• How to be remembered

    I hope when I die I am mourned more by the poor than by the rich.

    I hope my coffin is carried by friends and not by soldiers.

    I hope the clocks keep chiming for the world only spins forwards.

    I hope that money is not wasted on my obsequies which could be better spent on doing good.

    I hope that an Easter mass is celebrated not state-sanctioned pomp and pride.

    Even if the response is abuse, at least you know the sermon has been  heard or read and absorbed.  I would imagine that this is more fulfilling than preaching weekly with no idea whether anyone is even taking notice.

    Praise has also come with the abuse and it's interesting to note who are the abusers.  Get well soon and give us some more sermons to think about.
