Intended for everyone who would like to become better acquainted with the passages of Scripture that are read at Mass each week — and not merely the homilist in search of ideas for his next sermon — this three-volume homily set represents the fruit of thirty years of preaching each Sunday in parishes to people from very different social, racial, and educational backgrounds, many of whom have claimed to have enjoyed and profited from them. In his inimitable style, Father Dowling brings to these homilies a number of profound and original insights into the Scripture passages culled from his years of study and long experience in presenting them in such a way that they have accessible to all. It is his hope that these homilies will help people to understand the Scripture readings better, appreciate them more, and read the Word of God more frequently on their own.
