We are called not only to hear the Word of God but to act on that Word. Verna Holyhead's reflections shed light on what it means to be human, to be people of God in today's world. Using Scripture, poetry and history, these meditations move readers beyond a static understanding of the weekly readings to an appreciation for how the readings impact and reflect their lives. Drawing on the Rule of St Benedict and the Benedictine tradition the reflections provide another way by which believers may contemplate the Liturgy of the Word.
As a sourcebook for pastoral ministry or a reference for personal or communal reflection, this volume will assist believers who desire to engage more deeply with the Word.
