“Preach the word…in season and out of season…” Grace in Season: The Riches of the Gospel in Seventy Sermons joyfully fulfills these words of St. Paul. This matchless collection of Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia’s preaching, alive with the wisdom of the Dominican tradition, the Church Fathers, and the Communion of Saints, opens Sacred Scripture and shows forth the unchanging glory of the Good News. The light of that glory illuminates every season of human life, revealing the loving hand of God’s providence at work in both the extraordinary events and the ordinary moments of salvation history. A ready and refreshing tonic for those who thirst for the living water of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Grace in Season also provides for other preachers, as Aquinas Guilbeau, O.P., writes in his Foreword, “a model for gently but effectively subjecting the vain restlessness of the world to the merciful restlessness of the Word.” "Archbishop Di Noia's homilies are deeply theological and immediately accessible. The language here is exquisitely precise and enthralling. He speaks from deep within the liturgical mystery and so exposes for us-- to use his own words--the inexhaustible intelligibility of divine wisdom." -Abbot Jeremy Driscoll, O.S.B., Mount Angel Abbey "One dives with Archbishop Di Noia straight into the power and glory of Jesus Christ who heals 'far as the curse is found.' The Dominican Archbishop's use of hymns lifts the heart, and his ample attestation from the Church Fathers and St. Thomas illumines the mind to apprehend the wondrous and shocking reality of who Christ is. Firmly grounded in both the liturgical year and the mundane trials of life, these homilies awaken the soul." - Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary "I frequently have the privilege of giving preaching workshops to presbyterates across the country, and I always recommend to priests my former professor, Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia, as one of the top five greatest preachers in the English language." - Peter John Cameron, O.P., Hard as Nails Ministries "Archbishop Di Noia makes the joy of the Gospel palpable and contagious. His words are like a symphony of loving challenge from Heaven. His words so often bring us to our knees, pleading to live this Christian life more fully, using our freedom well, transformed by the Eucharist, flooding our lives with grace--to overflowing. This book is a gift, full of sermons I have travelled for and chased after over the years. They are all here now, to drink in for renewal in these times where our full surrender to life in the Trinity is critical, the measure of love by which we will be judged. Grace in Season is for living the life we have been called and raised to by sacramental grace!" - Kathryn Jean Lopez, Senior Fellow, National Review Institute and author of A Year with the Mystics: Visionary Wisdom for Daily Living "Incredibly moving...stunningly beautiful... Keep this book near your bedside and follow its contents through the year. You will find your faith strengthened and challenged in equal measure by these profound and invitational sermons." - Michael Sean Winters, National Catholic Reporter "It has been the experience of Christians through the centuries that having at hand a collection of sermons to read and ponder at leisure can lead us to a deepened understanding of the mystery of salvation and stir us to the love of God." -J. Augustine Di Noia, O.P. Archbishop J. Augustine Di Noia, O.P., taught theology for many years at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC, and now serves as Adjunct Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
