The Priest took a break from Homily

Philippines

In a usual Catholic mass ceremony, the priest should be the one doing the homily and making the speech about the God news of good. Turns out, he had a substitute and took every one by surprised. Of course, after that every one started falling asleep because he wasn't very entertaining. But I did listen to it as far as I did. If it weren't for that pretty student beside me I would have fallen off but seriously it was a boring speech. Not the first time I've heard boring speeches but this one nearly put me to sleep.

I've experienced both before - having a 'second' priest do the sermon aside from the official officiating priest and nearly fall asleep because of a boring talk!

Hello @allen0187 I'm not even sure if the person was a priest I was too far away from him.

My husband used to be very good at sitting up very straight but going to sleep at the same time. Sermons often put him to sleep.

Well, that is why I sleep an hour before preparation to attend mass @JudyEv so that I won't be sleepy on the church.
