Summary/Abstract: Preaching the Word is one of the fundamental tasks of the Church. In his apostolic exhortation Verbum Domini, Benedict XVI reminded us that: “The homily is a means of bringing the scriptural message to life in a way that helps the faithful to realize that God’s word is present and at work in their everyday lives” (59). Anchoring preaching in the Holy Bible is a must if a preacher and the faithful are to experience the richness of the feast of the Word of God. The richness of the biblical readings included in “Rituals of the Episcopal, Presbyterian and Diaconal Orders” and used in a homily helps fully unveil the essence of hierarchical priesthood, its objectives and mission in the contemporary Church.
