Light of the Word: Brief Reflections on the Sunday Readings

This book seeks to present the common themes that connect all three of the readings for Sundays and feasts of the Lord in the three-year cycle of readings. Organized by each Sunday and feast day of the liturgical year for years A, B, and C, these reflections are meant to be theological and spiritual suggestions that the one who is preaching can develop further and from which he can select individual perspectives. Rather than seeking immediately concrete applications, Hans Urs von Balthasar attempts to elucidate the content which is immediately present in the passages.
