Description
The Sunday Gospel passages of the Lectionary follow a three-year cycle (A, B, C), in the first year (A) of which the Gospel of St Matthew is read. This semi-continuous reading of Matthew during the Sundays of Ordinary Time is interrupted by the reading of passages from the other Gospels (such as John) during the special liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmastide, Lent and Easter. The weekday Gospel passages are so arranged that portions of all four Gospels are read each year. Mark is read first (First to Ninth Week), then Matthew (Tenth to Twenty-First Week), then Luke (Twenty-second to Thirty-Fourth Week). Mark 1-12 are read in their entirety, with the exception only of the two passages of Mark 6 that are read on weekdays in other seasons. From Matthew and Luke, the readings comprise all the matters not contained in Mark. Christ's eschatological discourse as contained in Luke is read at the end of the liturgical year. This continuous reading is often interrupted by the Gospels of solemnities and feast days, and of course during the special liturgical seasons. For instance, the Gospel of St John is read throughout Easter, and is used during the special liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmastide and Lent where appropriate.

Summary
The following work — written especially for the lay reader — is meant as an aid to reflection on the Gospel passage of each day of the liturgical year A. At times the comment is exegetical, at times homiletic, at times more wide-ranging. It is hoped that these thoughts on the daily Gospel may assist in appreciating the living person of Jesus Christ, Son of God and our brother, risen from the dead and Head of the Church which is his creation. He is the Redeemer of man.
