Coherence of Homilies and the Paschal Mystery. Analysis Based on Selected Texts of Stanisław Czerwik’s Preaching

Achieving coherence in the communication is one of the key qualities of the homily. The creation of such an utterance requires a lot of efforts, including the use of a compositional principle that is as solid as possible. Such a criterion has managed to be indicated in the preaching of Stanisław Czerwik. The author not only built a recognisable construction in the form of the so-called ‘paschal principle’, but nevertheless maintained theological correctness in the ministry of the word. The article presents the results of an analysis conducted on 1,043 texts of published and unpublished homilies. In the first part, the paschal principle will be present in Cherwik’s homilies. In the second part, it will be analysed from the perspective of building the coherence of the speech.
