Toilet Paper
Some people say that my homilies are worthless because they don't talk enough about teachings of the Catholic Church, and the sacraments, especially repentance. I may indeed be worthless, but I am not forgettable. Years ago, as a recently ordained priest, I gave a homily in my Houston parish and used the image of toilet paper to make my point, whatever the point was. A young mother, now a grandmother, heard that homily. Now, some 40 years later, her daughter, who follows my blog, says Mom thinks about me every time she opens a new package of toilet paper. So there. People say that my homilies are poop, but memorable poop, as toilet paper will attest. Now what was that point? Well, at least I am memorable! Use the everyday to speak about grander things. It works, or so I have found.
