    Dear Father,

    I really enjoyed the ideas in the Homily. Keep on writing better and better homilies with newer ideas. May God Bless you. Thanks.

  2. I think part of the moral here too in your latter piece, Father, is that Oscar Wilde did not meet Jesus in the ‘Church’.

    He had to find Jesus in prison – Reading Gaol. There is a story in there somewhere that stills speaks to the Church today.

    Maybe with the imprisonment of the Church itself, so to speak, in some way that might be happening, it too will find Jesus and show the true compassionate face of Jesus to those it would continue to spiritually imprison.

    Those prison walls built by the church around his heart, keeping him in and them out, had to be smashed that the Jesus who felt sorry for, compassion for him, might enter in and show true compassion where it had not been shown before.
