What makes a great Catholic homily, and what goes into the art of delivering it well? Preach is a weekly podcast from America Media hosted by Ricardo da Silva, S.J., a Jesuit priest from South Africa, associate editor at America and associate pastor at the Church of St. Francis Xavier in New York City. Each episode features a preacher’s homily for the upcoming Sunday—specially recorded for a podcast audience—followed by a conversation between the preacher and the host. Together, they explore how the preacher reads and prays with the Scriptures of the day, and the inspiration and resources they draw on and rely upon that have come to make them some of the finest and most inspired preachers today.Read featured homilies and get daily Scripture reflections at: americamagazine.org/subscribePreach is made possible by a generous grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., as part of its Compelling Preaching Initiative.
