Abstract
The second Vatican Council frequently emphasised the importance of preaching, especially homily. Even though 50 years have passed since the Council, this is still a current issue. Since the liturgy of the Word is an integral part of sacramental celebration, the signs present in the Divine Word must be attributed full importance in order to strengthen faith, as must be homily which is an emanation of the Word of God. However, this crucial element in the celebration of each Sacrament of the Church virtually does not appear in pastoral work. The desire of the Church in respect of homily is expressed chiefly in liturgic books for the celebration of Holy Sacraments. It is worrying that this issue is given little attention in Homiletic Directory . A frequent lack of homily in the administration of the Sacraments and a lack of detailed guidance in Homiletic Directory call for an exploration of this issue. The goal is to answer the question about the Church’s wishes regarding the place and content of a homily in the celebration of the Sacraments out of Holy Mass, expressed in liturgical books for celebration of the Sacraments and adapted to the customs of Polish dioceses.
