The primary apostolate of priests as leaders of the Christian community is to proclaim the word of God effectively and convincingly so that their preaching becomes a truly dynamic medium of Christ’s saving power to the people of God, encouraging them to seriously ponder the gospel and find practical ways of leading an authentic Christian life. This book of homily themes is designed to help the priest of deacon in his preaching apostolate by sharing with them the author’s own insights into the “C” cycle of scriptural readings for Sundays and Holydays. The themes are all simply and clearly written, they combine the insights of modern biblical research with ways of applying the central message of the readings to the practical, everyday problems of Christians today.
