About this title

Synopsis

The homily is a primary way that pastors and deacons can communicate how the whole parish community forms the catechumens. Many parishioners are not aware of their role in the Christian initiation process. In Preaching Discipleship: Preparing Homilies for Christian Initiation, Michael E. Connors, CSC, provides homilists and catechists with the tools to evangelize not only the catechumens present, but also to capture the imagination of the parish community so that they too realize their own role in the Christian Initiation process.

Review

Preparing to preach takes time. Deciding on the theme is only the start. Constructing the homily requires as much imagination. So does its delivery. However, the hard work of preparation respects the lives of the faithful who are marking important moments of transition in their spiritual lives. These occasions deserve fresh preaching. The liturgical books do not give much direction on how to do it. But this book does. ...One of the professional drawbacks of priestly ministry is that we priests rarely get to hear one another preach. We re all preaching in different locations on the same day at the same time. Thankfully, this book contains a rich array of sample homilies. The author throws his own work out for your scrutiny, criticism and acceptance. It takes a confident and charitable preacher to do this. ...Preaching well at the liturgies of initiation will proclaim to all the community the mystery of faith, the call of God, the response of humanity, the growth of community, and the ever-pervading presence of the Body of Christ. It deserves attention. You will find it in this book. --From the Foreword, Fr. Paul Turner, STD, Pastor, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph MO
