Discernment and Interpretation of the Signs of the Times: Homily Exegesis of the Holy Spirit’s Action in the Life of God’s People

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the issue of discernment and interpretation of the signs of the times in the liturgical proclamation of the word of God. He points out that in the preparation of the homily, apart from biblical exegesis and liturgical hermeneutics, it is also important to analyze the anthropological life of the homilies’ listeners. It is a homily exegesis of the Holy Spirit’s action in the People of God. The signs of the times reveal His inspiration and action. Although they are not qualitatively equal to the Scriptures, they are, however, a specific speech of the world to the Church and a specific God’s voice to the Church expressed by the world. They express the needs and expectations of the current generation for God. In connection with this, postulating the evangelical discernment of the signs of the times, a personalistic Christocentric paradigm, a method and concrete determinants of this process are proposed, and conclusions for homily practices and homiletic didactics are suggested.
