All I can say is your congregation is SOOOO lucky to have you. If there were a show called "priest-swap" I'd sign you up in a heartbeat. In my archdiocese, there are usually two kinds of homilies; 1. those that always contain the word "love" in every other sentence to the point where you end up scratching your head at just how applicable it was to the gospel reading in question. 2. those that drone on and on about the priest's personal hobbies or study of interest culminating in a 20-minute reading from St Gregory Palamas on which vegetables should not be overboiled. I'm sure you can guess which homilies coincide with which liturgies.<br /><br />I'm sorry for sounding rude. But I just really appreciate how well you connect with people, even virtually/over the internet and I guess it's just sour grapes that there aren't more like you to go around.Qualis Rexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-65314976520076612372010-03-04T19:33:02.130-05:002010-03-04T19:33:02.130-05:00Thank you, friends, for your encouragement.Thank you, friends, for your encouragement.Brother Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780326836452864455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-69478590976167243622010-03-04T18:54:00.482-05:002010-03-04T18:54:00.482-05:00Simply said, I enjoy reading your homilies.

C! <br />your homilies have always been great. i have noticed the change you speak about in your post. it is obvious that you do spend time preparing and reflecting and that's probably why they change over time. you always leave us with something to reflect on and act on, which is a good thing in a homily, because we should be challenged to grow and change in our Christian life. thank you for all the inspiration you give in your homilies and also the inspiration you give just by being you!
