Homilies Nihal Abeyasingha

Preaching during the celebration of the Eucharist has been a tradition in the Church from the earliest times, as witnessed to by the Acts of the Apostles. But the form of preaching has changed over the years. Pope Francis now considers it a genre of its own and this book tries to outline what he means by that. In addition, the present work also enters into the process of composing and delivering a homily, providing an outline of how to compose a homily, how to deliver it and how to enhance one's voice production for the purposes of oral proclamation of the Word. It is hoped that this contribution will make for better homilies that are a proclamation of the Word in the context of a celebration and lead to deep commitment in life and witness, Go in peace glorifying the Lord by your life. The authors of this work have been involved in pastoral ministry of all types for almost half a century. They have also contributed homilies to various journals in several countries.
