“A church that doesn't provoke any crisis, a gospel that doesn't unsettle, a Word of God that doesn't get under anyone's skin, what kind of gospel is that? Preachers who avoid every thorny matter so as not to be harassed do not light up the world.” – Bl. Archbishop Oscar Romero

The Deacon who preaches brings a unique point of view to the pulpit.  The challenge is to remain fresh and focused on God's Word as presented in the liturgical texts.   The purpose of this site is to aid in the research, preparation and preaching of the homily.
