Parish-Wide Book Study

Are you looking for ways to build upon the initiatives implemented in your parish around the Eucharistic Revival? Do you want your parishioners to witness the Mass in a new light and deepen their experience of Eucharistic worship?
If you answered yes to either of those questions, hosting a parish-wide book study of Behold, Believe, Become is just what you need to meet those goals.

But, planning and implementing a parish-wide book study may feel like an overwhelming task. You might be asking yourself, “How can I possibly add one more task to my to-do list?”

We get it. We understand. We want to help. That’s why we created the Behold, Believe, Become Companion kit. This kit contains easy and doable step-by-step instructions to host a book study for your parish or group.

The companion kit provides simple steps to help you prepare, plan, and implement the book study, along with videos, a leader's guide, a small-group discussion guide, and marketing and promotional materials.

The Book

In Behold, Believe, Become, Timothy P. O’Malley, a distinguished leader in the Eucharistic Revival movement and bestselling author of Becoming Eucharistic People and Real Presence, shows you how to see differently—through newly formed habits of contemplation—fifteen ordinary, physical things that the Church uses at Mass to point us toward Christ. You will explore layers of meaning found in noble doors and stained-glass windows, sunlight and water, oil and fire, altars and church pews, and bread and wine become Body and Blood. O’Malley helps you see how each element tells us something about who Christ is and who we are to become as Christian people.

Inspired by the towering genius of the twentieth-century liturgical movement, Fr. Romano Guardini (1865–1968), O’Malley offers an unconventional walk through the Mass, highlighting that “matter matters.” This book doesn’t delve into the intricate history of Eucharistic Prayers or the doctrinal meaning of various words and actions. Instead, it provides a unique exploration of the material stuff of the Mass that we encounter from the time we enter the church until the time we depart at the end.

Whether you’re seeking personal growth or exploring this journey with a small group, Behold, Believe, Become is the perfect companion, providing brief online videos featuring Rachel and Jason Bulman of “Meet the Bulmans” and chapter-ending reflection questions to help connect your everyday life to the celebration of Mass. And for those craving a communal experience, a small-group leader’s guide and parish planning kit make this an invaluable resource for parishes, schools, and other Catholic communities.
