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.
