It would be nice if Faithlife would bundle up some of the Catholic preaching aids that it is and/or soon will be producing and put them together in a nice, easy-to-find, easy-to-buy collection. I imagine it might sell pretty well, too.

    Some are already bundled:  https://www.logos.com/product/43319/homilies-bundle 

    What other ones are you thinking of?

    Ideally, good ones that I don't know about yet! That is, in terms of new ones. As to what's already there, a bundle containing old and new (and, obviously, not limited to one publisher) would be good.

    Right now, the majority of contemporary homilies available appear to be highly social justice-focused. Social justice isn't a bad thing by any means(!), but I think it would be good to add some collections using other approaches.

    May I suggest something slightly off topic - a group of books integrating sermons into liturgy as a whole?

    • The Prayers of the New Missal: A Homiletic and Catechetical Companion by Anscar J. Chupungco OSB and J. Michael Joncas
    • Between the Ambo and the Altar: Biblical Preaching and The Roman Missal, by Guerric DeBona OSB
    • Preaching the Rites of Christian Initiation (Forum Essays) by Jan Michael Joncas
    • Sharing the Word Through the Liturgical Year by Gustavo Gutierrez
    • Preaching the Scriptures of the Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary by David Brown
    • Religious Involvement in Hearing Sermons: A Grounded Theory Study in Empirical Theology and Homiletics by T.T.J. Pleizier

    Here's another one, from Paulist Press, a Catholic publisher:

    EDIT:

    And there's also The Sacred Conversation: The Art of Catholic Preaching and the New Evangelization which is part of this bundle from Emmaus Road:
