Papal Homilies
In the Catholic Church, a homily is a sermon or speech given by a priest or deacon during Mass, typically after the Gospel reading. It serves to explain the scriptures and relate them to the lives of the parishioners, offering guidance and encouragement. The homily is considered an integral part of the Liturgy of the Word and is an opportunity to unpack the meaning of the readings and connect them to both the present and the life to come.
