The Vatican’s chief liturgist on why preachers need to take their homilies more seriously
Manage episode 399326184 series 2359720
Cardinal Roche opens the Lenten season on “Preach: The Catholic Homilies Podcast” with a heartfelt message taken from the Scripture readings for Ash Wednesday: “Come back to me with all your heart.” When asked by host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., why he chose the theme of “Welcome Home” and not to preach “in a heavier way,” to emphasize the penitential nature of the season, the cardinal, who is the most senior Vatican official to appear on the show, simply replies: “Well, because I think, really, that’s what Lent is all about.”
Cardinal Roche serves as the prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments and is a former chairman of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL). On the show, he not only imparts Lenten preaching wisdom but also shares his insights into Pope Francis’ synodal vision and emphasizes the need for preachers to meticulously prepare their homilies:
“I would say, really, take preaching—take your homily very, very seriously. And don’t be the person who looks on Saturday night to see what he has to say on Sunday morning.”
