Maybe you were distracted by taking care of your children's needs (which is a necessary distraction in a certain stage of life and nothing to be ashamed of). Maybe your mind wandered. Maybe you were worrying about something. Maybe you were praying about something. Maybe the church has a terrible sound system and you couldn't hear well. If you're a musician, like me, maybe you were mentally rehearsing the introduction to the Offertory Song. There have been several times that one of our deacons has preached a homily that so struck me that I wanted to read it again when I could reflect on it more. As I know all of our parish deacons well, I've felt free to approach them and ask them for a copy of that homily, and they always generously shared it with me.   [![Image: "Good Friday Homily" by Matthew Huntbach, 2014, all rights reserved, via Flickr.

About 10 years ago I discovered that a priest in my diocese was publishing his homilies on a blog. I've followed it ever since. My parish was staffed by Franciscan priests, so I didn't think it was too likely that I'd ever meet this diocesan priest whose homilies I read sometime in the middle of the week. But this spring, the Franciscans left our parish to concentrate on other ministries, and imagine my surprise when I learned that our new parish priest would be the very same one whose homilies I'd been reading for about a decade! I still read them midweek, but when I do, I mentally hear his voice proclaiming the words. I love that these priests and deacons have found a way to use technology to share the words they preach, not only with their own flocks, but with people around the world. This is a real blessing for anyone who wants to review a homily for any reason. I did a little crowdsourcing and asked my Facebook friends to share their favorite sites where they can hear or read homilies online--and in no time at all, I had a pretty big list!
