What if ten minutes a week could help you experience Sunday Mass more fully and deepen your love of the Word of God?
"Bible Geek" Mark Hart makes that possible with One Sunday at a Time, the essential companion to the Sunday readings and the ideal resource for busy Catholics who want to get more out of Mass.
After almost thirty years in ministry, Hart says he hears two questions most often: "How do I get more out of Mass?" and "Where do I start?"
His response? Begin with what you're already doing--going to Mass. You'll understand the Bible better and receive God's grace, and the liturgy will come to life for you in a whole new way.
Whether you're a busy parent, a convert to Catholicism, or a regular communicant, One Sunday at a Time can enrich your experience of the Mass and draw you more deeply into the world of scripture and the rhythms of the liturgical year.
This essential companion to the Sunday readings includes everything you need to reflect on and live out the Word of God:
- Brief summaries of the Sunday Mass readings for cycle C as well as major feasts and solemnities.
- Engaging reflections that draw your attention to a primary theme and to common threads between the readings for that week.
- Studies of key Greek and Hebrew words in the biblical text.
- Fun facts and useful background information about the biblical world and the broader cultural context.
One Sunday at a Time also includes prayers and a weekly challenge to help you incorporate the message of the Sunday readings into your daily life. The extra-wide margins are perfect for notetaking.
This beautiful full-color book is perfect for use by individuals, families, RCIA/OCIA classes, and small groups.
