I couldn't make it work this morning - but when I changed the way I read it, the words flowed much better... one of the disadvantages of only working from your written homily without hearing HOW your voice indicates the correct way to read (hear) it. <br /><br />I'm feeling much better, but my brain must not have caught up yet!

Appreciated the second...Good Monday morning homily! Appreciated the second paragraph, especially the reminder that what often separates "saving virtue" from "damning vice is compassion," with good explanation of how that might look in the Real World.<br /><br />I have one criticism, though, and I've seen this before in your homilies, but couldn't put my finger on what bothered me: the transition from para2 to para3 was jarring. When you do this, I start looking for the connection - I skim through until I find it. I think that if I were listening, my focus would be on listening for the connection and I might very easily miss what was said before I heard what I was waiting to hear. This is a perfectly valid way of writing, but for me personally it tends to shift my focus from what IS there (ie: what you are actually saying) to what ISN'T there (the perceived lack of connection). <br /><br />But once I got over that, and could relax knowing that there was a connection, it turned into a good homily :-).
