A Study Edition · Pope Leo XIV

Babel or Jerusalem.

Scripture remembers two cities built by human hands. One rose in confusion, and its builders were scattered by their own pride. The other rose in hardship, gathered by hope and ordered toward the good. Pope Leo XIV sets that same choice before every reader who has ever asked whether a machine can think, decide, or take the place of what a person is for.

Every generation builds one of them, and this one is no exception.

Chapter by chapter, the study edition follows Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, and marks in every chapter which teaching binds the conscience and which judgment remains open to prudent discussion.

How the Press Works

Faithful to the Magisterium. Every Source Checked.

I

Scripture First

Every book stands on the Word of God, cited from the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition.

II

Doctrine Kept in Its Place

Defined dogma, theological opinion, and private revelation are marked apart, with the Catechism, the councils, the Fathers, and the saints cited by name.

III

Sources You Can Check

Papal and conciliar texts are quoted from the editions published by the Holy See, so every reader can go back to the source.

The Press promises no results and claims no approval it does not have. It offers the faith of the Church, and the company of those who have lived it.

Questions Readers Ask

Before You Begin

Where can I buy Homily Press books?

Every title is sold on Amazon.com as a Kindle eBook. Each button on this site takes you straight to the book's page on Amazon.

Do I need a Kindle device?

No. Kindle books open in the free Kindle app on any phone, tablet, or computer, a few seconds after purchase.

Are the books in Kindle Unlimited?

Magnifica Humanitas, Mary, Undoer of Knots, The Four Last Things, and Purgatory: God's Final Mercy are listed in Kindle Unlimited. The two newest titles, Saint Rita of Cascia and Saint Expedite, are sold on Kindle at $4.99. The Amazon page of each book shows its current availability.

Are the books faithful to the teaching of the Church?

That is the house standard. Each book rests on Scripture, the Catechism, the councils, and the saints, and marks defined doctrine apart from theological opinion and private revelation. The Press makes no claim of ecclesiastical approval it does not have.

Is there a book about Saint Rita of Cascia?

Yes. Saint Rita of Cascia: Patron of Impossible Causes follows the life of Margherita Lotti of Roccaporena, keeps documented history apart from pious tradition, and includes prayers and a nine-day novena.

Is there a book about Saint Expedite?

Yes. Saint Expedite: Patron of Urgent Causes sets out what can be known of the saint, the story of the crow and the hodie, the traditional prayer line by line, and a nine-day novena.

Do the books promise miracles or results?

No. The books teach what the Church teaches about prayer and intercession. Prayer asks and trusts, and no book of the Press promises an outcome.

Who is behind Homily Press?

Homily Press is the English-language imprint of Editora Homilias, a Catholic publishing house in Brazil whose portal publishes every day, at no charge, the liturgy of the Mass, a homily, and the prayers of the Church.
