Summary/Abstract: This article presents homily as a space of leading to the encounter with Christ in the Eucharist. One of three primary tasks, which are appointed to the homily by the authors of the newest Homiletic Directory, is preparing community to celebrating the Eucharist and recognizing that they really take part in the mystery of Lord’s death and resurrection through it. Homilist should remember, that Christ is present in the Eucharist not only to be adored, but most of all to save human and worship the heavenly Father. The main task of the homily is to lead into this saving action of Christ, through showing the meaning of celebrated mystery. It is done by referring to the mystery of liturgical year which is recalled to in the Eucharist, as well as to the proclaimed word of God. Preaching which indicates the Christ’s saving presence in the liturgy will certainly preserve homily from moralizing fault.
