Transcript
00:00The message of the Holy Father to the priests is that the sermon should not exceed 8 minutes during the mass.
00:10Is that favorable to the Filipinos?
00:12That was challenged in Barangay Saksi.
00:16In the Holy Mass, the priest divides the word of God according to what is written in the Bible.
00:22But the sermon of the priest is shorter, according to Pope Francis.
00:28In order to be effective, the Holy Father said, 8 minutes is enough.
00:32If it is longer, people will lose their attention and they can still sleep.
00:37Is that favorable to the Filipinos?
00:40Others agree.
00:41What is important is the content and not the length of the message.
00:45Even if it is short, the message is consistent.
00:48Another person said,
00:49What is the purpose of the mass if only those who can sleep will attend because of the length of the sermon?
00:55Sometimes, another person said,
00:56There are additional sermons that have nothing to do with the Gospel.
00:59Is that favorable to the Filipinos?
01:00In all the sermons, it is included in the 8 minutes.
01:06Because some of them are long.
01:09In the length of the explanation of the priest, there are other stories.
01:15But in the 8 minutes, if everything is included, there is no problem.
01:20It is not favorable to the Filipinos.
01:21They are in a hurry for the 8 minutes.
01:24Or it is not enough to explain a sermon.
01:28It is better if it is 15 minutes or more.
01:31Another person said,
01:32Listening to the message of God is like listening to the conversation with your spouse or your loved one.
01:38Is that favorable to the Filipinos?
01:39If it is only 8 minutes?
01:40Another person asked,
01:41Why is it that when you speak and use your cell phone,
01:44other people do not fall asleep?
01:46It is not favorable to the Filipinos.
01:48Because I have been doing this for 5 years.
01:52That is what people are used to.
01:54That is the only thing they follow.
01:57The long sermon of the priest.
02:02For those who do not really listen,
02:04even the 8 minutes is too long.
02:07It is not sleepy if the heart is ready to receive the message of God.
02:12There are those who joke that if the buzzer rings, the sermon will stop.
02:17Another person asked,
02:18Can the sermon of the mother be shortened?
02:21Another person said,
02:22It can be 8 minutes for the usual day of mass,
02:25and the sermon should be longer every feast day and other special days for the church.
02:30While another person said,
02:31If the homily of the priest is longer than 30 minutes,
02:35the parishioners will not be able to sleep.
02:38It is long.
02:39That is okay with me.
02:41It is a pioneer for people who always think of God.
02:46If there is no hope, if there is a problem, just pray.
02:51For GMA Integrated News,
02:53may you succeed!
