We are so moved and formed and challenged that it is difficult, perhaps even impossible, to forget the sacred treasures contained within. GIA\u2019s&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.giamusic.com\/store\/resource\/of-womb-and-tomb-book-g9816\">Of Womb and Tomb&nbsp;<\/a><\/em>is exactly that resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Masterfully edited by Kate Williams,&nbsp;<em>Of Womb and Tomb<\/em>:&nbsp;<em>Prayer in Time of Infertility, Miscarriage, and Stillbirth&nbsp;<\/em>is more than a simple compilation of prayers. As the Foreword suggests, we can and must do better in our parish ministries to acknowledge these types of loss and walk with our sisters and brothers who live these realities. Five sacred stories at the beginning of the collection ground the work in this lived experience before offering an assortment of comforting prayers, hymns, poems, and scripture. Resources for both personal reflection and liturgical prayer give individuals, couples, families, and entire communities words to pray at times when finding words might be difficult. Four rites, ranging from a Blessing of Parents after a Miscarriage to an Evening Liturgy of the Word and Ritual of Light, provide everything needed for a complete service of prayer. A corresponding audio CD and music collection supplement the written text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Of Womb and Tomb&nbsp;<\/em>is a welcome gift to all who work to articulate, facilitate and live authentic liturgy, giving voice and body to an often silent and invisible reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book review of &#8220;Of Womb and Tomb&#8221;
