Oh I just loved all of this so much! It's always startling just how SIMILAR we are as humans through the ages ... These homilies (and the reactions) to them show this so well. Also interesting reminder how relatively new pews are! I always liked in Eastern Rite churches how mobile everyone is (so much easier with little ones). Maybe this is a lot more 'authentic ' to the early church than many might think. I'm definitely going to be putting that St. John epitaph on my mirror.
Great Post, thanks. I regularly read sermons of the Father's but nothing more recent so this is interesting. I really hate the modern practice of the anecdote sermon.
Excellent post, thanks for sharing. I have recently finished Orme's book on the Church in Medieval England, a therefore look forward to your upcoming release!

It's really weird sometimes to get that little glimpse into how little we've changed, though our circumstances and contexts change a lot!
Oh! St. Bernard of Clairvaux's homilies by season?! I'm sold.
You, interested in something seasonal? 😂❤️
Your book sounds lovely!
Thanks, Amy!
