Praying and Preaching the Sunday Gospel

Praying the life of Jesus arouses God’s breath in us; preaching the life of Jesus should do the same to the listeners. Preaching in such a way, however, presupposes a lot. There is the preacher, the Jesus story and the listener. Preachers have to be faithful to Jesus, to their community, and to themselves. The preacher has to strike a balance between different poles. Reflections are given in this single volume for all the Sunday readings for Liturgical Cycles A, B and C. Reflections on a number of recurring celebrations which Fr. Donders offers in this volume add to the usefulness of this book.
