Undoubtedly the greatest risk to the integrity of the holy Mass is the practice of eulogies. Eulogies undermine and corrupt the purpose and intent of the Mass as well as the sacred space wherein it is offered. Eulogies help pulpits devolve and succumb to petty competition between families giving ‘high praises’ of their loved ones. The only One deserving high praise in the house of God is God Himself! Blasphemy, sexually explicit ‘stories’, cursing, religious rants about hell and damnation...I have witnessed it. Eulogies. Think it’s just a cute thing families do to talk about grandma’s great cookies? Where have you been? I say this with love: Wake up!
