Familiarity often breeds contempt… or at least boredom, and the readings for Sundays and feast days in the church calendar are familiar. So how can we keep the transforming word of God from lulling our minds and hearts like a warm bath, having little or no effect to encourage us to drift into daydream? One answer is to listen, and that is what this book is about: preparing to listen. For only if we have been mulling the words of Scripture for a while, allowing them to seep into our subconscious, can we be fully attentive when we hear them again at Mass. Another answer is to read the passages we are about to hear in a new and different language, one that forces us to sit up and take notice and think, ôOh, thatÆs what the author was trying to say." And a third answer is to get ourselves a guide to the text, someone who has studied the Bible and spent her professional lifetime trying to navigate and explain it. This transforming Word offers all three: Preparation new translation and an experienced guide. Alice Camille is a serious student and award-winning writer on the Scripture who makes God's word come alive in new and exciting ways. The Message: Catholic/Ecumenical Edition is a fresh, contemporary, compelling, and faith-filled American English translation from the ancient languages by Eugene Peterson, with the additional Deuterocanonical writings translated by William Griffin. And the preparation will be done by you, whether you are lay or ordained homilist or member of the congregation, Bible expert or neophyte. This volume contains all the readings in the Roman Catholic Lectionary for Cycle C. through 2025. Companion volumes are available for Cycles A and B. Book jacket.

Full of gripping illustrations that bring the scriptures to life, this anthology includes sermons for each Sunday and major celebration throughout the Christian year based on the First Readings from Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary. The powerful messages from preachers across the denominational spectrum interpret texts from the Old Testament and Acts in fresh ways that proclaim the good news for the twenty-first century. Building upon stories in which God moves ordinary people to extraordinary heights, these sermons combine creative imagination with abundant insight into vital current issues to transform our human despair into trust in the Lord's divine providence. This is an essential resource that's useful for: - Fresh homiletical approaches to the lectionary texts - Preaching illustrations - A clearer understanding of scripture passages - Adult study and discussion groups - Personal devotions and Bible study on each Sunday's texts Alan Stewart has prepared a creative, thoughtful, relevant, and positive series of messages that will bless all of those who use them. He has certainly caught the spirit and reality of the positive perception of what "church is supposed to be." Robert H. Schuller Pastor, The Crystal Cathedral Garden Grove, California Timothy Smith's sermons lift up the common humanity that inhabits both the Hebrew scriptures and modern culture, and point the hearer to the God who is active in both as Judge and Redeemer. They reflect a pastor's sensitivity to men and women who are so enmeshed in webs of their own weaving that they have lost all hope of release and who are amazed when God breaks through. Kendall K. McCabe Vice President for Academic Affairs, Professor of Homiletics and Worship United Theological Seminary
