Description:
Bishop Hugh Gilbert, OSB, provides further explanation of the Bishops’ desire to provide the Catholic faithful access to a reliable and contemporary version of Scripture through which to hear the Word of God proclaimed in the Mass, offering answers to the questions that have arisen.
This is the publication we recommend for parishes wanting to help the faithful understand the changes to the Lectionary.
 
The new Lectionary for England & Wales and Scotland is a sign of the Bishops’ desire to provide the Catholic faithful access to a reliable and contemporary version of Scripture, to enable their ongoing liturgical encounter with the Word of God and thus help us all become “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that [we] may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called [us] out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Pt 2:9).
 
This book, by Bishop Hugh Gilbert, OSB, provides some further explanation of this decision and answer the questions that have arisen.

• Why a new Lectionary?

• What is a Lectionary?

• What is the Liturgy of the Word?

• Why this version of Scripture? And why this new version of the Psalms?

• What is done in other parts of the Catholic world?

• What will it ask of us and what will it bring us?
