One of my evangelical colleagues tells me he considers it a sign of a successful homily when he detects some “squirming” in the pews. Was there some “squirming” in the pews at Mass last Sunday? I did some myself as I meditated on the words of Jesus (Luke 13:22-30) preparing my sermon for last Sunday’s Mass, and I noticed a bit of restlessness as I gave it to the good people at Sacred Heart Parish in Suffern.

Thank you, Young People of Krakow! I’m home after nearly three weeks in India and Poland, physically tired but emotionally and spiritually exhilarated. World Youth Days – – and these were my seventh – – do that to me.
