The Deacon Preacher

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.

Here you will find articles and commentary on the art of preaching, the Lectionary texts and  resources that are free and can be downloaded. If you find this site useful, please let me know.
