For Holy Week here’s Fr. Llorente’s homily, LAS TRES PASIONES DE CRISTO, from April 1, 1998. Side note of interest: When asked about the reading of the Bible, Fr. Llorente would counsel that the reader start with a biography of our Lord Jesus Christ. Over time he mentioned two works, 1) Bishop Fulton Sheen’s Life of Christ, written in English (~200 pgs.) and translated into Spanish (the latter out of print) and most recently, as he did in this homily, he recommended the work by fellow Jesuit Fr. José Luis Martín Descalzo, Vida y Misterio de Jesús de Nazaret (~1,000 pgs.).
