Book Description
The Catholic Church lives on two lungs-Word and Sacrament. They reach their clearest expression and celebration for the Church's life in the Eucharist-the 'source and summit of the Church's life' as Vatican 2 puts it. Father William J Grimm is a Maryknoll Missioner of 40 years experience in Asia-mostly Japan, but Hong Kong and Cambodia as well. In that time he has come to deepen his understanding of the distinctiveness of the message and person of Jesus Christ even in circumstances and among people that Jesus could never have known or imagined. It is not enough to understand what the readings mean as those who composed them intended us to grasp. The critical thing is to find what that meaning might be in the context of our times and contexts. Speaking the Word in our time and for our places is the challenge of preaching and it is to that challenge that Fr Grimm devotes his learning, experience and imagination. Every week for the Church's three year liturgical cycle, Fr Grimm gives visitors to www.ucanews.com-UCAN-the benefit of his learning, prayer, wisdom and experience. Each week, his homilies for Sundays and special feasts are seen by some 3,000 visitors to the main UCAN site and with subtitles on UCAN's Vietnamese and Chinese sites. Now the text of those homilies is published not only to assist preachers in the preparation of their homilies but for anyone wanting to deepen their under- standing of the text and find material for fruitful prayer on the Sunday readings.

Teach, Delight, Persuade
Author: Father James W. Kinn, STD
Publisher: LiturgyTrainingPublications
ISBN: 1618330322
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Teach, Delight, Persuade: Scriptural Homilies for Years A, B, and C contains homilies drawn from all three reading cycles for the Sundays and solemn feasts of the liturgical year. These accessible and practical homilies are intended primarily for priests and deacons who preach at Catholic celebrations of the Eucharist. The homilies concentrate on the core message of the Old Testament reading, the psalm, the New Testament reading, and the Gospel. -The homilies are short and catechetical in approach. -Each homily covers a brief analysis of the intent of the scripture writer, the historical significance of the period, and practical application of the scripture to contemporary life. -In addition to pastors and deacons, this book is also an ideal pastoral resource for many lay ministers who make use of the Sunday readings when they teach the word of God: directors of religious education, leaders of inquiry groups (such as RCIA), scripture study group facilitators, prayer groups, and religion teachers. -The homilies are the result of 50 years of preaching and several years of research and pastoral experience. -The scriptural exegesis contained in the homilies flows from the profound scriptural insights of the last 50 years. All of these homilies reflect the social and religious concerns of the contemporary Church.

Funeral Homilies
Author: William J. Bausch
Publisher: Twenty-Third Publications
ISBN: 9781585957279
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Father Bill Bausch's homilies are always outstanding. He brings a deep pastoral presence and much thought and preparation to each of them. This has never been more evident than here in this book of funeral homilies. Each is crafted to reflect the person remembered as well as the message of Scripture. Each reflects the communal nature of a Catholic funeral and is sensitive to the status of the mourners: non-Catholics, lapsed Catholics, faithful parishioners, relatives, and friends. Father Bill's words are faith-filled and compassionate, comforting and challenging, communal and personal. He regards the funeral liturgy as one of the greatest teachable moments the Church offers and here this is very evident. Highly recommended for all priests, deacons, and preachers. Book jacket.
