Your opening was attention-grabbing, and I thought the first paragraph did a good job of setting up the homily. The first line woke me up and invited me to listen. Much good and pertinent information, but I found myself wondering when you were going to get to the point. It seemed to me that the same message was repeated several times with different words throughout the body of the homily. Admittedly, the ending made up for that! Especially the paragraph beginning "Now, knowing that Christ's peace might require. . . ." That particular paragraph was, I thought, the strongest and most thought-provoking of the homily. <br /><br />Overall, I enjoyed listening and reading. I'll certainly think differently today during the Sign of Peace! And as always, thank you.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485793986602894527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-1160545253925894552013-05-05T09:00:43.764-05:002013-05-05T09:00:43.764-05:00Excellent adaptation!

I may have to borrow some of this for my upcoming Pentecost Homily!<br /><br />When I dug into Peace - Shalom in Hebrew - Shalma in Aramaic, I found a definition of completeness or wholeness in addition to the others and this lead me to the idea of being complete or whole with Christ. He wishes us to be as complete as we can be, wholly unified with Him so that He can live His life in us! <br /><br />I really enjoy your homilies, even if your laptop still isn't in yet!<br /><br />Shalma 'lekhonDeacon Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307716334267839976noreply@blogger.com
