The response to that homily was so positive (and not just in terms of reaching children) that I wondered if I should preach it at the 6:30 p.m. Mass. Just before the deacon proclaimed the gospel at that Mass, I made a decision to go with the 4:00 homily. The response after that Mass (not a big kid's Mass) was even stronger than after the 4:00 Mass. At that point, I decided to preach the same (4:00) homily at Midnight. (A visiting priest presided and preached at the first Mass on Christmas morning and a deacon preached at the second.)<BR/><BR/>I don't have a text for the 4:00 homily and it included some visual material that would be difficult to reproduce online here.<BR/><BR/>And that's why my Christmas homily isn't on my blog.Concord Pastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18322127779647130869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-73821686586184239072008-12-28T20:14:00.000-05:002008-12-28T20:14:00.000-05:00A loyal reader writes:Did I miss the Christmas Hom...A loyal reader writes:<BR/><BR/>Did I miss the Christmas Homily or did you choose not to post it?
