Homilies on the Gospels
Book Summary
This work gathers a careful selection of Saint Gregory the Great's homilies on the Gospels, offering the reader a profound and accessible spiritual guide. Divided into two thematic sections, the homilies address both ascetic issues for inner growth and reflections linked to the liturgical season. A classic text of Christian spirituality that invites meditation and the practical application of the Word in daily life.
What is it about?
Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church, displays his pastoral and theological wisdom in these homilies. The book is structured into two clearly differentiated parts. The first brings together homilies focused on ascetic themes, where the author offers teachings on the spiritual struggle, virtue, and the path toward personal holiness. The second part groups the homilies of the liturgical season, which accompany the reader throughout the ecclesiastical year, delving into the meaning of the main celebrations and solemnities. As a whole, the work is not merely a biblical commentary, but an invitation to live the Gospel from the experience of faith.
