This is the last volume in the set for Ordinary Time in the
Christian Year and it completes a series of meditations for the
whole year. For the weekday readings at Mass there is a two-year
cycle. Over the two years there is a different first reading from
the Scriptures whilst both years share the same Gospel readings. On
Sundays there is a three-year cycle with the Gospel readings taken
from Matthew, Mark, and Luke respectively.
One of the ways we grow in our faith is by knowing the
Scriptures well. Even if we do not attend Mass daily we can always
meditate on the set readings. When we do this it will lead us into
parts of our Bible that hitherto we may not have ventured. If
digested properly they will undoubtedly prompt questions and raise
topics for prayer and further research. This book is designed to
help you to understand your Bible better and how it unveils the
work of salvation by our loving God, beginning with the call of
Abraham and His relationship with His chosen people. When the time
was right God sent His Son into the world to continue God's
redeeming love for all creation.
So the Old Testament prepared the way for the coming of the
Christ that is recorded in the New Testament. It is this part of
the Bible that is particularly interesting for Christians today as
it gives insight as to how those first Christians came to believe
in Jesus as their Saviour and were baptised into His death. It also
reveals many of the problems that beset the first Christians over
morality, worship, and obligations. These are still relevant today.
Thus we need to heed the advice of Paul and other Christian writers
of the first century in how we live out the teachings of
Christ.
