Why are we at Mass? To get something out? To listen to the homily? No…the primary reason is prayer. The homily, which is often what is referenced in relation to a good or bad Mass is in fact the least important part of Mass. The Homily you get to talk to the priest, for all the other parts of Mass you are talking to God. God is a better person to talk to. We might not always experience it as “better”, but objectively God is much, much, much better than Fr. Samuel or any priest. 4/12/19
