Homilia z udziałem dzieci
Homily with Children

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a dialogue in a homily with children. On the level of fundamental homiletics, it strongly emphasizes the liturgical nature of the homily and its organic relationship with the celebrated liturgy. In reference to the etymology of the Greek rootline, it presents a homily as God’s dialogue with the liturgical assembly is led by a homilist. In this way, he indicates that it is rather a dynamic event than a static instruction. The dialogue is its fundamental internal principle. Thus, two kinds of homily dialogue between the homilist and the listeners have been described – virtual and real with numerous ways of implementing them. The goal of a homily with children is ultimately introducing them into a dialogue with Jesus in the liturgy and into a salvific reality, not by entertaining them through various activating methods. The content of the homily dialogue may be children’s matters and experiences but the content of the message of salvation must always be clearly visible.
