This comprehensive lectionary-based resource begins with the First Sunday of Advent 2004 and contains lectionary materials for Liturgical Year A Four pages for each Sunday and solemnity present the gospel and a reflection on it followed by a section containing key words and phrases from the gospel and ways to connect the reading with current life and the early Church.

Scripture, background, focus point, faith sharing questions, and notes for catechists and liturgists are included. A lectionary pronunciation guide and index of liturgical and biblical topics are included. This is an excellent source for parish liturgy committees and bible study groups.

The book is nice, but there are other sources which have been around for awhile which are just as good. The author talks of the Paschal Mystery...over and over and over. Granted, this is a part of our lives as Christians, but she didn't "invent" it. It just seems if you're not following her writing and theology, you're not being a good Catholic christian and don't know how to worship. However, I still use the book from time to time.
