Although I read much of what you write, CP, I rarely comment. Today I even made up a name for commenting. I didn't have time to comment on your homily on Sunday and didn't get back to it until today. I'm happy for the delay because my homily comment now comes after reading your MMO. I too have felt the sting of realizing my words have hurt instead of healed. It doesn't take away the sting of that experience, whatever it was that happened, but I've wanted to say since Sunday that your homily was one of the finest I've ever read. You've had many gems, CP, but this was certainly in the top 10 for it's precision, simplicity, and it's piercing of the dead center of the target. I believe God's Word and your words were aligned beautifully and you spoke as a prophet, giving your readers and hearers a clear and direct instruction that, if heeded, will both deepen a relationship with God and make God's presence more visible in our world. Well done, CP.CP Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11045010873948927714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-68295686113595207992009-07-13T08:15:00.052-04:002009-07-13T08:15:00.052-04:00Why is it so hard for us Catholics in America to e...Why is it so hard for us Catholics in America to evangelize and be prophetic? Is it our immigrant heritage? Are we just trying to "fit in" and be part of the mainstream culture? No answers from me...just a lot of questions...and some soul searching.Mike Jnoreply@blogger.com
