The weight on your priests
Your priests carry more every year. Preparation is what gets squeezed.
More to preach
Sundays, daily Mass, funerals, weddings, school Masses. Often in more than one parish, and in more than one language.
Less time to prepare
Sacraments, hospital calls, administration and meetings come first. The quiet hours with the readings come last.
The faithful are listening
For many Catholics, the homily is the one time each week they hear the faith opened up for their lives. It deserves preparation.
Preparation for preaching is so important a task that a prolonged time of study, prayer, reflection and pastoral creativity should be devoted to it.
What your clergy see
Their own homily, from this Sunday’s readings, in minutes.
A priest chooses the occasion, his congregation, the length and the language. The tool builds a faithful draft in his voice, then reads it again for doctrine before he ever sees it.

How it stays faithful
Built inside the faith of the Church. Not added on afterward.
A bishop should be able to ask how it stays faithful and get a precise answer. Here it is.
Anchored in the Church’s own sources
Every homily is built from the Lectionary readings for the day and held to the Catechism, the Magisterium, and the Church’s guidance on preaching, including the Homiletic Directory.
Defined doctrine is never softened
The Real Presence, the sacraments, the Marian dogmas, and the moral law are presented as the Church teaches them. Dissent is never offered as an option.
No invented quotations
Nothing is attributed to a Pope, a saint, or the Catechism unless it is certain. When in doubt, the draft paraphrases instead of citing.
The homily belongs to the ordained
At Mass the homily is reserved to a priest or deacon (canon 767). Teachers, catechists, and other lay leaders receive a Scripture reflection, never a homily.
A second, separate reading
After each draft is written, a separate review reads it against Church teaching and flags anything to look at, with the reason and a faithful rewording.
No partisan politics
Homilies stay with the Word. Prudential questions are never presented as doctrine, and nothing partisan is put in a preacher’s mouth.
The Holy See’s note Antiqua et Nova (2025) asks that AI be used as a tool in service of the human person, never as a substitute for him. That is the whole design: the priest remains the homilist.
A promise to your priests
What a priest writes stays his.
The diocese sees how many homilies were prepared each month. Never what they say.
We don’t keep a library of your clergy’s homilies, and drafts are not used to train AI models. A tool priests trust is a tool priests use.

Questions a diocese asks
Good questions, plainly answered.
Does this replace a priest’s own preparation?
No. It helps him begin: it reads with him, offers an opening, a structure and a closing, and leaves the prayer, the voice and the final word to him. The priest remains the homilist.
How do you keep it faithful to the Church’s teaching?
Every draft is held to the Catechism, the Magisterium and the Church’s guidance on preaching, and never invents a quotation. Then a second, separate review reads the finished draft against Church teaching and flags anything to look at, with the reason and a faithful rewording. No automated tool is infallible, which is exactly why the priest stays the homilist and every draft is his to pray with and revise.
Who can see what a priest writes?
Only the priest. The diocese sees how many homilies were prepared, never what they say. We do not keep a library of your clergy’s homilies, and drafts are not used to train AI models.
Are deacons included?
Yes, at no charge. The diocese pays per priest; every deacon in the diocese is included.
What about catechists, teachers and youth ministers?
They can use it for Scripture reflections in classrooms, retreats and catechesis. At Mass the homily is reserved to a priest or deacon (canon 767), so for lay leaders the tool always writes a reflection, never a homily.
Will our diocese’s name appear anywhere publicly?
Not without your approval. Previews are private, unlisted and hidden from search engines. Your name and seal appear publicly only after the diocese approves it in writing.
How is it billed?
$9.97 per priest per month, invoiced once a year and timed to your fiscal year. No credit card. The 90 day pilot comes first and costs nothing.
Picture every parish in your diocese, any Sunday of the year, hearing a homily that was prayed over and prepared.
