Those who are allowed to speak to the same listeners for many years will - adapted to today's lifestyle - preach briefly and as memorably as possible, with a clear message and in generally understandable language. As a former Trappist, I am not good at using many decorative words. As a former moral theologian, my intention is always to offer impulses for practical life. Moreover, because of the more or less constant number of listeners, I try to proclaim the Good News in a varied and contemporary way, so that something of the fullness of the Catholic faith can be seen. The present cycle of sermons should make this clear.
