Prayers for Urgent Occasions Book

This book asked all the right questions and gave very unsatisfactory answers. That strength in itself, however, makes it a worthwhile read in an age where preaching is a custom "More honor'd in the breach than the observance."
Cameron encourages his reader, when preparing his homilies, to ask 'How is Christ happening to me now?', 'In what way is Christ breaking in on my life at this moment?' It is a method very much rooted in the thought of Fr. Luigi Giussani, which I appreciate, yet nonetheless this is one of those books where I found myself yelling at the pages in disagreement. His approach, to my mind, did not take sufficiently into account the rich Catholic tradition of scriptural exegesis, viz. the "four senses" of Scripture still spoken of in the Catechism, and thus I imagine the end result of Cameron's suggestions would be homilies that, while certainly more engaging and meaningful than most, would still fall far short of the great sermons of the Fathers and saints.
