Preaching the Mystery of Faith: The Sunday Homily
The document Preaching the Mystery of Faith: The Sunday Homily was developed by the Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life, and Vocations, of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in collaboration with the Committees on Doctrine, Divine Worship, Evangelization and Catechesis, Cultural Diversity in the Church, Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, Communications, and Canonical Affairs and Church Governance. It was approved by the full body of the USCCB at its November 2012 General Meeting and has been authorized for publication by the undersigned. Msgr. Ronny E. Jenkins, JCD General Secretary, USCCB
We offer this reflection on preaching to our brother priests, who, by virtue of presbyteral ordination, share in the apostolic office to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as to our deacons, who may preach the homily in accord with the provisions of canon law as ministers of the word. We also address those who are responsible for the formation and training of future priests and deacons as well as those who conduct continuing education programs for clergy, inviting them all to take to heart this reflection on the ministry of preaching in the context of the Sunday Eucharist in the special circumstances and needs of our time.
