FIRE OF MERCY, HEART OF THE WORD Meditations on the Gospel According to St. Matthew Vol. 1 by ERASMO LEIVA-MERIKAKIS

Description

To the unstudied eye, Matthew’s gospel can seem a terse narrative, almost a historical document and not the tremendously spiritual (and doctrinal) storehouse that it is. Erasmo Leiva here acts as our guide, showing Matthew’s prose to be not terse so much as economical–astoundingly so given its depth. The lay reader can derive great profit from reading this. Each short meditation comments on a verse or two, pointing to some facet of the text not immediately apparent. This volume covers Chapter 1 to 11. Paper.
