The Byrne Retreat
thescaffold.substack.com
Brendan Byrne SJ is a biblical scholar in the Catholic Tradition.
He preached eight conferences on the Gospel of Matthew to the priests of the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn in November 2022.
These conferences are now yours. They were glossed by Anthony G. Percy.
The Byrne Retreat begins Ash Wednesday 22 February 2023 and finishes Wednesday 12 April 2023.
The best way to use these conferences is by proclaiming them, for it is in the spoken and preached word that the fullness of Christ’s presence is felt.
Naturally, they can be used for personal reading and meditation.
Byrne’s full commentary on the Gospel of Matthew is entitled: Lifting the Burden: Reading Matthew’s Gospel in the Church Today (2004).
