Homily is the general synonym for a sermon. In the order of worship it follows the Epistle ( usually by Paul) and the Gospel- the sermon or homily concludes the first (act) of the Mass, the so-called Liturgy of the Word- the Liturgy of the Eucharist ( which builds up to the Communion) is the second act, so to speak. Usually a hymn is played right after the sermon, and then you have the offertory hymn and prayers of the Eucharistic rite.
