The Call of Wild Geese: More Sermons in a Monastery Volume 136

by Matthew Kelty, William O Paulsell (Editor)

Overview

The brief, unforgettable homilies in this second collection of monastic homilies speak of the human realities and are no less applicable to persons in the parish than they are to monks. A profound devotion to Christ underlies them al. Some are startling; all are challenging and marked by spontaneity and exquisite imagery. Preached after more than nine years in solitude, these short sermons reflect a mature experience with a unique mix of wry humor and utter seriousness.
