Those points exemplify O’Shea’s marriage of two core components of reality—Revelation and Reason—as he synthesizes Montessori methods, philosophical realism, and Christian theology. E., precede a comprehensive survey of the magisterium on these matters that I am pleased to say I commissioned when Gerard was working for Parramatta! Mystagogy is the process whereby we start with a particular aspect of the Liturgy and find how it might be linked to some part of the Bible. Drawing on ideas from Maria Montessori and Sofia Cavalletti, it explains how to hand on the faith at different stages of a child's development.I discovered the greater, unexpected bounty in O’Shea’s chapters on the cultural and constructive periods. Which is why Professor O’Shea begins his book, as any good Thomist would, by considering the ultimate goal of human life and of Catholic education. Each time we participate in Mass, we have the opportunity to encounter the Lord Jesus in the most intimate way through the reception of Holy Communion. Scripture is viewed as truly the Word of God – when we hear the words of Scripture, it is God who is speaking.

To support the study, theories were proposed concerning teaching competencies, doctrines, prayer, Holy Eucharist, and students' understanding. Thus thirteen of our eighteen chapters and appendices address the ‘grand big mac’ picture of religious education, before we come to considering contemporary learning theory and teaching practice, and are offered the author’s ‘liturgical spiral curriculum’ with its ‘mystagogical catechesis methodology’.

This article is part of a 3-year series dedicated to promoting the efforts of the National Eucharistic Revival in the United States. Anglo-Catholics and Roman Catholics may uneasily sit side-by-side, yet those and other Christians can derive wisdom from O’Shea’s educational framework, one attuned to our senses and how they provide the material for fides et ratio.
