These eighty-two meditations were actual homilies that were given at mass or on special occasions in front of a parish community. The book consists of three volumes that make up the liturgical cycle. Each volume has a section devoted to the Sundays of the year, a section devoted to the holy days and fixed feasts that can fall on a Sunday, and a section on special occasions that might occur in the life of a parish. This book is designed to help the reader prepare for the upcoming liturgical celebration.

Endorsement of Fr. Roy Doner's Book of Homilies

Father Doner's homilies are spiritually insightful, practical, and concise. His book can be a good resource for any priest or deacon preparing to preach at Sunday and feast day Masses or to give retreat reflections. Father's explanation of the Scripture readings and their application to daily life is well-done. Listeners will easily relate. Also, any laity wanting to further reflect and pray over the Sunday Scripture readings will find the book spiritually helpful.
