Best Answer

On weekday masses a homily is highly encouraged but not mandatory. Thus a priest may lawfully choose not to preach on a weekday mass. However, on Sunday and on Holy Days of Obligation a priest is never permitted to omit the homily. A priest may choose to give a short homily, but it is never permissible to omit the homily.

Who besides a priest may proclaim the Gospel and give the homily at Mass?

Besides the priest, only an ordained catholic Deacon.Roman Catholic AnswerUsually the celebrant, the priest (or Bishop) presiding at the Eucharist, reads the Gospel, so the question should probably read: "who, besides the presiding priest (or Bishop) may proclaim the Gospel?" And the answer would be: any other concelebrant bishop or priest; or any other bishop or priest at the Mass; or a deacon. And only a bishop, priest, or deacon may ever proclaim the Gospel at Mass.

What is a love offering for the priest?

An offering is not required for any "Sacrament", the Priest may receive a gift, but it is not required. There is a set offering for an announced Mass stipend. ($15.00 in the Archdiocese of New York) for a Mass offered at a specified time, at a specified place, for one individual, living or deceased. The suggested offering for an "unannounced" Mass is $5.00. Such a Mass would be offered someplace, somewhere by any Priest, within a two year period of time. frptliny@yahoo.com
