In these reflections for the Sundays of Year A, renowned lectio divina scholar, Michel de Verteuil, offers his thoughts on the readings for that day.

Each gospel extract from Matthew is accompanied by two points: an introduction which should help to make it relevant to the intentions for today, and an associated prayer, which will also assist those who would like to move to further prayer.

The main purpose of the book is to help the reader enter into the readings of the lectionary. In this way these will become more personal and they will also be geared to the problems of our day.

This book is addressed to people who follow the Sunday lectionary and
would like them to become more personal. Fr de Verteuil links these to a wider Catholic spirituality, in the hope that they will lead the reader to personal spiritual prayer.
