Summary/Abstract: Preaching as a way of realization of the proclaiming ministry of the Church is one of the fundamental tasks of its ordained ministers and the eminent part of the entire pastoral work of the Church. Pastoral activities are based on the proclamation of the Word of God and spreading of its message. The heart of pastoral work, the celebration of Christian mystery (especially the Eucharist) also comprises the proclamation of the Word. God’s message, included in the Word, is a permanent theological point and the source of inspiration in pastoral work. This article is a theological and evaluating analysis of the actual issues of the ministry of preaching in the present pastoral context.
