Abstract
The guiding principle that should accompany a homilist's interpretation of biblical texts in the liturgy is fidelity to the Bible and the Church, which has the mission of guarding and explaining the Word of God. This means that a homilist must use proven tools, including biblical hermeneutics. In the case of homiletical preaching, which takes place during a liturgical event, it is also a matter of taking into account that “the liturgical setting is an essential key to interpreting the biblical passages proclaimed in a celebration” (Homiletic Directory, no. 15). This article presents how to interpret the Word of God in the liturgy based on the example of the Fifth Sunday of Lent, cycle A. Taking into account hermeneutical principles makes it possible to emphasize the kerygmatic meaning of the Mass readings every Sunday.
