In the gospel of Saint Matthew, Jesus is “Emmanuel,” God-with-us, or, as Jesus himself puts it, he is “I-Desire,” “Coming-I-Will-Heal,” and “I-Am-with-You-Always.”

The brief commentaries collected here, initially presented by Cistercian abbot Mark A. Scott in a series of chapter talks to his monastic community, will welcome the reader into an intimate encounter with the love of Jesus, as the evangelist Matthew presents him in chapters four through nine of his gospel. These reflections also weave insights from the Rule of Benedict along with reflections on monastic life offering to all ecclesial communities and individual Christians rich nourishment for their loving Jesus in return.

Reviews for Loving Jesus: Monastery Talks on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew

"""Fr. Mark Scott, OCSO, presents here a series of chapter talks, the fruits of study and reflection on the Gospel of Matthew. Well-versed in the scholarly study of the Gospels, his years of reflection on the text result in unexpected insights derived from both biblical and non-biblical perspectives, including the differences between Gospel narratives of the same event."" Martha Fessler Krieg, lay Cistercian associate and independent scholar ""Through his monastic conferences, now shared with a broader audience, Scott fashions Loving Jesus into a valuable contribution to the effort of Christians of many spiritualities to imitate the love of Jesus and hasten the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a generously conceived and well written book which will bear good fruit for religious and lay faithful alike."" The Downside Review ""Scott models a faith-filled, communally-contextualized, reflective reading without sacrificing the scholarly, and thus helps bring to life again for us the greatest story ever told.""
