Povoar e enquadrar by Maria Filomena Andrade, João Luís Fontes

“…Efforts to secure the settlement and ecclesiastical accommodation of the urban population went hand-in-hand with the gradual establishment in the city of various religious orders, some drawing upon previous eremitic experiences, others with a marked pastoral bias combining liturgy, preaching, and charitable acts. The very peculiar qualities of the city, possessed of an intense economic life, a growing population, a royal court that sojourned there with increasing regularity and for increasingly prolonged periods, attracted more and more people from diverse regions and stimulated the rapacity of noblemen and rich merchants who contributed to its rise as the capital city of the Kingdom. …”

Preparing a homily as an important element of pastoral care by Henryk Sławiński

“…The fruit of reflection and prayer is a homily characterized by Christocentrism, a positive message from which a moral call arises; it contains the teaching of the Church, actualizes the word of God, introduces the celebrated liturgy, and is single-thematic. Hence, in the pastors’ belief in the important role of the sermon and its reliable preparation, there is an opportunity to improve the quality of the homily. …”
