Message Preparation
Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran reveal their message preparation process. As they share in their book, Rebuilt, they dedicate an incredible amount of energy into their message preparation for Sunday homilies. Tom and Michael work together to form their message series and focus by and large on the weekend message. As Fr. Michael says, you can certainly find help to assist you in developing weekend messages. How do they do this? First, they begin with Scripture and personally meditation upon them. Second, they craft the message. Finally, they practice.
