Description This is the publication we recommend for parishes wanting to help the faithful understand the changes to the Lectionary. The new Lectionary for England & Wales and Scotland is a sign of the Bishops’ desire to provide the Catholic faithful access to a reliable and contemporary version of Scripture, to enable their ongoing liturgical encounter with the Word of God and thus help us all become “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that [we] may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called [us] out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Pt 2:9). This book, by Bishop Hugh Gilbert, OSB, provides some further explanation of this decision and answer the questions that have arisen. • Why a new Lectionary? • What is a Lectionary? • What is the Liturgy of the Word? • Why this version of Scripture? And why this new version of the Psalms? • What is done in other parts of the Catholic world? • What will it ask of us and what will it bring us?
