"The fact is, most of us have to endure Sucralose sermons along the lines of "It's good to be good and it's nice to be nice."
Sorry to hear about it. We've getting some good, fiery homilies lately; Father has been on a roll. Been all I can do to stay seated and refrain from cheering.
Wow, I'm glad to hear that! Years ago I heard a sermon --- one sermon --- that changed my life. It's amazing how effective a good, teaching priest can be. Doesn't have to be flashy eloquence (although I can appreicate eloquence, too.) But just heartfelt, thoughtful, challenging, Christ-loving: you can think about it for literally years later. It is like water in the desert.
