He has lectured in Bethlehem University, in Israel, and in the De La Salle University in Manila, in the Philippines, as associate professor of literature. He has published scholarly articles in various publications, and recently published a book of poems entitled The Last Irish Romantic, which has been generally praised by critics. He was ordained in 2002, and he has served as a diocesan priest for ten years, where the material in this book has been tested and proved. At the moment, he is on sabbatical, to pursue his writings. The fruit of that year is this work, and a book on the Sermon on the Mount, due to be published shortly. People in parishes where he has worked, have praised his homilies, and urged him to have them published. He has now done so, to help priests, catechists and lay faithful appreciate the liturgy more, and to delve more deeply into the immense riches of Christ that is contained in the three-year liturgical cycle. For as Orthodox Christians say, the liturgy is the chief educator of the faithful. He hopes that others will get as much pleasure and profit from reading this book, as he has got from writing it. For it was, above all, a labor of love; love of the Lord, of the wonderful liturgy, and of the people of God, who are privileged to attend the magnificent Sunday liturgies, given to us by the church. For in the liturgy we enter into something infinitely greater than ourselves, the eternal glory and holiness of God and of his Christ.view less
