While there is no specific feast in the liturgical year that celebrates the preaching of Jesus, the Liturgy of the Word each day recalls Christ's preaching. Father Canatalamessa comments that 'mystery' refers to 'an event in the life of Jesus that conveys a salvific meaning and is celebrated as such by the church in the liturgy.' Cantalamessa discusses why and how the Liturgy of the Word is 'nothing other than the liturgical actualization of the preaching of Christ.'
