Welcoming the Word in Year C | With Burning Hearts - US Edition

In this volume of weekly reflections on the Sunday Lectionary of Year C, Australian Good Samaritan sister Verna Holyhead moves deftly between the Old and New Testament readings providing theological context and tying the texts to contemporary concerns. Rich in references to poetry and history, these reflections are infused with the Rule of St Benedict, which invites Christians to take the two testaments as ‘the truest guides for human life’. The supplementary series of conversations between the Liturgy of the Word and the Rule extend the weekly reflection. A sourcebook for pastoral ministry or a reference for personal or communal reflection, this volume will assist believes who desire to engage more deeply with the Word.
