Scripture Backgrounds for the Sunday Lectionary, Year A
Description
This resource provides invaluable commentary on the Lectionary readings for Year A (including the Responsorial Psalm) for Sundays, holy days of obligation, and feasts and solemnities that may occur on a Sunday. Written in a pastoral tone, it offers historical-critical background on each of the readings and underscores their relevance to life today. Thematically related quotations from major Church documents are included with each Scripture background to provide context and connections to Church teaching. Organized by the liturgical calendar, each season of readings begins with an overview of the season and a brief look at where the readings come from and any unifying messages or themes present throughout the selected readings. Scripture Backgrounds for the Sunday Lectionary, Year A is written by a team of writers with a broad range of theological, pastoral, and catechetical experience. Their reflections offer homilists a solid foundation from which to begin the process of preparing to speak the Word of God to their assemblies.
Mary A. Ehle, Peg Ekerdt, Jean Marie Hiesberger, Biagio Mazza, Mary M. Mcglone, csj, Abbot Gregory J. Polan, osb, Denise Simeone, George Smiga, and Paul Turner contributed to this resource.
