Meditations On The Sunday Gospels

Meditations on the Sunday Gospels - Cycle A
$11.95
by John E. Rotelle, O.S.A. (ed.) The ‘Commentaries’ offered here are more than elucidations of the lectionary texts. Rather, they are meditations, mostly by well-known scholars and saints which bring out not just the original meaning of the texts as the sacred authors wrote them, but use the texts to confront us in the present with the very presence of God and his word. These reflections will serve primarily to quicken personal devotion and secondly to inspire the homilist in the public liturgy. A fine resource for both preachers and 'ponderers' of the Sunday readings. These collections serve both as a stimulant for personal prayer and as optional readings for public prayer celebrations. Drawn primarily from the works of twentieth-century spiritual writers, the collection complements the patristic writings included in the Liturgy of the Hours. Though cast in formal English that contemporary Christians will be able to identify with, the selections concentrate on the enduring aspects of the Paschal Mystery as it is celebrated throughout the church year. If read carefully and prayed sincerely, they should prove to be living words through which the Word of God is meditated into the minds and hearts of Christians today.

A superb homily preparation tool, this innovative approach to the Gospels of the Sundays of the B Cycle offers a series of short meditations.
