Elisha and the Shunemite Woman Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies

    • Christianity

Our first reading for this weekend is taken from the marvelous second book of Kings, and it deals with the prophet Elisha, who was the chosen successor of the prophet Elijah. The narrative is, on one level, very simple and charming, but it also presents a kind of icon of the relationship between priests and their people.
