Homilies/letters of recent Saints included as Church liturgy

[Krisdun]

Could homilies or letters written by recent saints be incorporated into church liturgy during mass? I mean in addition to readings from the old testaments and apostolic letters? It could be a means of keeping the church more up to date with our times and as such our faith is always developing through the power of the Holy Trinity.

 

[OddBird]

Some more recent writings are sometimes part of the readings offered by the Office of Readings, one of the offices of the Liturgy of the Hours.

The readings at Mass are reserved for Sacred Scripture, because it’s God’s word.

 

[JohnLilburne]

The General Introduction of the Liturgy of the Hours at https://www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Resources/Rites/GILH.pdf includes:
“98. Except in the case of Christmas Night, the joining of Mass with the Office of Readings is
usually excluded, since the Mass itself has its own sequence of readings differing from that
of the Office of Readings. If on a given occasion it is necessary to do this, then Mass begins
immediately after the second reading and responsory of this Office, omitting everything
before the Gloria in excelsis (if this is to be said) or the opening prayer.”
