Praise for the Series
Father Slattery understands that the true gift in preaching is discovery. . . . His Sunday reflections are exercises in reflection as a means of spiritual development. The reflections are not exhaustive exegeses but are rather lessons learned from his encounters with the world and the Scriptures. They are lessons learned from his own experiences. But having been ordained in Dublin, ministered in Virginia, studied at Catholic University, lectured in Pretoria, and teaching in Namibia, Father Slattery’s experiences are neither shallow nor parochial. The reflections average two pages in length.
