MISA,MESA,Y MUSA VOLUME 2 NOW AVAILABLE FROM WLP--GREAT RESOURCE FOR LEARNING ABOUT HISPANIC CULTURE AND RITUAL CELEBRATIONS.

FRANKLIN PARK, IL (FEBBUARY 13, 2008) - As a people, the Catholic Church is united by Christ, not by culture. Kenneth G. Davis explores and brings clarity and understanding of Hispanic culture, which is historically Catholic, and how Christ is manifested through its traditional forms of worship. Davis believes that when we discover this often unknown treasure, it is like discovering one particular hue in the rainbow that is waiting for us on the other end. The original edition of Misa, Mesa, y Musa was published ten years ago. It was a collection of the best writing in English about worship in Spanish. On its anniversary, this second volume includes new scholarship and writings published since then. Lay ecclesial ministers, permanent deacons, liturgists, and priests, along with those preparing for these roles, will find this book to be both accessible and pastoral. Misa, Mesa, y Musa Volume 2 is now available from WLP – World Library Publications.

“Many Hispanic ministers are overwhelmed because they not only need to do their ministry; they also need to create the tools required for that ministry. Latinos and Latinas, on the other hand, have to write and reproduce their own tools while at the same time putting them into practice in their ministry. It is twice the work,” says Davis. This book is an attempt to bring together the finest documents produced concerning liturgy, and make it available to a wider audience.

Both Hispanic and non-Hispanic ministers will find enlightenment in this book. Rev. Richard Vega, President of the National Federations of Priests’ Councils writes, “For those ministering within Hispanic communities, this book offers insight into traditions that Hispanics struggle to maintain and celebrate in this land of opportunity. For the Hispanic reader, it is an opportunity to recall the rhythm that grounds us as we seek the Lord in life’s simple moments.”

Misa, Mesa, y Musa Volume 2, WLP #012702, ISBN 978-1-58459-3768 ($14.95 paperback) is now available from WLP (www.wlpmusic.com) or call 1-800-566-6150. Also available to the trade through Ingram/Spring Arbor Distributors.
