Book excerpt: The Word of the Lord at Mass: Understanding the Lectionary is an inviting introduction to the book from which Catholics hear Scripture proclaimed throughout the year. It explains what a Lectionary is, how it developed over time, how our current Lectionary grew out of the Second Vatican Council and differs from previous ones, and how, in harmony with the liturgical year, it presents Bible selections that unfold Christ’s Paschal Mystery. This book will enrich liturgical ministers and anyone interested in the role of the Bible in Catholic life.
