"As a true preacher of the Gospel, Fr. Jeremiah offers meditations that are at once easily accessible and challenging. Using familiar Biblical stories, he asks, how is this aspect of the Gospel becoming concrete in my life? Where is the Lord inviting me to a yet more complete response? As the Gospel itself is "ever ancient, ever new," Fr. Jeremiah’s meditations are applicable both to those just beginning to pray seriously and to every disciple wishing to be renewed and transformed through an encounter with the Lord in His Word."
-Mother Mary Concepta, S.V., Superior General of the Sisters of Life.
