Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preaching to the Hungers of the Heart is about words, most particularly, it is a book about the Word, the living Word of God, found in the Scriptures, and embodied once and for all in the person of Jesus, the Word made flesh. In Preaching to the Hungers of the Heart Fr. James Wallace offers a nuanced consideration of the homily as nourishment. He focuses on three common liturgical contexts: feasts of the Lord, feasts of Mary and the saints, and the sacramental rites. He relates the preaching that occurs within each area to one of the heart's basic hungers: for wholeness (the great feasts of the Lord), for guidance (feasts of Mary and the saints), and for meaning (various rites). He also addresses the spirituality of the preacher as it is worked out in the process of preparation. For preachers and students in schools of ministry who are preparing to preachPreaching to the Hungers of the Heart will serve as a useful tool to help satisfy the hunger to preach the Gospel. It includes homilies that provide excellent starting points for preachers looking for ideas. Chapter one considers the image of feeding God's people with the Word of God. Chapter two, considering the innermost hunger of the human person, looks to the preaching that takes place on the great feasts of the Lord and how such preaching can nourish the hunger for wholeness. Chapter three returns to the hunger for meaning already mentioned and extends to the other sacramental celebrations the homily's capacity to meet this hunger, including those addressed by the various sacramental celebrations of the Church such as baptisms, weddings, funerals, rites of reconciliation, and anointing of the sick. Chapters four and five present the homily as responding to the hunger to belong. The final chapter considers one other hunger of the heart, unique to the preacher, referred to by John Paul II as a hunger to preach the gospel (Pastores Dabo Vobis, no. 28). Chapters are "Preaching's Task in a New Millennium: Feeding God's People," "Preaching the Feasts of the Lord and the Hunger for Wholeness," "Preaching Within the Sacramental Rites and the Hunger for Meaning, "Preaching Through the Saints and the Hunger for Belonging: I - The Saints," "Preaching Through the Saints and the Hunger for Belonging: II - Mary," and "Cultivating the Preacher's Hunger: 'To Make the Gospel Known and Loved.'" James A. Wallace, CSsR, PhD, is professor of homiletics at Washington Theological Union. His previous works include Preaching Through the Saints and The Ministry of Lectors published by The Liturgical Press. He has also authored numerous articles and has given preaching conferences and workshops in the U.S. and abroad. "

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should preachers aim for in Sunday preaching? In 1982, the USCCB document Fulfilled in Your Hearing: The Homily in the Sunday Assembly answered this question. Here, in a pastoral commentary on Fulfilled in Your Hearing, several Catholic scholars in homiletics, liturgy, and biblical studies both appreciate the abiding insights of Fulfilled in Your Hearing and also propose areas for continuing reflection. Following the four sections of the Bishops' document: The Assembly, The Preacher, The Homily, and Homiletic Method. This commentary emphasizes the document's continuing importance for the initial and ongoing formation of Catholic liturgical preachers, while also inviting conversation about present-day cross-cultural, liturgical, and communication concerns for Catholic preaching. Priests, deacons, seminarians, bishops, and all others engaged in the preaching task are invited to deepen their appreciation of the homily's unique role in the liturgical life of the church and to stir their enthusiasm for preaching and preaching preparation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hunger of the Heart for Faith, and Other Sermons: Delivered at the Cathedral Open-Air Services, Washington, D. C More than four years ago, the Rev. Dr. Charles C. Pierce, who is a Chaplain in the United States Army, stationed at Fort Myer (just across the Potomac River), and also a clergyman of the Diocese of Washington, kindly consented to preach at an open-air service on the Cathedral grounds, and such was the influence and effect of his words, that I asked him to continue this service of his, again and again. The congregations on Sunday afternoons at these open-air services are chiefly composed of non-church-goers; many who do not enter the doors of the church from one year's end to another. They are drawn to these services, partly on account of the unrestrained freedom they enjoy in attending them, and partly because the glad tidings of salvation are proclaimed by the preacher in such a simple, direct, and loving way, that those who hear him once, want to hear him again. As year followed year - five seasons now have passed - when the novelty of these services necessarily wore off, it became evident that there was a deeper influence at work, which drew this large and increasing congregation together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As much as I'd like to lie and tell you that all of these years in ministry have been a walk in a rose garden, but that is simply untrue. I'm not sure what I expected when I got the call, but I had no idea what was on the other end of my "yes". What I can tell you, is that ministry will have you love the very people who will turn around and stab you in the back. Ministry will have you pray and pour out when you're empty. Ministry won't allow you to finish with the people you started with because everyone can't go. Ministry will cause many sleepless nights. Ministry will cause you to stand alone at times. Ministry will have you cover the very people who cut you. Ministry will have you Preaching In Pain. While many are blindly chasing platforms and pulpits, they have no idea what demonic plots, plans or poisons are waiting at the door for every leader or anyone who is called. However, the ultimate crushing is when you find out that the ongoing heartache may not just be the devil's doing at all, but it is the Lord himself who is purposely putting you in the fire. Who do you turn to when you're vexed and offended with the Almighty God? I share my truth for the leader who wants to quit, for the "strong friend" who's ready to commit suicide and for the prayer warriors who are just simply tired. I know you've faced devastating times, but you are not alone. I won't give you typical church clichés, but I do what you to know that there is a greater purpose in the pain.
