The secretary general of the Synod of Bishops, Archbishop Nikola Eterovic, has announced the publication next year of a Directory of Homilies, an important tool that will help pastors prepare their homilies, which are supposed to “strengthen the faith, call to conversion and help people live out the paschal mystery in their daily lives.”
Commenting on the recent Synod on the Word of God which took place at the Vatican October 5-26, Archbishop Eterovic explained that the one who gives a homily is the first one who should heed it. “For this reason, everything possible should be done to ensure adequate formation, which should begin in the seminaries,” he added.
