The Sacramental Life
Joanmarie Smith, Professor of Pastoral Theology at the Methodist Theological School in Ohio, provides an approach to viewing the ministry of teaching within the context of the sacramental life. Using five phrases from the Great Thanksgiving of the Eucharist, she takes the physical acts of "take, thank, bless, break, give" and translates those into a sacramental perspective on ministry. While targeted primarily to teachers and catechists, this book is valuable for all who wish to approach their ministry and their lives sacramentally.

Take, Thank, Bless, Break, Give
In her book, Sister Joanmarie Smith, CSJ, imposes the Eucharistic actions of take, thank, bless, break, and give onto the teaching task. She then goes a step further by encouraging the reader to look at her/his life roles as actions contained in the Eucharist. As a result of reading Sister Joanmarie's book, the reader comes away with an increased self-awareness of the interconnectedness of Eucharist and our daily lives. If you are seeking spiritual growth and personal understanding of the implications of the Eucharist in your life, this book is highly recommended.
