Here is excitement and enthusiasm about preaching. This montage of presentations, conversations and interviews will expand the viewer's vision of justice and provide practical pointers for honing and improving preaching skill. It inspires homilists to give the assembly what it is entitled to, desires and needs.

How can our homilies both encourage and challenge our communities to live justly in a challenging time? How can we preach about justice without using jargon and cliché? How can we recognize and name the power of sin and injustice in the world? Where do we find the even greater power of grace, love and reconciliation?

These and other questions are explored by Walter J. Burghardt, John L. Carr, Kathleen Hughes, Raymond B. Kemp, Leo Murray and Sarah A. Sharkey in a “Preaching the Just Word” retreat/workshop. We are presented with a biblical view of justice–the right ordering of all relationships: with God, with our brothers and sisters, and with the earth. Beginning with the scriptures and building on the Catholic tradition of social teaching, we see how justice takes shape in daily life.
