I guess there's no accounting for taste . . . <br /><br />But 6 hours on a homily!! Well, I must say my first impression was how "solid" it felt. Must have been those hours of slogging away sentence by sentence. Of course, if you feel like torturing yourself, a totally different direction for tomorrow's homily might be even better ;-)!!

Even after I preached it at the vigil Mass, I thought it was awful and had started thinking of something else. Oh well. Shows what I know. Fr.

Pretty darn awesome.<br /><br />You threw in a bit of everything - current events, history, poetry...and even used the word "gibberish". For what more could one ask? About half-way through paragraph three I caught on to where you were going, with a light-bulb moment about this Gospel section. I personally appreciate when you take me somewhere I haven't been before, and cause me to think in a different way. You accomplished both with this homily. Final paragraph tied it all together nicely, leaving me with (as all your best homilies do)questions to ponder and answer for myself. <br /><br />Thank you!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485793986602894527noreply@blogger.com
