Fr Bill East has produced a second volume of homilies, Good News! Preaching in the Year of Mark, published by Dominican Publications, Dublin.

Bishop Terry writes:

‘Reading and enjoying Bill East’s homilies for the Year of Mark made me think how simple a good homily is. All it takes is a good soaking in the Word of God, a quiet heart to pray through it, a mind attuned to the Spirit to ruminate on it, a life-time of experience to reflect on it, a pastor’s skills to apply it and a smattering of culture to illustrate it. Quite simple really! Added to all that, Bill has had the generosity and courage to share the fruits of his labours with us. I am sure that many will read and use this book with gratitude and joy.’
