It is the first recorded sermon by the Prince of the Apostles who preached immediately after the reception of the Holy Spirit.

The homily 'is the communication of the word based on the Word of God in the scriptures, spoken within the context of the sacred liturgy, and directed to the building up of the faith and sanctification of God's people in the Church'. Kerygma seeks to initiate Faith among nonChristians, while the homily addresses itself to those already possessing the Faith.
