This beautiful bound hard-cover series contains what is in effect the spiritual inheritance of every Christian. The four volumes correspond with the main divisions of the Church year and offer, in English and in relation to the Gospel for each Sunday and greater solemnity or feast, an appropriate choice of sermons given by the great Fathers of the Church to their faithful congregations-men and women who clearly faced many of the same problems as we do today. This set will be of immeasurable value for reading, meditation, and preaching. Every Christian will find them profitable. Here is spiritual reading at its divine source.

"I know of no better way to enter the mind of the early Church Fathers and the spirit of Sacred Scripture than through this series of books edited by Fr. Toal."
-Fr. David Oasley
