The work is not an exegesis or scriptural commentary on the Gospel, but gentle musings that give fresh insights to Biblical stories and texts that are ever old and ever new... a valuable aid to the homilist. - The Furrow (Gospel Reflections Year A). This is a book for anyone who wishes to delve deeper into the Gospel readings for each Sunday. Whether a priest writing a homily, or a member of the congregation preparing for Mass, or just someone wanting to better understand the weekly readings, Donal Neary brings years of pastoral experience to bear. His reflections bring fresh perspectives to well known readings, and provide illumination to the lesser known passages.
