Pope Leo XIV's homily style blends structure and theological depth with a focus on love, unity, and service, drawing comparisons to his predecessors, particularly John Paul II and Benedict XVI. He emphasizes Christ's love as the core of the Gospel, calling for the Church to be a "leaven" of unity and a missionary force that embraces the world. His homilies also highlight the importance of seeing with the eyes of the heart, empathizing with others, and taking responsibility for their well-being.

The Lincoln Homilies Project is a resource that originated with the diocesan Liturgical Committee of the Church of England to resource parishes for Sunday (or weekday) worship. Many smaller congregations might not have regular access to a priest or reader, and so this resource was created to enable people to engage with the scriptures without a licensed and theologically trained leader.
