Liturgy 101 - Parts of the Mass #11
On Sundays and feast days , the reading of the Gospel is followed by the homily (sermon). This reflection on the Scripture readings, given by a priest or a deacon, is intended to show us that God’s Word is just as relevant for His people today as it has always been. A good homily focuses on the theme of the Scripture readings, helping us to better understand how to live out what we have just heard in the Liturgy of the Word.

I know for our family communion being first, the sermon is the foundation of our family's week.
