Praise for the Print Edition
Father Donovan’s three volumes on Cycles A, B, and C, while not homilies in themselves, present homilists with scriptural and liturgical contexts for all the Sundays and feast days. All the readings are discussed and usually in ways that reveal (1) what the text meant then, (2) what they might be saying now. Not a substitute for personal study, but a knowledgeable, practical and precious resource. I recommend it enthusiastically.
—John Burke, O.P., National Institute for the Word of God
What a heartwarming powerhouse! Powerful pastoral insights for Christian living today flow from his illuminating exegesis of the Scripture readings. Father Donovan helps to effect a joyful encounter between God and his people in the Eucharist.
—Walter J. Burghardt, S.J., author, Preaching the Just Word
