Though daily Mass is held most frequently, resources for daily
homilies can be in short supply. In this book, Bishop Sklba offers
a rich collection of ideas -- fire starters -- for preparing brief,
spiritually nourishing homilies for daily Eucharist. Like building
a campfire, where one ignites the logs with more easily flammable
paper, these fire starters" are intended to provide the spark for
weekday homilies. God's Spirit provides the flame.
Each day, the biblical citations and summary phrases for the
reading and the gospel plus the refrain from the psalm are
provided. After each citation, Bishop Sklba offers a series of
meaningful insights from his expertise as a Scripture scholar,
prayerful study of Scripture, and many years of preaching and
pastoral experience. These brief entries provide knowledge and
inspiration that will stimulate personal prayer and spark homily
possibilities for the preacher every day.
"Fire Starters "will support anyone privileged to be called to
leadership at weekday celebrations of the Eucharist to prepare for
the important ministry of preaching.
"Bishop Richard J. Sklba served as auxiliary bishop of Milwaukee
