Welcome to Homiletics for the Liturgical Seasons.

This course invites you to proclaim the Good News that the infinite creative Spirit of God continues to speak through the Living Word proclaimed in the liturgical life of the community. There are six sections:

1. Advent-Christmas
2. Lent
3. Tridiuum, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil
4. Easter Season and Pentecost
5. Ordinary Time and Special Feast Days
6. Weddings, Ordinations and Celebrations of Life

In Acts, chapter 2 , we read that on Pentecost, all were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they made bold proclamations as the Spirit prompted them. "The good news of the in-breaking of the reign of God , writes Mary Catherine Hilkert O.P. "includes not only the message proclaimed, but also those who are chosen as messengers to announce the mystery of God and God's ways. The Spirit's prophetic gifts are distributed widely to daughters and sons, young and old... and these gifts include charisms for prophecy and exhortation."

This course focuses on offering a wide array of resources to raise voices in homily starters that engage the homilist and gathered community in a conversation about living in the fullness of divine love in word and action according to the teachings and inclusive example of Jesus in our modern world.
