As we hear the Beatitudes from Luke at Mass this weekend, we might think of the ways that we are living out the values of God’s kingdom in our daily lives and the ways we are proclaiming the values of his kingdom to others. Currently, I am studying ways to enhance my homilies, a continuation of the preaching enhancement program that I did with all of you last year when you evaluated my homilies. Part of what I am doing is studying techniques of storytelling and reading novels that tell good stories, to try to learn from them. All of us have stories that are a part of our lives and part of our faith. As we share our stories and share our lives with others in different ways, we might ask ourselves how we are proclaiming the kingdom of God to others in that process. Have a blessed week everyone - Father Lincoln.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
