Author Description

In the Sunday readings we hear the word of God every week, and this word leads us to the table where we receive the body and blood of Christ. That word of God takes root in us and forms our lives far better when we spend time with it-listening, pondering, and praying. At Home with the Word® was designed to help Catholics do just that. Everything else in the liturgy takes on new meaning when we spend time with Scripture because so many of the words and symbols of the Mass comes come from it. At Home with the Word® Large Print Edition is your clear, readable guide to a deeper understanding of the Sunday Scriptures. It provides the readings for this liturgical year, along with insights from Scripture scholars, and action steps. (Additional action steps for families with children, RCIA, and small faith groups may be downloaded from the LTP Website.) Also includes prayers, citations for weekday readings, and other resources for Scripture study. This year features catechesis on the revised Roman Missal, which we will begin to pray the First Sunday of Advent. Whether you use this resource alone or in a group, it will deepen your experience of the liturgy and help you to feel ever more at home with the Word of God.
