The Divine Word: The Liturgical Weekly Bible Study on the Sunday Mass Readings

Do you truly listen when God speaks at Mass?

The Divine Word: The Liturgical Weekly Bible Study on the Sunday Mass Readings (Year C) by Rev. Leon Ngandu, SVD, invites Catholics to rediscover the liturgy of the Word as a sacred prayer, not just a prelude to the Eucharist. Designed as a practical and reflective Catholic Bible study workbook, this guide helps readers prepare spiritually and intellectually before Sunday Mass by studying the Sunday Mass readings in depth.

Many faithful struggle to fully engage in Mass because the liturgical Scriptures and homilies feel difficult to understand. Fr. Ngandu addresses this challenge by offering a structured path rooted in Lectio Divina, pastoral application, and theological insight. This book unpacks the Gospel readings from Advent through the 8th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C), helping individuals and Bible study groups reflect, share, and pray with Scripture ahead of each Sunday.

This is not just a Bible study workbook. It is a spiritual formation tool that reveals how both the liturgy of the Word and the liturgy of the Eucharist form a single, sacred act of worship. When we understand God's Word, we can respond to it with intention, reverence, and deeper participation in the Mass.

Perfect for use in Catholic parishes, small group ministry, faith formation programs, or personal spiritual growth, The Divine Word empowers the faithful to hear Christ's voice more clearly and enter Mass with open hearts and prepared minds.

Join this weekly journey through the Word and elevate your experience of the Eucharist.
