“Not bad, I thought, for a midweek ‘omily.”
I like your Pastor. It sounds like an eternal homily. Thank you.
This is the site for a book by Andrew Murray, a saint from a past era on the subject of “Abide in Christ” It is a classic devotional book.

I'm glad you like it and him. He's an exquisite preacher, most of the time.
The great thing about a Dominican parish now that we're recovering from the feel-good excesses of Vat II is that it IS the "Order of Preachers" after all, and they are committed to prayer and study done in the support of preaching. They take preaching as seriously as I do and more seriously than many Catholic pastors.
One of our guys just left for doctoral studies but the two that are still with us are devoted to Christ and to the Gospel. So we can count on a good homily just about at every Mass. I have told the pastor more than once that our parish is in a golden age of good preaching, instruction, and piety.
And thanks for the link. Now that we hve power again, I'll go check it out.
