If you’ve ever walked out of Mass feeling like the readings passed right by you, The Liturgical Sense of the Readings at Mass – Year A by David L. Gray is a book you’ll want in your library. In this insightful work, Gray invites readers to rediscover the profound beauty and meaning of the Sunday Mass readings by showing how each passage is woven into the tapestry of the liturgical year and the rhythm of Catholic worship.
Rather than reading Scripture as isolated texts, Gray reveals how the liturgical sense—the way readings relate to the entire structure of the Mass and the greater story of salvation—enriches our understanding of God’s Word. From the Opening Rite to the Concluding Rite, he explains how Scripture and liturgy illuminate one another, encouraging readers to move beyond passive attendance to active, prayerful engagement with the sacred mysteries.
This book is ideal not only for clergy preparing homilies but also for lay faithful, catechists, and study groups looking to pray with greater depth and live more intentionally in the light of the Gospel. With clarity, reverence, and accessibility, Gray’s commentary helps us see how every reading leads us deeper into the heart of the Mass and encourages spiritual growth in daily life.
