Easter Fire: Fire Starters for the Easter Weekday Homily

Paperback |English |0814648665 | 9780814648667
Overview


Widely embraced by homilists and those interested in reflecting more deeply on the daily Lectionary readings, Bishop Richard Sklba's
Fire Starters: Igniting the Holy in the Weekday Homily has served as a practical resource for preparing engaging weekday homilies for Ordinary Time. After much anticipation, Bishop Sklba and coauthor Fr. Joseph Juknialis now offer
Easter Fire, a welcome companion to support anyone called to preach at Easter weekday Masses.


Easter Fire provides the biblical citations and summary phrases for the reading and the gospel plus the refrain from the psalm each day. After each citation, the authors offer a series of meaningful insights based on Scripture scholarship, their own prayerful reflection on the texts, and years of preaching and pastoral experience. These brief "bullet point" entries provide nuggets of knowledge and inspiration that will stimulate personal prayer and spark homily possibilities for the preacher every day.


Easter Fire will ignite sparks that can be enflamed by God's Spirit, to not only enrich the spiritual journey but to add light and warmth for the preparation of weekday homilies during the Easter season.

Editorial Reviews


What a rich and wonderful resource! Busy preachers and pastors will find the beautifully written and easy-to-navigate
Easter Fire invaluable as they preach the weekday liturgies of Easter. I am struck, not only by the depth of the exegesis, illustrations and liturgical/historical notes, but also by their breadth and expression. Bishop Sklba and Rev. Juknialis draw upon their own insights and experiences as well as those of a variety of theologians, poets, artists, psychologists, historians and lay faithful. The result is a practical and hope-filled resource-a deep well that preachers can draw from on a daily basis throughout the Easter Season for both homiletic and personal inspiration.Susan McGurgan, DMin, Director, Lay Pastoral Ministry Program, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Theology, The Athenaeum of Ohio/Mount St. Mary's Seminary
