Five Minute Sermons, Volume II. For Low Masses on All Sundays of the Year by Priests of the Congregation of St. Paul

** "Five Minute Sermons, Volume II" by the Paulist Fathers is a compilation of concise sermons designed for weekly Low Masses, offering spiritual direction and moral encouragement to both priests and worshippers. Originating from sermons given at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York, the book guides readers through the Church year with reflections on key liturgical events, with a special focus on readying the soul for sacred occasions. Beginning with the call to stir from spiritual sleep during Advent, these sermons urge believers to honestly assess their lives, renounce sin, and reaffirm their devotion to God; scriptural lessons and concepts such as the value of humility, penance, and the Immaculate Conception are explored to highlight the significance of moral strength and individual transformation in the Christian journey, while the introduction makes clear the book's goal: to lift the spirits of the believers and encourage genuine consideration of God's truth. **
