When we share the Word of God in Liturgy, we believe that we encounter Christ, just as surely as we encounter him in the sacrament of the Eucharist. What You Should Know About the Word of the Lord is a clear, detailed, easy-to-understand explanation of the Liturgy of the Word.

Beginning with an exploration of the roots and structure of the Liturgy of the Word, Sister Charlene explains how Scripture is presented to us throughout the liturgical year. Along with a summary of each book of the Bible, Sister Charlene offers ways to creatively experience the lectionary readings and the homily, showing us how we can take this experience into our daily life and prayer, further enriching our experience of Christ in the worshiping community.
