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 come from it At Home with the Word is your guide to a deeper understanding of the Sunday Scriptures. It provides the readings for this liturgical year, insights from Scripture scholars, and action steps. (Additional reflection questions and action steps for families with children, RCIA, and small faith groups may be downloaded from the LTP Website.) Also includes seasonal prayers, citations for weekday readings, and other resources for Scripture study. 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.
