Homilies

Homilies are spoken or written messages, often delivered by religious leaders like priests or pastors, that interpret and reflect on scripture or spiritual teachings. Their purpose is to help the listeners understand how these ancient texts relate to everyday life, offering guidance, encouragement, or moral insights. Homilies aim to foster spiritual growth, reinforce faith, and inspire ethical behavior by making religious ideas more accessible and relevant to the congregation's personal experiences. Essentially, they are sermons or remarks intended to deepen understanding and connection to one's faith.
