I'm a firm believer in giving people a message to take away that they can that they can work on for that day — that if you're trying to overload the message then you're going to lose people. I believe in precision — shooting one arrow, not 50.

We are trying to preach an experience and relationship with Jesus above all else. Many people don't know Jesus or about the Church he founded. A good homily feeds the hunger they have to know Him, and prompts them to go and learn more. Whatever the priest says should flow from his relationship with Jesus.
