As you may recall, last Sunday was a double-header for me — the patronal at St Nic’s, and Sunday morning Mass at St Michael and All Angels’. Since I usually take much of Saturday to prepare Sunday morning sermons, and because I had a full day Friday, I began working on both sermons Wednesday, advanced them Thursday, and had them mostly finished by the end of Saturday morning. This sermon, though, needed a bit of a booster shot, so I interwove the start with the end of a sermon I preached back in St Stephen’s House days. So if you’re an AKMA completist, you may remember some of the ending from a time before (but honestly, I’d be surprised if you did, even more surprised than I would be if someone really did gather up copies of my past sermons). Anyway, as usual, it’s below the fold.
