Consider reading The Preacher: Servant of the Word of God, a pastoral note published by Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron, inidivudally or reflecting on it in a small group setting with brother priests or deacons. The pastoral note delves into the topic of preaching to advance the mission to Unleash the Gospel in Southeast Michigan. The Archbishop explores five points: 1) You can't bend cold steel, 2) The Gospel proclaimed at Mass is an event, 3) Focus on what Jesus is saying to saying to us today or asking of us today, 4) Never forget the all-important place of testimony, and 5) Offer the people some concrete way to respond to what's been said.
