Good. Spot on!! I like it and resonate with it. What I am unsure of is if the messenger is of poor quality should I change to find a better messenger or stick with it? If a particular pastor or someone like yourself challenges me to improve myself based on the message, or the community like ACM brings out the best in me am I to stay or go find something dull and drab? Perhaps your answer will be there are times in your life when you lead and when you are to be lead. We have to find where we are in the journey.

We had many years of dynamic priests and then some desert years. It’s difficult to remember the message and not get distracted by the messenger.

I’m sure many come and go to find that great preacher or choir. Let us try help build our church instead…supporting it in every way. Yes John, you truly have been inspired by the Holy Spirit. Thanks to all ACM writers…you all help strengthen our spiritual journey. God bless!

I’m finding that the pandemic has changed the dynamics of worshippers and going to Mass. I liked it when you said “turn your gaze upward”! In other words “be in the moment with Our Lord”! Good advice!!

When I find my mind drifting off because of a cheesy homily or can’t pick up the dialect of the priest/deacon, I just start praying for the souls of the faithfully departed.

I feel ACM is where I get some of the best homilies I’ve heard.
God bless all of you writer’s

great reflection. Yes, we need to focus our directon on the messsge and not the messenger. Sadly this happens in many parishes. May we remind ourself and fellow parishoners not to engage in this behaviour. What an honest reflection. God bless.
