The good news is spreading

News of the homilies written and published within these pages is spreading, and that's a very good thing.

I began sharing advance copies of the texts of homilies I've prepared with some new-found friends in Edmonton while we were conducting our 'friendly competition' for the sake of the famine relief efforts in East Africa and as of this morning, there is a link to some of my homilies (which are published in the pages of this blog every week) on the webpage of Celebrate! the liturgical publication that in its print form is disceminated in parishes throughout Canada, and beyond.

Over the next couple of weeks, the homilies in this parish (and probably in many other places throughout this country and even beyond our borders) will focus on helping people in the pews to implement the revised translation of the Roman Missal, and the directives contained in the new General Instruction of the Roman Missal.  The folks at Celebrate! have generously agreed to share copies of my homilies with others via their website, so that together we can help each other to make this translation as seemless as possible.

I for one am very excited about this new 'partnership': yet another way of spreading the good news beyond the walls of this church, to places throughout this country, and beyond.  More information about the implementation of the revised Roman Missal and the GIRM are also available on the parish website of the Church of Christ the King.
