Word and Sacrament. This is the food that sustains us here on our pilgrimage to heaven. The Word of God and the Sacrament of the altar this is our daily bread. What greater gift could we ask for than to hear the Word of God proclaimed and receive our Lord each day at holy Mass? This is the foundation of our faith; here is the paragon of prayer which strengthens us for our work in this world. In this writing the author has sought to allow the Scripture readings for each Mass (and all Masses of the liturgical calendar are covered: all Sundays and weekdays of Ordinary Time, Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter seasons, as well as Solemnities and Feasts) speak for themselves. This is evident in his extensive quoting and paraphrasing of the Word, but perhaps more significantly in his taking as his guiding principle the Lords instruction not to consider beforehand what to say when brought to bear witness to Him (see Mk.13:11). After reading the Scriptures for the day three times (before dawn), Mr. Kurt let the Spirit direct him writing without revision, trusting entirely in the Lord. Thus describing spiritual realities in spiritual terms (1Cor.2:13), the message and tone of the writing reflect that of the readings themselves; the work is therefore termed an exposition of the readings of Catholic Mass. This book has received an imprimatur from the Most Reverend John J. Meyers, J.C.D., D.D., Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey. Authors Website: www.writingsofjameskurt.org

James Kurt lives much as a hermit in the city Jersey City, New Jersey. He spends about six hours a day in prayer, including Catholic Mass, Liturgy of the Hours, full Rosary, Stations of the Cross, meditation on Scripture and the writings of the saints, and silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. He works another five or six hours on his writing. A website (see back of book) contains the forty-plus Catholic Christian writings he has composed over the past twenty years. Mr. Kurt also serves as an adjunct ESL instructor one day a week at a local university to support his vocation.

The author has recently published three other books with AuthorHouse: silence in the city, a series of contemplative poems on the presence of God in all places; Songs for Children of Light Ten Albums of Lyrics, a white on black conceptual work with simple drawings for each song; and Turn of the Jubilee Year: A Conversion Song, an autobiographical prose depiction of vocation search through pilgrimage to Medugorje and stays at a hermitage or two.

He is currently preparing two other volumes for publication: YHWH: On the Divine NAME and The Cross, as well as a third The Will to Love (and other writings of the Spirit).
