Michel de Verteuil guides the reader through the process of lectio divina with each Sunday gospel for Year A - the Year of Matthew. Each gospel text is followed by a reflection on the content of the reading, and a prayer which, it is hoped, will assist those who would like to move on to furthr prayer.The main purpose of the book is to help readers enter more fully into the richness of the gospel message and, in so doing, to associate themselves in prayer and reflection with the wider church community.
Fr de Verteuil was director of the lay apostolate in the archdiocese of Trinidad for the past 23 years. It was during this time that he first became interested in the method of lectio divina. This is a method he has helped to spread in his home, in the Caribbean, in Ireland, Canada, and through the internet with the rest of the world. He was also for twelve years Editor and Managing Director of the Catholic News the weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese of Port of Spain, Trinidad. He is now director of a Centre for Biblical Renewal.
