Colores verbi et spes. Uwagi o retorycznym aspekcie kazań abpa Józefa Michalika

Abstract

According to the general opinion in Poland, hearing a good sermon seems practically a miracle. Arguing with the above view, this article presents a volume of sermons entitled: With Christ in the liturgical year, which appeared in October 2011. Archbishop Jozef Michalik is the author of thought-provoking and clever texts that can be found there. The article discusses the preaching characteristics of this Metropolitan Bishop of Przemyśl. What have been highlighted here are: the wealth of homiletic materials, openness of the sermons to the ills of a contemporary social life in Poland and Europe, the inclusion of listeners in the course of argument, reasoning and argumentation, an exemplary of sermons and a variety of rhetorical figures used in them.
