It worked out nicely, because right after the homily he called us (the candidates and catechumens) up for a blessing before dismissal, as usual. Before praying the blessing, though, he reiterated the 'following Truth wherever it leads us' and mentioning that some of the RCIA'ers were making a very difficult decision in considering becoming Catholic: that some of us were risking the loss of friends and family members through the process. Very poignant.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous, you should go check out my church's web site (www.stanastasia.org) - I think they post my priest's homilies as sound files. I know they tend to be way behind on posting the text (last I checked they still had his Christ the King homily up!), but he's an excellent pastor and homilist. He and Fr. Fox make a great inadvertent tag-team! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1168134033885410072007-01-06T20:40:00.000-05:002007-01-06T20:40:00.000-05:00If only every priest would speak like you do! what...If only every priest would speak like you do! what a great homily. I happen to never really hear homilies like this. Our priest usually just retells the reading and gives a history lesson. It never extends to how the gospel reaches us in this day and time. Thanks for sharing your homilies on line I always check in to "hear" a great homily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
