We really need this. There are so many lukewarm souls in the pews because they do not know our beautiful faith! Please feed His sheep...we are starving for the fullness of our faith.

Need the members of the church to participate more fully in the mass. They often make the claim that it is boring.

I personally think it is a beneficial idea but also requires the cooperation of the parishoners. Considering the majority of Catholics attending Mass are very superficial, I am not sure how many will follow through with the reading required prior to Mass.

I love what you are doing. My children all went to Catholic grade school and Catholic High School and did not learn their faith. Now as adults they are catching up but it is difficult. I will pray for this mission. Thank you. Lou Ann Gottman

I watched you on TV last night. I haven't gone through your website yet but I agree with your objectives. I'm a Carmelite Third Order and I find myself teaching a lot, in the RCIA, in the CCD, and in our community. I also write about a saint every Sunday in our parish bulletin. And this is the medium I use where I try to teach the "public", the joy of making God the center of our lives, in a very subtle way. There is always something about the life of a saint that we can imitate.
Priests should mention saints that exemplify the teaching in the readings and in the gospels.
Keep up the good work. Blessings and graces in Carmel!

As a convert to the Catholic faith, I fully support this initiative. It would enable all Catholics to better understand what the church teaches.

For years our bishops and priests have lamented the lack of catechesis in our church but no one has done anything about it. I firmly believe that Catholics need to hear from the pulpit what their church teaches. For too many Catholics, Sunday Mass is their only connection with the church. They didn't attend Catholic schools and don't do any reading to educate themselves about their faith. In short, they don't know what the church teaches and don't know what they are supposed to believe. Each generation gets worse because as parents, these adults don't have the knowledge to properly instruct their children. I really think Vatican II missed the boat when it changed the focus from sermons to homilies. I have ears and can hear the readings at Mass. Most Catholics are educated enough to figure out how those readings apply to them. I don't need a regurgitation of the readings in a homely. I can get that at the Baptist Church or Methodist Church down the street. What I need from my Catholic Church is more than that.
God bless you in your efforts to bring about this important transformation.
