| In some African American Catholic communities, it's customary
to clap sporadically during the homily, both as a way of acclaiming or
affirming something just said and as a general sign of support and
encouragement for the priest or deacon preaching. The Fourth Gospel
occasionally records people favorable to Jesus acclaiming him as a
prophet (4:19; 6:14; 7:40 (52); 9:17), generally referring to his wisdom
or powers, that is, a "prophet mighty in word and deed. Although she seems to have Catholic supporters, including a retired
archbishop, before rushing to welcome the "lost" sister, we
should want to wait just a little longer before acclaiming her. |
