The Liturgy of the Word: Commentary on the Gospel Readings Sundays and Feasts of Year C (Luke)

These COMMENTARIES ON THE PASSAGES OF THE GOSPELS WE READ ON SUNDAYS AND FEASTS DAYS —originally published in Italian in the collection “Bibbia e preghiera” and re-edited several times by the Apostolato della preghiera in Rome —, are intended primarily to help the readers to listen to the Gospel and understand it. Close to the IGNATIAN METHOD OF SCRIPTURE READING, they highlight essential content of its message and offer stimulation for meditation and prayer. Questions placed at the end of each commentary as starting points for reflection. By centering the attention on some main points, these commentaries can guide the reader as he penetrates the message of the Gospel and progressively enters into a more intimate relationship with the Word of God. -- Fr. Klemens Stock S.J., former secretary of the Pontifical Biblical Commission and professor emeritus of New Testament exegesis at the Pontifical Biblical Institute, RomeRead more
