I don't envy priests. Priests have tough jobs and often wear many hats. So, I try not to be too judgmental or annoyed when I hear bad homilies. But Pope Francis is right; sometimes the people in the pews really suffer from having to listen to mediocre homilies! In my opinion, a priest does not have to be a good speaker or a scholar to give a good homily (although that can help)....

Just listed to two of the homilies, the Priest from Boston and the Priest from Steubanville. Both are good. Imsaved the link to my favorites to listen to more.

I love a good homily and admit I hate sittkng through a bad one.

The homily is where I feel spiritually fed.

Me too. We might have to block each other saying that though.

It seems as if lots of priests post written or audio links to their homilies today. I'd look at the websites of nearby parishes to find some first.

I do think I would enjoy Cardinal Dolan--have heard him speak many times on the Catholic Channel.

The USCCB also posts video reflections by their daily readings page. Today's is by Fr. Don Miller, OFM.
