Huia e huia, tangata kotahi! Huia, your destiny is to bring everyone together! Māori proverb Once the sacred guardian of New Zealand’s native forests, the huia was a symbol of the land’s unique beauty and spirituality. The rare bird’s tragic extinction in the early 1900s represents a shot to the heart of Aotearoa and is a potent metaphor for a country’s conflicted history. Using the story of the untimely extinction of the huia, Jay Ruka offers a fresh perspective on the narrative of Aotearoa; a tale of two cultures, warring worldviews, and the things we lost in translation. Revisiting the early missionaries, the transformative message of the gospel and the cultural missteps of the Treaty of Waitangi, Huia Come Home invites us to reconnect with the unique story offered by the indigenous Māori lens.

Through the use meaningful quotes and colorful examples, these homiletic reflections on the liturgical readings for the Sundays and major feast days of Cycle B are meant to inform, edify and inspire the faithful who read or hear them. The message is so clearly expounded and with such an economy of words – that the profound scholarship behind it never obscures the practical application to the everyday lives of the people to whom it is addressed. “In preaching retreats to priests, but also to religious and laity, I find today a great hunger among many to meet Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in the immediacy of deeper prayer in the Spirit. They are turning to commentaries on the revealed books of Holy Scripture. Priests, but also the laity, are searching for insights from homiletic commentaries for preaching, teaching religion or as aids to personal and group prayer. To them, I highly recommend this present volume.” – George A. Maloney, SJ. In the Foreword ..
