Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Word of God: A Series of Short Meditations on the Sunday Gospels Published in Rome by the Society of Saint Jerome for the Diffusion of the Gospel
One hundred and twenty thousand copies of this series of short sermons have already been published, and it is hoped that this English translation of them does not fall too far short in expressing the unction, the simplicity and the beauty of the original Italian. It will be observed that the Gospel of a proximate feast day is occasionally substituted for the Gospel of the Sunday, as, for example, on the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Gospel considered is that of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. It may also be noted that on four of the Sundays during Lent, the Gospel proposed for meditation is not the Gospel of the Sunday, but one from a ferial Mass of the same week.
