Yes I did, and I do. It was about the dark night in the soul, and how all people have their Faith falter a little, and that even the saints did. Father said that we cannot allow this "dark night" take complete hold. We have to pray through, ask for our Faith to be strengthened, and think back to those things we did when our Faith was strong and do them again (whether it be daily readings of the Bible, working in Ministry, praying the rosary everyday, etc.). It was a very powerful homily.

I went to Mass, The scriptural readings were Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4 (141C), 2 Timothy 1:6-8; 13-14 and Luke 17:5-10.
Afterwards, Father made the connection between the readings and life today. We are to ask God to increase our faith and believe that He will do it. Everything happens in God's time not ours. So we must have patience and wait.

Yes, I did. The text was John 3: 1-15.
Those who do not have the spirit of God within them cannot understand the love of God. They are unable to comprehend why we believe as we do.
They can read The Bible cover to cover, and if the Spirit of God is not in them, they will not understand.
That is why they don't get it.
It was a great sermon.

Yes, and the sermon was about salvation in Christ, from the book of Ephesians.

I don't go to church on the pagan Sun-day; I go to church on the true Sabbath, yesterday. Our sermon was about "The Law of Life".

It started out fine - increasing our faith. Then the priest started talking about abortion - and I stopped listening. He's a guy - I'm a guy - NO MAN has any say in this.
So it was nice increasing our faith, Paul told Timothy to use his gifts wisely and have faith. Then Jesus said with faith as small as a mustard seed people could do amazing things, but we ended up hearing church worldly policy and I tuned out.
Nice to see the people after mass as always.

No, I did laundry instead and heard the holy trinity of wash, rinse and spin. A miracle! The same clothing was in the washing machine.

I live across the street from a cathedral. I didn't go. It was a yes or no question and I answered no.

I did, and I do.
Isaiah, incline an ear toward God, listen and your soul will prosper.
It was a good word, that was planted.
