Most of the homilies were written for Sunday services. The series includes homilies given on the beginning of Advent, Christmas, Easter, Lent, Pentecost, the fourth Sunday after Epiphany, the fifth Sunday of the year, the 15th Sunday of the year, the 16th Sunday of the year, the Sunday of the Feast of Christ the King, Trinity Sunday, and homilies given on various feast days.
