Media Reviews

This is a collection of 30 homilies by a Trappist monk best known for his Centering prayer teachings. Arranged by events in Jesus's ministry, themes and images from Jesus's teachings, and liturgical celebrations of Jesus's presence, these homilies are clear, insightful, creative, and spiritually profound. While they may be helpful to those preparing to preach and teach, they also make excellent material for personal meditation on biblical texts. Highly recommended for seminary and public libraries. -- Library Journal
