http://infogalactic.com/info/Doctor_of_the_Church#List_of_Doctors

(note that we recognize the doctors listed up to 1958; not that some of the others listed may not be holy people)

So I had this idea to compile sermon collections of the Doctors of the Church (and theology writings). Does something like this exist, an organized collection of links to such sermons, or is there an interest in such a list?

I guess it was an attempt to curate a list of some of the most edifying spiritual sermons, for education and inspiration.

Has this already been done in the discipline of homiletics, or are there compilation books from some of the writings of the Doctors of the Church?

(Another approach to this might be to find some compilations of "sermons for every Sunday of the year" and to compile some sermons for certain holidays, like this compilation by St. Alphonsus Liguori - https://archive.org/details/sermonsforallsun00liguuoft)

For example, for Easter (sermons by Church Doctors; note that I do not think they are, but the translations may be corrupted in some way, so this may require double checking to make sure something wasn't translated incorrectly - also that linking to these sites does not imply endorsement of other content posted on the sites):

St. John Chrysostom: https://earlychurchtexts.com/public/john_chrysostom_easter_sermon.htm

St. Athanasius: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/2806002.htm

Pope St. Leo the Great: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/360371.htm

St. Augustine: https://catholicism.org/st-augustine-easter.html

Pope St. Gregory the Great: https://catholicism.org/st-gregory-resurrection.html

Anyone find any others to share?
