Choice

You have two choices: a bad homily or no homily at all. Say you have no other option short of skipping church. Why punish myself and skip the Eucharist because the preaching is mediocre. Do we not put up with mediocrity in other situations where we actually pu out money for better service or treatment? Think airlines.  So, I would choose the bad homily. Why? Well, I would bring something to read for spiritual meditation. We all know how to not listen. Anyway, mediocrity won't control me.
