Liturgy Training Publications invites you to a new virtual formation opportunity, Living the Sunday Word: Reflecting as a Virtual Community.

As a community of disciples, we gather online to break open the richness of the Sunday lectionary readings. The introduction to the Lectionary for Mass (47) states that “God’s word is the food of Christian life and the source of the prayer of the whole Church” and the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (24) reminds us that “it is essential to promote [a] warm and living love for scripture.”

Sessions will be held on Thursday evenings from 6PM-7:30PM until November 19th, with a final session on Tuesday, November 24th.  Utilizing the interactive Adobe Connect platform, we will take time to reflect on the upcoming Sunday readings, helping us to more fully celebrate the Word at liturgy. Throughout each session, reflections will be presented by a team of pastoral ministers, and participants will be invited to share their own thoughts on the lectionary readings.

The lectionary readings unite believers around the world. Whether we are able to celebrate Eucharist with our parish families or not, we take comfort in the fact that we can still gather with fellow believers, be nourished by the Word, and be in the presence of one another virtually.

This virtual community is for all parishioners!
