The homily is said at Mass to provide a deeper understanding of the Scriptures read during the service, relating them to the lives of the congregation. It serves to inspire and instruct the faithful, helping them to apply the teachings of the Gospel to their everyday lives. Additionally, the homily fosters a sense of community by engaging the congregation in reflection and discussion about their faith. Overall, it enhances the spiritual experience of the Mass.
