"Let us renew our confidence in preaching, based on the conviction that it is God who seeks to reach out to others through the preacher." - Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 136

It is this conviction that led Pope Francis to devote eighteen pages to the subject of the homily in his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium. In his usual style, the Holy Father not only provides pastors with practical advice on preaching, but he motivates, energizes, and inspires.

Now in Capturing Hearts with Your Homily, renowned preacher, author, and retreat leader Fr. Roger Landry examines Pope Francis’ words on preaching and invites you to:

Tap into the Holy Father’s enthusiasm for preaching
Set the hearts of your parishioners on fire with the Word by linking the message to the human cry for the light of the Gospel
See your parish become missionary disciples inspired by your homily
On this mutual journey as Catholics, let us grasp the true meaning and purpose of the homily in a whole new way. And capture hearts for Christ.
