PATHS OF LIFE, CYCLE B

This second in the three year cycle of meditations on the liturgical readings for Sundays and Holy Days continues the dramatic and colorful style used to such great effect by the author in The Paths of Life - Cycle A. Scripture is once again at the center of these reflections, and its application to the problems and concerns of daily life is always cogent, clear and timely. The poet and the pragmatist in the author combine to create new and insightful ways of viewing age-old truths and rediscovering their timeless significance for our own day and age. Priest and lay person alike will find his message helpful in preparing their own thoughts for each Sunday and Holy Day celebration.
