What I Do NOT Want To Hear During a Homily
Sunday, June 29, 2008I was raised a Catholic, and has kept the custom of hearing mass every Sunday. Though it doesn’t seem like it, I find satisfaction listening to the gospel regardless of the fact that this was the same gospel about a year ago (and even a hundred years before that) because even if the priest delivers the Gospel as if it was a homework, it’s cool to realize that the principles are still applicable even at present–after 2000 years from the time those were established.
It’s quite amazing how some priests are able to make the Church appreciate that. They will tell stories more or less related to the Gospel to prove a point, and make you realize what all these are for. Some people tell me that I have a knack of knowing the right things to say. When listening to a priest’s homily I can sometimes imagine me under the vestments and speaking in front of the people. I was trying to discern if this is a calling, but then I realized that they’re celibate, so no, thanks. Haha!
Unfortunately, not all priests have the same charm (or the same public speaking skills) and though I can tolerate those, there are things that some priests would utter remarks that I sometimes want to grab the mic and lambast him for being such a hypocrite.
Keep blogging. You have interesting posts. God bless
