Mystagogical Reflection Resources

The Ongoing Professional Growth Series, Teach Like a Mystagogue presented by Mary Birmingham and Nick Wagner helped us to prepare, celebrate and make liturgy matter.  An important skill of liturgical catechesis is the ability to lead a mystagagogical reflection process.  Diana Macalintal wrote an article that explains the steps for mystagogical reflection.  She entitled it, " Mystagogy My Mother Could Do."  It has five easy steps to follow.  She also created a chart that illustrates these steps.  I encourage you to meet with your catechists and small group facilitators and train them in the mystagogical reflection process.  Put the five steps on an index card as a handy reminder for them.  Mystagogical reflection leads to conversion and renewal of the liturgy.
