A Grain of Wheat contains sixty-five of the sermons that Leonard R. Klein preached as a shepherd of souls. Formerly a Lutheran pastor, Klein entered into full communion with the Catholic Church in 2003 and was ordained a Catholic priest of the Diocese of Wilmington, Delaware, in 2006. With the exception of his last sermon as a Lutheran pastor, this volume draws from more than five hundred sermons that he proclaimed as a Catholic priest. Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. (John 12:24) The first four sections of A Grain of Wheat follow the liturgical Advent through Christmas; Lent and the Easter season; Ordinary Time; and Solemnities and Feasts. The fifth section offers an array of Occasional Sermons, notable among which are those given at funerals (including that of his daughter Renate) and at weddings. In the words of Christa Ressmeyer Klein, his wife and this volume’s editor, Fr. Klein was “a teaching preacher who coaxed parishioners to put on the whole armor of God and be equipped to lead holy lives.” A veritable feast of good and nourishing preaching, A Grain of Wheat is certain to sustain both those who hear the Word and those who bear the honor of preaching it.

Things As They Are

HORGAN, Paul

“Nothing,” declares Fulton J. Sheen, “is as relentless in unmasking a false way of life as war.” World War II exposed mankind’s collective failure to bring the tranquility of order from the wreckage of the “war to end all wars,” choosing instead to build again a godless world upon the unsure foundations of atheistic materialism, unabashed liberalism, and depraved communism. In these nineteen addresses, broadcast from December 15, 1940, to April 13, 1941, Archbishop Sheen confronts the irrational, irreligious and violent spirit of the age and exhorts the Western world to return to God with all its heart, “by prayer, penance, reparation, by rekindling in our consciences the justice of God, and by emblazoning before our eyes the Christ of Judgment.” 
Delivered with prophetic zeal and fierce honesty, War and Guilt shows the way to accept the reality of fallen nature and to acknowledge mankind’s burden of guilt with fortitude and humility, proving in the process that the Gospel slices more deeply than any sword, “reaching the very division between soul and spirit.”
