Abstract

The article focuses on presenting a unique situation occurring in liturgical discourse when it comes to the ritual homily contained in the books of the Roman Pontifical. Its novelty is that the homily, which is normally a “derivative” text, in this case is also considered a “canonical” text. A homily from the ordination rites of a presbyter was chosen as an example of such a situation. The texts of both the pre- Vaticanum II’s Pontificale Romanum and the book after the reforms of Paul VI are presented, which is justified by the continuous use of both books, as well as by marking the changes that occurred during the liturgical renewal. The article in the first part presents the features of the ritual homily and the role of the bishop in its proclamation. The second part describes the phenomenon of liturgical discourse and the Roman Pontifical, followed by an analysis and evaluation of the texts of ritual homilies contained in both ordination rituals.

Keywords:
