Fr. Leon Ngandu realized a critical need to evangelize God’s people about the prayerful character of the first part of the Mass, the liturgy of the Word of God. Many faithful do not attend Mass actively, intentionally, and prayerfully because they do not comprehend the Scriptures proclaimed at Mass and the homilies that discuss them. For them, the Bible is difficult to read, listen to, interpret, and understand. It is imperative to recognize that both parts of the Mass, the liturgy of the Word of God and the liturgy of the Eucharist, are intricately connected. We cannot fully engage in one if we neglect the other. This means we cannot truly participate with Jesus at the Eucharistic Table if we do not listen to and understand him when he speaks to us at the Table of God’s Word. The liturgy of the Word is not just a part of the Mass; it is a prayerful encounter with God. Therefore, a profound understanding of the liturgical Scriptures is essential for the faithful to participate reverently in the liturgy of the Mass. This Liturgical Weekly Bible Study Workbook is a solution, as it aims to help the faithful become familiar with the liturgical scripture readings before they attend each Sunday Mass.

Bread of Life, Cup of Salvation is an invitation to a deeper appreciation for the celebration of the Mass and a greater conviction of its importance for our ordinary living-out of Christian faith in daily life. Taking into account the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the new edition of the General Instruction on the Roman Missal, Fr. John Baldovin, S.J., centers his lucid commentary on the Mass around the most recent official documents and provides an up-to-date survey of the historical development of the Mass from the New Testament to the present. Clear, concise, and accessible, Bread of Life, Cup of Salvation is an informative and powerful reflection on the meaning of the Eucharist for us today. This book responds to questions such as What are the orgins of the Mass? How did the Mass develop into what we know today? Why do we have several readings from Scripture at every Mass? Why do we always read a passage from the Gospels last? Why is the Eucharistic Prayer called the center and highpoint of the celebration of the Eucharist? What difference does it make if communion is distributed from the tabernacle or consecrated at the Mass at which people are receiving? Why do we have more than one Eucharistic Prayer? Is it important that people are offered communion in both kinds--the Body and the Blood of Christ? Why did the Mass get its popular name from the dismissal (missa)? Why was it important to recover the exchange of peace?

Anyone called upon to read from the Lectionary at Mass will appreciate LTP’s Pronunciation Guide for the Lectionary. Like the first edition, it includes words from the full Lectionary for Mass-- Sundays, weekdays, ritual, and votive Masses. But LTP has added to this second edition the names of recently canonized saints for the United States and Canada and additional words suggested by readers. The easy-to-understand pronunciation aids have been updated. This resource will enrich anyone who reads, studies, and prays the Scriptures privately, but it will be especially helpful to liturgical ministers who proclaim the Word in the liturgy: readers, deacons, priests, and masters of ceremony. Knowing how to pronounce the words gives readers the confidence and freedom to be fully present to their ministries—to be a clear channel for God’s Word to the assembly. Although readers who proclaim at Sunday Masses are usually assigned far ahead and expected to prepare their proclamations, weekday readers sometimes have less time to prepare. To make things more challenging, weekday readings often include difficult place names and personal names. Providing a copy of Pronunciation Guide for the Lectionary in the sacristy could be a great service to weekday readers—and to everyone else. Those who lead Bible study groups in parishes would also find this guide invaluable. Anyone who loves to read and discuss Scripture will want a copy handy at home.
