Breaking Open the Word, Years A, B, and C

An OCIA (RCIA) Guide to Sunday Scripture

MARY KATHARINE DEELEY

Breaking Open the Word helps leaders of adult and teen Christian initiation and Bible study groups “break open” and explore the word of God proclaimed in the Sunday liturgy. The commentary and reflection questions by biblical scholar Mary Katharine Deeley facilitate meditation and discussion, bringing Scripture alive and making it relevant.

Breaking Open the Word can be used alone or combined with the Journey of Faith OCIA (RCIA) program. Each reading cross-references a Journey of Faith lesson, fostering a Lectionarybased approach to catechesis.

Separate Breaking Open the Word volumes are available for use during years A, B, and C of the liturgical cycle. Each Breaking Open the Word volume has more material to use during Lent and the Easter Triduum.
