A selection from the Sunday homilies given by Fr Peter Steele sj at Newman College, Melbourne, and Georgetown University, Washington. Peter Steele is well known for his essays and poetry. The homilies cover an extraordinary range of subjects, from Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons, to Shakespeare's Richard II; from the story of the Prodigal Son to the image of Neil Armstrong first stepping onto the moon; from Albert Camus to what it means to say 'yes' to the Creed; from Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels to St Paul's letters; from a small travel agency named Please Go Away to the nature of heaven.

No matter what the topic, Peter Steel offers bread that we can take away for the journey, words to help us navigate a right path in our lives.
