The Year with Matthew

Welcome to this prayer/study guide for the Year with Matthew. This book provides an opportunity for personal prayer, spiritual meditation, group sharing and inspiration for Gospel inspired action. The primary purpose of this guide is to use Sunday church liturgy readings to assist in personal faith development. In these biblical readings are God's message of eternal love and exhortation to love others and all creation. In addition, a group gathered to pray and study God's revealed Word will discover in these pages a helpful aid for bible sharing and spiritual growth in a community setting. All are strongly encouraged to focus on the virtues of faith, hope and love and the bounty of the transcendent God in their lives. This prayer/study guide is the sixth in the series, Good News for Our Days. Individuals and groups have found the first five study guides a valuable resource as the message of everlasting life in the Realm of God unfolds in its splendor. God, who is love, reveals a New Covenant with humankind based on relationships of faith, hope and universal love.
