Sunday homilies can be a meaningful part of the Christian experience. Homilies for the Year - B  provides 52 weeks of insight, based on an understanding of Sunday readings from an exegetical point of view, and gives practical applications for today's world. Ample quotations from the Scriptures, proverbs, citations and short stories beef up the homilies, and Suggestions for Introduction to the Mass and the Prayers of the Faithful complete the section for each Sunday.

 As Cardinal Gantin has written in the Preface, the author brings to this book his vast experience spanning French, Indian and African cultures.  And an eye for good passages:

"Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, and opening the Scriptures to us", said the disciples of Emmaus (Luke 24:32).

To this experience the homilies call us. You are invited to taste and feel the Word of God and then find its meaning in your life.

A valuable helping hand for priests and catechists preparing their Sunday homilies, and ordinary people who, in the parishes, come together for Bible studies.
