Book Recommendation - Peter Kreeft’s Reflections on the Scripture Readings at Mass, Year C
This is the first in order of publication (although it is Cycle C) of what will be a complete set of three commentaries by Peter Kreeft on the Scripture readings at Mass – one for each cycle, A, B, and C.
It covers all three readings for every Sunday and major Feast in the year, devoting serious thought to every reading, typically two or three pages for each commentary, and so 8-10 pages per Sunday, with personal insights as well as traditional interpretations of Scripture.
Shout for joy O daughter of Zion! Sing joyfully O Israel! Be glad and exult in all your heart O daughter Jerusalem.
The prophet then lists seven promises. Kreeft describes each of these in turn and then concludes with the following:
The seventh promise is that “he will sing joyfully because of you.” We will be his song. Now, we will sing about him; then, he will sing about us. If we now glorify Him, he then will glorify us. The reason he has not shown us a picture of our new self, our heavenly self – the reason he has not told us what it looks like – is probably because if we saw it now, we would either not believe it – not believe that that beautiful creature is us – or else we would be strongly tempted to worship it.
Whatever it is that God has in store for us, it is always better, wiser, more loving, more joyful, more beautiful, and more worthy of song than we can imagine. The best description we have is this, we will be like Jesus.
And, as the writer on sacred art for this column, I would add, if you want to know what Jesus looks like, look at the traditional art of the Church!
