However, as Basil testifies in the above text, confession of faith precedes sacramental celebration, while sacramental celebration secures . Preaching at a wedding presents two unique challenges. Yet like all the sacraments, it too is an encounter with Christ. But care has been taken to ensure that many Old Testament texts of major significance would be read on Sundays. The unique nature of the homily is captured well in St. Lukes account of Christs preaching in the synagogue of Nazareth (cf. Divine Worship and Sacraments - Archdiocese of Cincinnati Once this is learned from the Jewish scriptures, the cosmic sign once again indicates the way. "They prostrated themselves and did him homage." 55. First, of course, is the place of the Word of God in the liturgical celebration, and what this means regarding the purpose of the homily (cf.

Finally, lectio divina concludes with contemplation (contemplatio), during which we take up, as a gift from God, his own way of seeing and judging reality, and ask ourselves what conversion of mind, heart and life is the Lord asking of us? 126. This reading is arranged in such a way that as the Lords life and preaching unfold the doctrine proper to each of these Gospels is presented. The first reading on that day is a brief passage from Isaiah where the prophet utters the well known line "the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel." The homilist should not feel the need to say something about each reading, or to build artificial bridges between them: the unifying principle is how Christs Paschal Mystery is revealed and celebrated at this liturgical gathering.

The responsorial psalm on this feast seizes on the words of Psalm 29, "The voice of the Lord is over the waters." A sacrament is a Christian rite that is recognized as being particularly important and significant. Can.

He then proceeds with a description whose details lead us to a further contemplation of the Cross, a contemplation that interlaces passion and passage, suffering and glory. The great masters of the spiritual interpretation of Scripture are the Fathers of the Church, who were for the most part pastors, and whose writings often represent their explanations of the Word of God given to the people during the liturgy. A paragraph taken from the Catechism of the Catholic Church can demonstrate its usefulness in preparing homilies, especially for touching on doctrinal themes that are directly rooted in the biblical text. Thus, as the assembly enters into the eucharistic mystery on this Sunday, the priest prays in the Prayer over the Offerings, "May the Holy Spirit, O Lord, sanctify these gifts laid upon your altar, just as he filled with his power the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary." The devil is tempting him to be a Messiah who displays divine powers. A tremendous treasure of interpretation has been accumulated through centuries of such liturgical celebration and proclamation in the life of the Church. And this too, the circumstances show us, is to be taken literally. In former times, the second reading reminds us, God spoke in partial and various ways through the prophets; but now, "In these last days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he made heir of all things and through whom he created the universe, who is the refulgence of his glory." The practice of lectio begins by taking into account this awesome fact. 22. "On the next three Sundays [of Lent], the Gospels about the Samaritan woman, the man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus have been restored in Year A. First, during the final weeks of the Church year we listen to the First and Second Letters to the Thessalonians, which treat of eschatological themes; these harmonize well with the other readings and the liturgical texts of these Sundays. From this living explanation, the word of God proclaimed in the readings and the Churchs celebration of the days Liturgy will have greater impact. 133.
