Homilies for the Whole Community: Wisdom from a Pastor's Heart; Year CFather Michael T. Hayes' secret to good homilies is that he spoke to each person and to the whole community at the same time. The sixty-four homilies collected in this new book contain wonderful reflections for every season and major feast of the Church year. It's immediately obvious that they are written to be proclaimed (in sense lines and with key points highlighted in red). Sprinkled throughout are anecdotes from Father Mike's many friends, which give a glimpse into his life, into the person he was and from where he drew his strength. Homilies for the Whole Community was written to inspire other homilists, but it is also for lectors, eucharistic ministers, and all who want to reflect on words of wisdom from a pastor's heart. |
