Comment on Homily- So what do we do now? by Olivia

Mike, I was sorry that I was away this weekend so was unable to hear this homily preached; however, even reading it is a deeply powerful experience. After a few readings, I am still struck by this statement: “There is nothing you can ever do to be unworthy in Christ’s eyes. Come to the table and die with Christ, and you shall be healed.” This sounds so simple yet if we do as this suggests, our lives will never be the same. Blessings.

Deacon Mike, I really enjoyed your Easter Homily at 11:30 mass.
Later that afternoon, when my children gathered for lunch, I brought up Kelly Mooneys Hallelujah. We sat and listened to it in silence. It words washed over all of us and we gave praise before we ate our meal. The empty plastic egg was very thought provoking.
God Bless.

Hey Deacon Mike,

I was really hoping to send your today’s homily to my friend but it seems to be missing from your website. Thank you in advance and I really enjoy your homilies.

I know how you feel- this could be the start of a whole new chapter by looking back to the 1200′s and this simple man named Francis.

Belated Happy Birthday, my friend. Just think — next year you get to join THE CLUB. I’ve been a member for two and a half years now, and it’s pretty cool — it even let me retire from my State job and spend my days with the infirm and the dying. So much more fulfilling thn the PR stuff! I hope you get to ease into retirement son!

Deacon Mike,

That’s amazing! It’s surprising that a Pope has not chosen this name before, given St. Francis’ heart for service, especially to the poor, which is one of the most important qualities for the Pontiff to have.

May the Lord richly bless Pope Francis I, and use him as a witness of God’s love, forgiveness and salvation to the whole world.
