The Divine Word: The Liturgical Weekly Bible Study on the Sunday Mass Readings (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798369430606)

Fr. Leon Ngandu realized a critical need to evangelize God's people about the prayerful character of the first part of the Mass, the liturgy of the Word of God. Many faithful do not attend Mass actively, intentionally, and prayerfully because they do not comprehend the Scriptures proclaimed at Mass and the homilies that discuss them. For them, the Bible is difficult to read, listen to, interpret, and understand. It is imperative to recognize that both parts of the Mass, the liturgy of the Word of God and the liturgy of the Eucharist, are intricately connected. We cannot fully engage in one if we neglect the other. This means we cannot truly participate with Jesus at the Eucharistic Table if we do not listen to and understand him when he speaks to us at the Table of God's Word. The liturgy of the Word is not just a part of the Mass; it is a prayerful encounter with God. Therefore, a profound understanding of the liturgical Scriptures is essential for the faithful to participate reverently in the liturgy of the Mass. This Liturgical Weekly Bible Study Workbook is a solution, as it aims to help the faithful become familiar with the liturgical scripture readings before they attend each Sunday Mass.
