Based on his own journeys as a writer, teacher and disciple through the lectionary and his 20-plus years of experience as the editor of Connections, Jay Cormier’s helpful reflections will spark the Sunday conversation around the parish table about the Gospel of Matthew.
It will serve the needs of many who seek to open up this Gospel, including the homilist, the catechist, the RCIA team or individual disciples looking for a companion on their day-to-day journey to Emmaus. Cormier follows the pericopes of both the Roman Catholic lectionary and the common lectionary used by many Protestant churches. Jay Cormier is author of seven other books on prayer and scripture, and is editor of Connections a newsletter of ideas and resources for homilists.

‘Jay Cormier’s reflections lift up the image of Jesus as our loving servant and saviour, who seeks to lift our heavy burdens. They carefully relate the Gospel proclamation to contemporary culture in a warm and pastoral way that is helpful not only for Sunday preachers, but also for those who seek to nourish their spiritual lives through holy reading and personal prayer’. Rev Kevin Seasolts OSB, editor of ‘Worship Magazine’
‘Table Talk is a gift to individuals and parishes alike. Grab a coffee and three friends after church and sit down with Jay Cormier’s essay for the week. Use it for a whole class or to spark your sermon, or even just pick it up when you have a minute to yourself to get another take on the readings you heard last Sunday.’ Rev Barbara Crafton, Episcopalian priest and author of ‘The Almost-Daily eMos from the Geranium Farm’
