Selected Homilies

Through fifty homilies spanning forty years, Richard Bollman, S.J., invites life experience to open up the ways and the Word of God. Drawing on poetry, reflections from other thinkers, international happenings, and daily life, Richard welcomes growth within and among us, all who gather to know a deeper pulse of life. The brief 'back story' beginning these homilies could very well be required reading for all who wish to learn to meet people with the Word and be changed by it.
