From the introduction by Deacon Jay:
My inspiration for the following homilies came from the following resources:
Preaching the Social Doctrine of the Church, James Reinart
Lift Up Your Hearts, Guerric DeBona
Believe What You Read: Timeless Homilies for Deacons, Michael E Bulson
Food for the Soul, Peter Kreeft
Before each homily, there is a Scripture passage from that day’s readings, taken from the New American Bible (Revised Edition, 2011), the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
As a deacon, I took an oath to proclaim the teachings of the Catholic Church. I believe that all of these homilies reflect that teaching. If you have any comments about these homilies or wish to discuss them, please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Enjoy the homilies!
This book is dedicated to my loving wife Kathleen, who painstakingly reviewed many of these homilies and has given her love and support to my diaconate ministry.
