Sermons on the Liturgy

Father Parsch's classic "Sermons on the Liturgy" masterfully draws together the lessons for the Sundays and Feast Days of the Church Year. Parsch's brilliance is especially found in his application and in the way in which he unites Word and Sacrament, always showing how the lessons lead God's people to his Table. Neither Word nor Sacrament can ever stand alone. (Note: These sermons are based on the Epistle and Gospel lessons of the historic Western Lectionary as used by the Roman Catholic Church prior to the Second Vatican Council.)
