My experience here tells me that people are hungry for teaching. Of course, a homily can't just be a theology/philosophy/history lesson. . .but folks here seem to appreciate it.Fr.

Final paragraph especially - though it took me a couple of tries with the final sentence, to make it work and complete the build-up you had going.<br /><br />This weekend I got "stuck" on the Lord's Prayer: I kept getting called back to "Our Father", meditating on Our Father, Our Father - My Father (it took me awhile before I could finish the prayer)....so your line: "...all given the delicate but arduous task of being the Father’s Christ in the world" really pulled me in. <br /><br />Thanks!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485793986602894527noreply@blogger.com
