A FURIOUS SERMON

I know guys are wondering why I am not making any entries in recent past and I got no reason to justify. I was out to a little parish in Central Italy for the first Sunday Advent Mass and you can expect the old traditional advent homilies … things like waiting… expecting… hoping or whatever and then the expected boring explanations over the dry theological and biblical exegesis. Let me tell you what? This old fashioned priest unexpectedly came up with a surprise and disturbing questions. After having described the horrible things going on around the world, he asked the most sensible question: what am I refusing to expect? What am I refusing to see? What are you allowed to expect? Do you pretend to have solutions to all the problems? Who is playing the game? Well, I rather leave everyone with the same soul searching question: what is wrong out there? Who is responsible for the hopeless situation around? Don’t tell me that God has changed his mind. He made one foolish decision and he will honour it, he will not change, never. He will honour HIS - I am not sure of MINE.
Listening to Kelly Clarkson “Because of you” I am sadly thinking of a family, crumbling in their relationship and wandering why so many such promising families get crushed - because they refused to see… see what? I guess there is a CAUSE and I am praying that you SEE.
… isn’t it troubling? Listen to the video music
