Day 11: The Homily

Pope Francis once said the homily is “ the supreme moment in the dialogue between God and his people”. Dr Sri asks, do we feel like the homily each Sunday is a real moment of dialogue and spiritual growth for us? Or, do we sometimes feel like it’s a good time to take a break? In today’s episode, we learn from the wisdom of Pope Francis and Mother Theresa on the role of the homily, and Dr. Sri offers advice on how we as laity can begin to encounter God through the homily.

How might viewing the homily as a dialogue with God change the way you listen and respond?How can you approach the homily with a deeper openness to hearing God speak personally to you?What helps you stay attentive and engaged, even when the message challenges or stretches you?In what ways can you cultivate greater humility and readiness to receive even a small insight from the homily?
