Summary/Abstract: This article aims to organize theological issues regarding the preaching of the homily. It specifies concrete steps, which determine a correct explanation of mysteries of Jesus’ life for the listeners of the word of God. The study draws attention to the correct interpretation of the kerygmatic message. On this basis, further steps are built such as: right addressing of the message i.e. existential content of the homily, deepening of communicated mystery i.e. didactic content of the homily, expression of a moral recommendation i.e. a parenetic content of the homily and leading to experience of Christ in the liturgy i.e. mistagogical dimension of homily.
