Then, with the community settling in to that kind of pattern, a quite different style for the Easter Vigil - very short (3-5 minutes?) with a strong contrast and Easter rejoicing. Certainly this took weeks of preparation, not the 6 days suggested by the author in my original post you link to.liturgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822769747947139669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381857003974790247.post-45870290135641660532010-07-13T10:43:21.291+12:002010-07-13T10:43:21.291+12:00You must let me know when you plan to preach a lon...You must let me know when you plan to preach a long sermon ...

A discussion starter. <br />I'm sure you would also agree that some sermons of greater length tend to ramble, and we all need to work at ways by which we keep the community's attention. [And have something worthwhile to say!]<br /><br />Blessings<br /><br />Boscoliturgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822769747947139669noreply@blogger.com
