The homiletic activity of Joseph Ratzinger/ Benedict XVI is a rich body of documentary material, which complements the strictly theological activity of the former professor and later Roman Pontiff. The paper explains how Ratzinger/Benedict XVI conceives the homily. Some features of Ratzinger/Benedict XVI's homilies are: 1) the use of questions posed by the preacher, in many cases representing the community he is addressing; 2) the use of contrast and even paradox; 3) the expressions of I-Thou or I-You dialogue involving God and the listener. The seven chrismal homilies of Benedict XVI's pontificate are discussed, and especially some signs associated with the priesthood: the imposition and anointing of hands and priestly vestments.

Humor is outlined as a tool in the construction of a multi-referential speech, since it introduces, in the process of communication, the possibility of interpreting a message of a simple and reflexive way, from daily scenes and codes of the culture in which it is issued. This is the conclusion obtained in this essay, which was developed in the religious context, specifically during the homily or interpretation of the God's Scriptures, with the aim to study the role that plays humor in the configuration of a speech which is made to achieve the inculturación of the Gospel. In this regard, it is possible to indicate that with the employment of humor, a juxtaposition of messages is generated, seemingly opposite, such as the divine and the daily, which corresponds with th the divine and the daily, which corresponds with th the divine and the daily which corresponds with the theory of the bisociation in the communication. The intention is to call to the reflection by making available for the listener the opportunity to compare his reality with the exposition processes. From the methodological point of view, in this study it was used the analysis of the speech, which allowed to approach the homily of a barquisimetano priest and to study his suggestion from specific categories.
