All of last week's gospel stories are intimately linked, so it was hard not to include it. Generally, my rule is: Preach the text in front of you. So, on this, we do not disagree.Fr.

After listening to and reading your homily, I do have a comment or two.<br /><br />"Let me suggest that there is a difference btw “believing that the Lord is risen” and “believing in the Risen Lord.”" - I liked that contrast and, since we are centuries away from the actual event, it really makes a difference. There may also be a difference in believing the truth and knowing the truth. To truly 'know' the Risen Lord would be to take that belief to the next level. Just my observation and what your homily prodded me into contemplation.<br /><br />One minor critique though. When you brought in a 2nd Gospel story - casting the net on the right side of the boat - I found it to be a little long in explanation. A quick synopsis may have sufficed. But that's just me. We were drilled to stay on one topic and not bring in other Gospels, but linking stories together is good and I don't follow the '1 Gospel, 1 Homily' rule either, especially if it helps make a point.<br /><br />God bless and KEEP PREACHING!Deacon Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307716334267839976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-87036322365506941752013-04-07T20:05:44.031-05:002013-04-07T20:05:44.031-05:00I don't. . .I almost took my recorder with me....I don't. . .I almost took my recorder with me. :-(Fr.
