Table Talk: Beginning the Conversation on the Gospel of Mark (Year B) - Softcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

"This prolific author whose books have been an excellent resource for homilists has broadened his intended audience for this latest book to include others around the parish 'table.' These inspirations for conversations on the Sunday readings from Mark's Gospel (year B) are intended also for catechists, RCIA teams, and other individuals looking for a more complete connection with the words of Mark's Gospel. The references to the Biblical readings to be read throughout the liturgical year are applicable to the common lectionary of many Protestant churches as well as the Roman Lectionary. Cormier's meditations include references to life stories, literary quotes, and things he has seen and read in daily life to which he shows a particular awareness of our Christian mission. His book begins with Advent (the beginning of the Church Year), Christmas, Lent, The Easter Triduum, Easter, and then the Sundays of Ordinary Time. Each conversation starter is brief -- two or three pages -- and is followed by a delightful original prayer. Table Talk offers something to get us started to talk about, think about, and act on from the Gospel reading we have just heard proclaimed. Cormier ends his book with notes, which really are the sources for some of the stories he has used. He had drawn from a wide range of sources in this creative collection of conversations started for making Mark's words our own. The book is recommended to all those cited above and should find a place in parish libraries." - Arnold Rzepecki, Catholic Library World
