Abstract

The proclamation of the Gospel is the essence and mission of the Church. It is implemented, inter alia, through a homily. It is one of the most important and responsible activities. The article refers to the most important indications regarding prophoristics in the documents of the Church and an example of contemporary preaching. The interpretation of the pericope of the healing of Simon’s mother-in-law (Mk 1:29–31) by Fr. Adam Szustak has shown a certain dissonance between the message of the source text and the words of the preacher. The over-interpretation of the text was reflected in several places and led to a distortion or even adulteration of the biblical message. The article deals with the still open problem of the actualisation of Sacred Scripture and responsible proclamation of God’s word.
