Archbishop Ryś about Kerygma as the encounter with living Lord
Please, let me call Your attention just to one - but in my opinion crucial - a moment of our reflection based on the Instrumentum Laboris. In the point 173 we read: All accompaniment is a way to introduce the call to joy and can thus become the appropriate place to proclaim the good news of Easter and foster the encounter with the risen Christ: a kerygma that «expresses God’s saving love which precedes any moral and religious obligation on our part; it should not impose the truth but appeal to freedom; it should be marked by joy, encouragement, liveliness and a harmonious balance» (EG 165) - the last piece is a quotation of Evangelii gaudium.
