This book offers 26 funeral services, each on a specific theme – half of them written to refer to the phase of life at which a person died. The book also includes four Remembrance Liturgies, as well as four Rites of Committal, 12 Prayer Services, and 16 Reflections, many of which did not appear in the earlier work.
" Bill East has brought to his task a scholar's depth allied to a communicator's skill, so the learning is a servant to the text, not its master..." - Bishop John Crowley
Fr Bill East brings a wealth of experience to this book of sermons for every Sunday of cycle B in the lectionary.
'Reading and enjoying Bill East's homilies for the Year of Mark made me think how simple a good homily is... Bill has had the generosity and courage to see share the fruits of his labours with us. I am sure that many will read and use this book with gratitude and joy.'- Terence Patrick Drainey, Bishop of Middlesbrough
The Way of the Cross offers reflections on the fourteen traditional stopping-places or stations which mark out a path by which Christians may walk in the footsteps of Jesus, identifying themselves spiritually with him.
Included in part two is a resource for more leisurely reflection on each station providing scriptural texts, and it brings us into the company of saints and mystics who have travelled this path before us.
