But I think ti is easier for you to post them in audio format and I would not dream of adding to your chores! :-)<BR/>About why we blog, yes, my own blog is a huge creative outlet for me. And of course, an evangelizing tool!Ana Braga-Henebryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590301615909326119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356311314736604746.post-42080649318319607172009-02-16T18:30:00.000-06:002009-02-16T18:30:00.000-06:00Perhaps you could delve into the lack of respect t...Perhaps you could delve into the lack of respect the American Roman Catholic Church has for the Pope.<BR/><BR/>John Paul II asked us to say the St Michael prayer after each Mass. I have yet to hear it.<BR/><BR/>Bendict XVI comes to America and there's no mention during Mass. <BR/><BR/>The greatest weapon we have as Christians, to ward off evil, is prayer. Why donn't we hear that in Church?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356311314736604746.post-58179849354551464942009-02-13T22:47:00.000-06:002009-02-13T22:47:00.000-06:00Fr.

But you have to have a part of yourself in it (ie the writing for you part), and that's what's engaging. <BR/><BR/>You fear that others are already doing the same thing, and that's true...but at the same time, we always need MORE of us doing "the same thing". That's how the gospel is spread. <BR/><BR/>We all have different followers. It wasn't acceptable for Paul to come along and say that Peter was already preaching, why did he have a need? <BR/><BR/>But the more of us there are out there on the 'net, the more fish we can catch! <BR/><BR/>(Dang, mixing metaphors today!) <BR/><BR/>As to your more specific questions: I prefer written homilies mostly because at home I'm on dialup and it takes FOREVER for stuff to load, but text is quick!. <BR/><BR/>But, do what works for you. I love personal stuff (not necessarily deeply personal, just your own insights, etc.), because it's engaging and that's what helps to build relationships, which is what builds readership, which is what really gets the message out. <BR/><BR/>Just my 2 cents, for what they're worth in this economy!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356311314736604746.post-31335585427071177962009-02-13T14:37:00.000-06:002009-02-13T14:37:00.000-06:00I would like you to discuss theology as it relates...I would like you to discuss theology as it relates to current events.<BR/><BR/>Please continue this blog.

But if you aren't writing for you...it won't be good for anyone else.Pastor Joellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212838423929588352noreply@blogger.com
