A Catechumen's Companion: A Guide to Praying With the Lectionary

In this work are reflections on the new updated Sunday readings, suggestions for prayer, and suggestions for journal keeping, which are particularly helpful in allowing one to "see patterns of growth or persistent calls to change." These helpful exercises are designed, explain editors Hamma and Crilly, to help you pray, whether you are a beginner or more experienced. This is a book that every new catechumen will want to own and that catechumenate directors and sponsors will want to recommend to those engaged in this important journey on the road of faith. It will be of interest to all Christians who wish to explore new and varied ways of praying with the Sunday readings. Includes all three lectionary cycles. †

Robert M. Hamma is the author of numerous books and articles on spirituality and family life, and edited the bestselling A Catechumen's Lectionary.
