential and trusted resource for preparing the liturgy for all seasons of the liturgical year, each Sunday, solemnity, feast, memorial, optional memorial, and seasonal weekday!   This year's book is for Year C, Weekday Year II.  It begins with November 29, 2009, the First Sunday of Advent, and continues through November 27, 2010, the last day of Ordinary Time.

It is organized in two user-friendly sections: The Season and The Calendar.   You will learn more about the meaning of the season, the saints who are honored, the liturgical books, the liturgical environment, the liturgical music, and how to bring the liturgy into your homes in the season section.  The Calendar section is a straightforward almanac, and the only resource, which consistently provides pastoral reflections and ideas for each day of the liturgical year.

This book also includes:

• Reflections on the Gospel for Year C
• Notes on preparing for Mass, receiving sacraments, celebrating the Liturgy of the Hours
