FEAST DAY HOMILIES

Here is a real blessing for preachers. It gives, besides Scripture reflections and meditations for the feasts of the Lord and for other feasts, also brief lives of the saints with reflections and practical applications. All of these make the book a thing of beauty and an incomparable asset. It should accompany the Bible and the Breviary of every priest; he will find it very helpful to himself and to his flock. It offers excellent material for the animation of any religious or parish community. The example of the saints will edify the priest and the faithful alike, and invite them to move closer to God and to be focussed on the essential goal of life: to be happy with Him forever. Though homily books abound, this is a rare one that offers good interior nourishment on the feasts of the Lord and of saints. (From the Foreword by Telesphore P. Cardinal Toppo)
