Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a collection of homilies crafted for Sundays, solemnities, and significant feasts in the liturgical calendar's Year C cycle. The book begins with an exploration of the Christology of the Gospel of Luke, emphasizing Jesus as the universal and compassionate Savior, deeply rooted in the fulfillment of God's promises. It outlines themes central to Luke's Gospel, such as Jesus' outreach to the marginalized, His Spirit-filled mission, and the role of prayer in His ministry.
The homilies span various liturgical occasions, from Advent through the Solemnity of Christ the King, offering reflections on scripture readings and their applications to contemporary Christian life. Each homily emphasizes theological insights, pastoral care, and practical spirituality. For instance, during Advent, Cush urges believers to rekindle an eschatological focus, while Christmas homilies highlight the paradox of God's incarnation as a vulnerable child. Themes of mercy, humility, and discipleship pervade, inviting readers to deepen their faith and emulate Christ's compassion.
This work integrates historical, scriptural, and doctrinal elements, making it a rich resource for clergy and laity alike. Its reflections encourage a vibrant, prayerful engagement with the liturgical year, inspiring Christians to live out their faith authentically in daily life.
