Food For Our Journey: Homilies Volume I: The Desert Experience

Food for Our Journey, Volume 1, is a collection of Sunday and weekday homilies given during the season of Lent, Holy Week and Easter Sunday in the year 2020. In the Catholic Tradition, Food for Our Journey has many connections. It evokes what God did for the people during the Exodus (Ex. 16) - He gave them manna to eat every day in the desert. This daily feeding was a matter of life and death for the people of the Exodus. As Bishop Gordon writes: For many people plunged into the desert of the COVID-19 pandemic, the daily bread of the word was a gift from God that sustained us on our journey. Every day, I was fed by the word. Every day, I fed the people. For Bishop and people it was, indeed, food for our journey.
