Includes Homilies for Weekdays: Year I, Homilies for Weekdays: Year II, and the new Homilies for Weekdays: Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials.
Looking for homily suggestions that faithfully represent the Scripture readings and offer hearers of the text practical applications for Christian life? Homilies for Weekdays Years 1 & 2, by Father Don Talafous, OSB, contain creative suggestions of what a homilist might say about the daily readings following the Lectionary cycle.
This extensive compilation for each day is a result of Father Talafous’ many years of experience in preparing homilies. Written on both a popular and pastoral level, these homily ideas may also serve as daily reflections or meditations on the Scriptural texts for readers interested in nourishing their Christian lives with Scripture.
Homilies for Weekdays: Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials is a requested and welcome addition to the first two volumes of weekday homilies by Father Don Talafous, OSB. Here, he offers creative homily suggestions for solemnities, feasts, and obligatory memorials that fall on weekdays. Readers will deeply appreciate the faithful representation of the Scripture readings and their practical applications for Christian living.
