Preparation of a homilist for preaching the word of God is a complex process which covers his sphere of intellect, feelings and will. This issue is widely discussed by the fathers of the Church. It is not only the preaching of God's truth, but primarily a testimony to their life, since a homilist is a first listener. Personal prayer is indispensable in the preparation of a homily. The etymology of the Greek term όμιλία (homily) means a “communion with God”. A homily addressed to listeners, and its effectiveness, depend on the personal „communion with God” which should become a personal experience of the minister of the word of God. What becomes important is spiritual preparation of a homilist, where a crucial role is played by a careful study of the Scripture as well as personal prayer. Those two elements, rather than rhetorical skills, are the main driving force of the whole preaching. This kind of communion with God should be a continuous life disposition of a homilist, both at the preparation stage and during the preaching of the word of God.

Przygotowanie homilisty do głoszenia słowa Bożego to złożony proces, który obejmuje jego sferę intelektualną, uczuciową i wolitywną. Temu zagadnieniu wiele miejsca poświęcają ojcowie Kościoła. To nie jest tylko głoszenie Bożej prawdy, ale przede wszystkim świadectwo własnego życia, gdyż homilista jest także pierwszym słuchaczem. Modlitwa osobista jest nieodzowna w przygotowaniu homilii. Etymologia greckiego terminu όμιλία (homilia) oznacza „obcowanie z Bogiem”. Homilia skierowana do słuchaczy i jej skuteczność zależy od osobistego „obcowania z Bogiem”, które powinno stać się osobistym doświadczeniem głosiciela słowa Bożego. Ważnym staje się duchowe przygotowanie homilisty, w którym istotną rolę stanowi uważne studium Pisma Świętego oraz osobista modlitwa. Te dwa elementy, a nie talent krasomówczy, stają się główną siłą sprawczą całego przepowiadania. Tego rodzaju „obcowanie z Bogiem” winno stanowić stałą dyspozycję życiową homilisty, zarówno na etapie przygotowania, jak i w czasie głoszenia słowa Bożego.

Reflecting upon the relationship between prayer and work the Author of the article refers to the well known Benedictine formula “ora et labora”. It is to emphasize that both, prayer and work should find a proper place in a Christian’s life. Since the accents can be optional, the Author claims that within the incarnational spirituality the lay Christians may identify themselves rather with the reverse order of this formula: “labora et ora”. However we should never separate these two options neither put them in the form: “ora sive labora”, which has been provocatively used in the title of this paper. The true masterpiece of the lays’ life is to perform duties of Martha in the spirit of Mary, which does not necessarily mean the focus on God during one’s work. It’s often even impossible. The work itself done professionally and with the proper intention can become a form of ontological worship, unless one would neglect the prayer itself. Nourished with prayer the theologal love makes all activities a form of adoration of God, transforming life into the constant prayer.

The article presents the problem of Jesus’ prayer both from the theoretical and practical side. It consists of several parts: an explanation of the concept and validity of this type of prayer, a brief presentation of its history, the transformation of structure, main elements, stages, practice and me- aning for spiritual life. The elaboration of the topic was made through analysis and then the synthe- sis of selected documents of the Church and publications on the Name of Jesus and the prayer with that Name. It was stated, inter alia, that Jesus’ prayer is a Trinitarian confession of faith, expresses the love for Christ, enables the activities of the Holy Spirit; brings inner peace, joy, warmth, li- ghtness. Jesus’ Prayer eases self-control, enlightens, permits a person to penetrate into the depths of God’s mysteries, reveals the meaning of Sacred Scripture, causes the person who is praying to consciously stay in God’s presence and to open himself to the saving presence and saving action of the Resurrected Christ. The awareness of God’s presence is in itself motivating to live for Christ.
