Fr Henry Wansbrough’s
Sunday Gospel Reflection

Dom Henry Wansbrough, General Editor of the New Jerusalem Bible who, for many years, was a member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, writes the weekly Sunday Gospel reflection/commentary for the parish Wednesday Word.



"This is a splendid and imaginative initiative, to bring the message of the gospel to Christians at home. Even those who don’t go to church have the right to hear and think about the gospel, and The Wednesday Word gives them a chance to do just that. It will also be a great support to know that others all over the country are joining in this reflection”
Dom Henry Wansbrough OSB

Fr Henry is a monk of Ampleforth Abbey and a world renowned biblical scholar. He was General Editor of the New Jerusalem Bible. Fr Henry recently prepared the CTS Catholic Bible in which he has written an introductory article to each book of the Bible, and has prepared footnotes on the text. He has written twenty books, more than sixty articles, over a thousand book reviews, and produced an edition of the Synoptic Gospels.

"Go out to the whole world, and proclaim the good news to all creation"
