The other day in Presiding at the Eucharist class, the instructor corrected one of the guys who was using an older Sacramentary. At the words of institution, he said "for you and for all men" … the word "men," of course, having been omitted years ago. Someone said "well, 'men' means everyone," and the instructor… Continue reading For you and for all [men]…

Singing During a Homily
As you may know from my last post, I decided to sing parts of the Exsultet in my homilies last weekend. That was a controversial decision for me; since I was thinking better of it after I had made the decision. One of the parish staff members was good enough to share her own reaction… Continue reading Singing During a Homily
Fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday): Rejoice!
I preached two different homilies this weekend: one for the regular Sunday (Cycle B of the Lectionary) and the other for the Second Scrutiny (which uses Cycle A of the Lectionary).

Reconciliation Practicum, Day 1
I heard my first “fake confession” in my Reconciliation Practicum class today. I have to say it was pretty scary, but also an awesome feeling at the same time. It brought me back to a time probably eight years ago or more now, when I was going through a crisis of faith. I thought seriously… Continue reading Reconciliation Practicum, Day 1
