Book excerpt: To help us better understand the Sunday and weekday Gospel readings, David Knight has collected his reflections for the lectionary year B in this handy book. Each brief reflection is based on the Gospel of the particular Sunday or weekday. For each weekday, the author has chosen one line from the day's Gospel and offered one question to stimulate reflection. To help us integrate the Gospel into our daily lives, Knight provides in a section called "Living This Week's Gospel" five suggested responses we can make to the Sunday Gospel each week. He bases his suggestions on five words which summarize our identity as Christians: Christian, disciple, prophet, priest and king. Finally, Knight adds a prayer that we can say each day all week, asking for the grace to live by the values proposed in the Sunday reflection.

Download or read book Reflections on the Sunday Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope Francis illuminates a new, vibrant way of experiencing the Gospel through moving, intimate, and deeply meditative reflections that encourage us to live fully with meaning, purpose, and strength. We live in an unprecedented time that has threatened to upend our daily rhythms, our work, our homes, even our faith. More than ever, we need books like Reflections on the Sunday Gospel to stir us to hope, to comfort, to peace. We need to remember what we live for and how good God is. These reflections—published in English for the first time, drawn both from homilies given by Pope Francis and readings from the Fathers of the Church, including Saint Augustine, Saint Jerome, and Saint Ambrose—do more than offer a way to enter into the liturgical year with weekly readings to enrich your devotional time. They offer Christ, and the power of His resurrection. They offer His words of assurance: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33, ESV). Ultimately, as Pope Francis guides us through these timeless words, we will glean how even the giants of the faith needed God as much as we do, and how we can draw near to a good and faithful God no matter where we are or what season we’re in.

Book excerpt: "The Second Vatican Council called the Bible 'the food of the soul.' Yet, for many Catholics, their engagement with Scripture is often limited to what they hear at Mass--and the dull, safe, predictable homilies that obscure rather than break open up the Word of God. In Food for the Soul, a riveting three-part series, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft invites the faithful—clergy and laity alike—to a heart-to-heart relationship with Christ the Word through the Word of the Scriptures." --
