GREAT HOMILY AT MASS TONIGHT
My pastor talked mostly about the saints and what they endured rather than give up belief in Jesus Christ. He talked about Paganism and how the early Christians refused to give in to the demands of the Pagans that they abandon Christian ways. Then he talked about the Paganism we have today in our culture and the subtle persuasion Catholics must endure in order to remain Catholic. And he talked about other countries where the faithful are sometimes shot because they are believers.
I paid a little more attention to just who and when reverence was paid to the tabernacle. Not only does my pastor reverence the tabernacle when he passes it, so do the servers during Mass. Makes the Glenmary missions priest we had last weekend look even more peculiar with his bow to the congregation and ignoring of the tabernacle.
