Its a sad fact, but so many priests give very light an uninspiring homilies all over the world and people are just passing through Mass and taking noting from it. God Bless the Fathers of Mercy who preach such important homilies. They tell us what we should hear and not what the faithful want to hear. We need to hear the truth from priests even if its hard to take. The world is in serious need of truth. Gods Truth.

[@SheriffWalt]

"just passing through Mass and taking nothing from it". I encourage you to re-evaluate your trend of thinking and also to pick up the Catechism and read it. Many of the holiest and greatest of our Lord's Saints, Padre Pio for example, seldom gave a sermon. It is not a requirement to have a valid full Mass. The priest is not an entertainer or presider, nor is the Mass to be focused, in any way, on the presence of the priest. He is a struggling sinner, striving for perfection, just as all of us who portend to be Catholic are. We are present at the foot of the Cross at Calvary at each and every Mass celebrated. The Mass is the greatest, most profound event that occurs in the universe, or will ever occur, aside from the initial crucifixion of Our Lord. Daily reading of the Bible and the lives of the Saints are highly valuable for continuing nourishment and "education" as our journey continues and may end at any time. If the weekly sermons come up short, in your measure, I encourage you to establish a daily regimen of spiritual reading and even self Bible study. God love you.

[@josephlopez2138]

@@SheriffWalt I have to say, I agree totally with you. St. Alphonsus used to say that we have to have a regular, or even everyday spiritual reading, because we can't always hear sermons for our souls or even spiritual guidance in a regular basis. Moreover, the Mass is indeed not an entertainment, it's the renewal of Christ's sacrifice on Calvary. However, I have to agree with Ronan here as well, he's in fact sort of true in the sense that modern priests give sermons that doesn't bring any fruit to the faithful because it is either the aiming towards the spiritual life of the soul is too blur or weak, or not even aimed at all. I'm not saying every priests are like that, but sadly these kind of priests exists.

This is the Best sermon I've heard on making Prayer a Priority. Go pray directly to Jesus. Even saint Dysmus prayed to Jesus

[@imcat-holic10]

Dominic the Carthusian (St. Alban, near Treves, about 1410) promoted a rosary of fifty Hail Marys and 50 Vita Christi clauses. The clauses were references to the life of Christ (e.g., the conception by the Holy Spirit) added to the Aves. Alain of Roche (or Alanus de Rupe, second half of the fifteenth century, Dominican, Douai/France) established a brotherhood of the rosary (Confraternity of the Psalter of the Glorious Virgin Mary, around 1470) which was instrumental in disseminating the rosary throughout Europe. Jacob Sprenger founded around 1475 an even more famous one in Cologne. Alain's rosary consisted of 150 Aves reflecting the Psalter, and was subdivided in three groups of fifty each, following the three fundamental mysteries of Christ's Incarnation (Joyful mysteries), Passion (sorrowful mysteries), and Resurrection (Glorious mysteries). Alain rejected Dominic's shortened version of the rosary (50 Aves), and likewise, rejected the name "rosary." His name for the rosary prayer was the "New Psalter of the Virgin," highlighting thus that the rosary had 150 Aves, not only fifty, just as the Psalter numbers 150 Psalms and not fifty. His opposition to the name "rosary" stems from the "vain and worldly" origins of "rosarium," "corona," or "sertum." The "rosarium" or rosary indeed has pre-Christian origins. Ancient Rome celebrated the "rosalia," a spring festival commemorating the dead. In Greek tradition, the rose was Aphrodite's flower. It reminded one of the blood of the gods. Venus, Aphrodite's Roman counterpart and protector of love, is frequently pictured with a wreath of red and white roses, or holds a rose in her hand. Similarly, from ancient times to the middle ages, the ideal place for romantic encounters were "rose-gardens," that is, gardens protected by a rose hedge. The expression "rose-garden" has a wide variety of meanings, from libertine to more edifying usage. It is, together with "rosenkrantz" (wreath of roses), best known for its role in literature of profane romance (see, e.g., Roman de Éá Rose, early, thirteenth century). It is well-known, however, that the symbolism of the rose has a long history in Christian tradition. The rose was frequently applied to Mary, sometimes to Jesus himself. This is true for patristic texts, (e.g., Ambrose, Sedulius), Latin hymns, and sequences (De gaudiis B. Mariae, fifteenth century). Mary is "God's rose-garden" in Latin hymns, whereas Dante lauds her as the "Rose in which the word of God became flesh" (Paradiso, 23:73-74). It is in the context of this literature using the symbolism of the rose that we have to search for the origin of the word "rosary," in Latin, rosarium. The evolution and usage of the word happened in stages. udayton.edu/imri/mary/r/rosary-history-of-the-term.php
