The final volume in the popular series featuring homilies on the Gospel readings for Sunday and holy days by Catholic women from around the world.
“Offers abundant witness to the fact that the Spirit of God continues to raise up surprising and gifted preachers whose faithful witness and prophetic speech offer the entire church both challenge and hope. . . The witness of faithful women who can testify from experience that they have found in the Gospel ‘words of spirit and life’ (Jn. 6:63) is essential to the mission of the entire church. May the bold proclamations of the Gospel in this volume prompt a wider hearing of the good news and lead contemporary disciples to ‘hear the word of God and act on it’ (Lk 11:28).”—From the Foreword by Catherine Hilkert OP
