Table Talk, Year A: Beginning the Conversation on the Gospel of Matthew

Based on his own journeys as a writer, teacher and disciple through the lectionary and his 20-plus years of experience as the editor of Connections, Jay Cormier's helpful reflections will spark the Sunday conversation around the parish table about the Gospel of Matthew. It will serve the needs of many who seek to open up this Gospel -- the homilist, the catechist, the RCIA team, or individual disciples looking for a companion on their day-to-day journey to Emmaus. Cormier follows the pericopes of both the Roman Catholic lectionary and the common lectionary used by many Protestant churches.

Jay Cormier, author of seven other books on prayer and scripture, is editor of Connections, a newsletter of ideas and resources for homilists. He lives in New Hampshire.
