Published: 2007-10-02

PORTLAND, Ore. (CNS) -- Hoping to fill a gap in worship resources available to Hispanic Catholics, OCP in Portland has published a new Spanish-language guide to prayer and the daily Lectionary readings called "Palabra, Vida y Fe" ("Word, Life and Faith"). Published twice a year, the book includes Scripture readings, reflections, saints' profiles and more for every day of the week. The second edition, available now, covers July through December 2007. "Catholic bookstores are packed with missals and weekly devotionals in English, but very few such resources exist in Spanish," said Pedro Rubalcava, director of Hispanic ministries at OCP. "Of the few available, none covers half the year in one book, or contains extensive catechetical and prayer sections like the ones in 'Palabra, Vida y Fe.'" More information about "Palabra, Vida y Fe" is available on the Web site www.ocp.org, or by calling (800) 548-8749.
