Summary/Abstract: Homilies on prophet Ezekiel enjoyed great popularity especially in the Middle Ages because they were written in a simple style and were easy to read. They contained many allegories, mysti-cal passages and were morally instructive. The texts have a spiritual depth and provide the opportunity to reflect on the fullness of human existence. We have selected a short excerpt from the second book, first homily, chapter 17 and 18.
