TL;DRAbstract
The article presents the principle o f analogy in contemporary Polish Catholic homilies addressed to children. Searching for an analogy between a liturgical text and human life is a very important element of a homily as a variant of a sermon, especially a homily to children, because the main aim of this type of sermon is discovering what a sacred text (the Bibie) says to contemporary man. The article is based on over sixty homilies for children \nrecorded in Cracow Catholic churches in the years 1994-2005. For comparison a similai number o f homilies for adults were used. In the paper different morę or less conventional ways o f reference to human life are discussed. It appears that preachers very often use cognitive schemata, for example so called scripts and scenes, to facilitate understanding. At the level of language these schemata may be a basis of multiword expressions that have a \nconstant function in a given text type and that occur repeatedly in the same situations. T
