The Passions And The Homilies From Leabhar Breac Part 1 is a book written by Robert Atkinson in 1887.

The texts in the book are divided into two parts: the Passions and the Homilies. The Passions section of the book contains narratives of the sufferings of saints and martyrs, including St. Patrick, St. Brigid, and St. Columba. These narratives were intended to inspire piety and devotion in the reader. The Homilies section contains sermons and teachings on Christian doctrine, morality, and ethics. These texts were intended to instruct and edify the reader, and to provide guidance on how to live a virtuous life.
