What would you get if you combined the Lectionary with the
Catechism
of the Catholic Church?
If you're a catechist, a homilist, or an in-the-pew Catholic who's searching for a way to get more out of Sunday Mass ...
... this is the resource for you.
Opening the Scriptures is a one-of-a-kind book tailor-made for those who teach, those who preach, and those who continue to reach for a deeper understanding of the Word of God presented in the celebration of the Eucharist.
Opening the Scriptures takes the major themes of the
Catechism of the Catholic Church and identifies where in the three-year Lectionary cycle these principal teachings can be found. It then brings the two together in a way that allows us faithfully, authentically, and fruitfully to develop the seeds so richly found in the Scriptures, in a way that applies the lived teaching experience of two millennia....
- Most Rev. Donald W. Wuerl, S.T.D., Bishop of Pittsburg
Opening the Scriptures gives you:
a listing of the readings for every Sunday and holy day for Cycles A, B, and C.
themes for each of that day's readings.
reference numbers from the
Catechism of the Catholic Church relating to each day's themes.
a "reverse index": the numbers of the Catechism with a listing of the theme and the corresponding Sundays and holy days on which that theme is presented in the readings.
