Countless are the occasions for those who are involved in pastoral ministry to be called upon to say a few words of hope and encouragement, congratulations and praise: Baptism, Confirmation, First Holy Communion, Reconciliation for Children and Adults, Religious Education, Graduation, Youth Days, Vocation Days, Weddings and Their Anniversaries, Ordinations and Jubilees, the Commissioning of Lay Ministers, Holidays and Saints' Days, Special
Feasts, Ecumenical Gatherings, Healing Services, Mission Sundays and Funerals, to mention just a few. Father Buetow, with the aid of little stories and practical examples from real life, has put together an extraordinary collection of reflections to hallow these special occasions. There is much in this book to feed the spirit and bring
inspiration and comfort to many.
