Yet Another Homily

This is crazy. I was out in the country with my family, we were going to be late for church where we usually would go, but we saw a steeple and decided to see if there was a service that would work for our schedule. Amazingly enough, it was the type of church we were looking for, and the service would start in perfect timing.
We went in the side door and ended up at the very front of the church. My relative sat down in the front row in the church that we'd never even been to before. I can't recall having ever sat in the front pew at church before, so it was a new experience. It turned out to be quite the interesting church service. The priest was a young man. He spoke fervently and emphasized words, putting meaning into each one. That's rare. As time went on you noticed more and more how passionate this priest was. During the readings he would sit nodding in agreement with what the lector read. As he read the Gospel it was evident that he knew and firmly believed each word he read. It was inspiring. And then if you recall from my previous post, last week I heard an amazing homily. This week I heard yet another. This is crazy! God must really be trying to tell me something by sending all these amazing lessons my way!
This priest was amazing. He was animated, energetic, conservative, old school, current, and overall confident in everything he said. He talked like he was speaking to everyone in the room individually. He called certain things straight up evil. I admired him for this. It seems these days that everyone tries to defend everything. No one will let anything be completely blamed. I'm a fan over conservatism, so I did like this priest. He was straightforward. He told it like it was. He was honest. He didn't soften anything. And then he was true to positivity as well: Jesus loves us. Jesus forgives. You could tell he put thought into everything. He gestured. He didn't stand still. He made sure to capture everyone's attention. It's great to know that someone else out there gets it, that there's still hope in the world.
