The Catholic Church today finds itself in the midst of a crisis. The flock is scattering, and while some shepherds bravely set off in search of those lost and wandering sheep, others drive them, and many more, further from the fold. But the Church has seen and weathered numerous crises in its two millennia, and always one or more of its priests and bishops stood up and rallied the faithful: whether to rebuke an Emperor or oppose a policy, encourage the faithful or defend the faith, bishops and priests ascended the pulpit and delivered sermons that met the pressing needs of their own times, sermons which should be read and remembered by Catholics of all times. You will find comfort within these pages as you read the words of these heroic pastors of souls including: St Ambrose of Milan, St Augustine, St John Chrysostom, St Edmund Campion, Pope St John Paul II , . . . and seven others. Enter into the minds and thoughts of some of the bravest, most eloquent, homilists the Church has produced. More than one was killed for the words they uttered which you will find in these pages. But they counted not the cost. Guided by Rev. Paul D. Scalia's introduction and commentaries, you will come to see that the Church has faced crises and survived, even thrived, before. In fact, it is one of the marks of her authenticity, as it has often been said, that no mere human institution could have survived the persecutions and scandals that the Catholic Church has withstood over 2000 years. If you are a priest or bishop, just maybe reading these words of men not unlike yourself, will inspire you to stand and be counted and preach God's word from the pulpit without counting the cost.… (lisätietoja)

This book is filled with the sermons of twelve clergy in a time of crisis. The crisis spanned from the temporal, loss of life, to the spiritual. Rev, Scalia has done an excellent job in writing his introduction. And his commentary is included within the body of the book to help give context in which the time these words were spoken. These twelve sermons/homilies are expressions of the “faithful, convincing proclamation of the World of God amid some crisis.”
As I read these works I was not surprised to find that the further back in time you go the more well written the sermon. Or at least to me the more relevant and stirring to the crisis at hand. You will instantly recognize the names of the authors of these works on most accounts. And the reading of this small book would be of great joy and aid to any who take the time to do so. I would also recommend all clergy to read these works as they may find them beneficial and inspiring. ( )
