ISBN 9781579992095. Text by Gilbert Ostdiek.

Focusing on the lives of saints and other holy people, Journey of the Sacred is a series of books and music created to guide members of small faith communities on their own sacred journeys. Unlike many other guides of this kind, Journey of the Sacred incorporates music into each session with a pre-recorded CD for singing along to chosen hymns and songs. Each journey offers six sessions consisting of prayer, Scripture, writings by the particular saint or holy person, reflection, silence, sharing, and an experience by a modern-day person that ties into the session's theme. Each session also allows for a going forth in action for the group or individual. One book is needed for each member of the small faith community. One CD is needed for the entire group. Although created for small group sessions, this series also may be used for individual meditation. Journeys may be used in any order. Rosemary Bleuher is Associate Director for Adult Formation for the Diocese of Joliet, Illinois and is known nationally for her work in small faith communities. Denise La Giglia is a spiritual director, musician, and recording artist from the Chicago area. Rev. Dennis Paul is a priest of the diocese of Joliet and ministers at St. Mary Nativity. Robert Piercy is the Catechetical Coordinator for GIA Publications, Inc. .

Contemporary Christian song by Amy Grant & Chris Eaton
Amy Grant's poignant and haunting contemporary Christmas classic has been set for 3-7 octaves of handbells and optional handchimes. The opening suspended mallets create an ethereal backdrop for this well-known text which shares the inner voice of Mary as she journeys to Bethlehem to give birth to the Christ child. Her conversation with God reveals her fears and confusion as she cries out for God to be with me now. The quiet and subtle closing provides a sense of resolve as Mary accepts her task and trust in her Lord.
