Patristic Commentaries for the Readings of the Ferial Office of the Matins of the Roman Breviary

The wisdom of the Church Fathers is an invaluable treasure--one that illuminates Scripture, strengthens faith, and guides us through the complexities of modern life. In this book, Bishop Athanasius Schneider brings together the voices of the great Fathers of the Church, offering profound reflections on the daily readings of the Roman Breviary.

From St. Augustine to St. John Chrysostom, from St. Basil to St. Jerome, these commentaries provide timeless insights into Sacred Scripture, drawn from an era when theological depth and holiness of life went hand in hand. These Fathers were not only brilliant scholars but also courageous defenders of the Faith, many of whom suffered persecution, exile, and even martyrdom for Christ. Their words, written in the atmosphere of prayer, fidelity to the Church, and profound contemplation, continue to speak powerfully to Catholics today.

This collection is more than an academic resource--it is a spiritual companion, a guide for clergy, religious, and lay faithful who seek to deepen their prayer life and understanding of the Word of God. By rediscovering the exegesis of the Fathers, we align ourselves with the great Tradition of the Church, allowing their voices to strengthen our faith in a time of confusion and challenge.

With this book, you will enter into the heart of Sacred Tradition and rediscover the spiritual riches that have guided the Church for centuries.
