The Catholic liturgical calendar is filled with feasts and celebrations that may or may not fall on Sundays. In this volume, Fr Henry.J. Martin, OSA complements his homilies for the annual cycles (A) with homilies for sundays ,feasts and celebrations that occur each year with the accurate readings on that day For us in the 21st Century, it is not enough simply to understand what the readings mean as those who composed them intended us to grasp. Our challenge and opportunity is to find out what they mean in our time and contexts two millennia later. Speaking the Word in our time and for our places is the challenge of preaching and, in this volume, Fr Henry offers his considered reflections on what that task requires. Every week of the year, Frgives us the benefit of his learning, wisdom and experience in this book . Now the texts of his homilies for the many special feasts of the year are available not only for preachers when preparing their homilies. They are also meant for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the texts or find material for fruitful prayer.

The homilies represent the Scripture readings and offer hearers of the text practical applications for Christian life.
