William Bergen: Sunday Homilies, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Father Bergen's Sunday Homilies is a three-volume collection of reflections on the Sunday Scripture readings for each week of the Liturgical Year--Years A, B, and C.

In Sunday Homilies: Liturgical Year B, Fr. William Bergen, SJ, brings together more than forty years of preaching experience to offer thoughtful, Scripture-based reflections for every Sunday and major feast. Each homily follows the Lectionary readings for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time. Year B centers on the Gospel of Mark, complemented by passages from John, emphasizing the immediacy of faith, the call to discipleship, and the healing power of Christ. This volume invites readers to encounter the Word of God with renewed understanding and devotion, whether for personal reflection or preaching inspiration.

William Bergen, SJ, is a native of New York City and has been a Jesuit priest for the past sixty years. He has spent most of that time in parish ministry--first at Saint Ignatius Parish in Baltimore and then for the past thirty-five years at St. Ignatius Loyola Parish in New York City. Fr. Bergen had been on the staff of Mount Manresa Retreat House in Staten Island prior to its closing and an adjunct professor of theology at St. Peter's College in Jersey City, NJ. Since his retirement at the end of 2024, he has continued to pursue his interest in Sacred Scripture and Christian spirituality.
