I find the variance by parish on Palm Sunday odd.
Given the extremely long gospel reading, about 20 minutes long if you use the long form and don't rush through it like the Micro Machines guy, some priests don't give a homily at all, some give a homily but very briefly, and some give the normal 10-15 minute homily. My priest gave a full homily, so we didn't even begin the Eucharistic liturgy until it was normally over. I usually attend the 10 AM Mass, and on a normal Sunday, it is usually done around 10:45 to 10:50. Today, we didn't even start the Eucharistic liturgy until 10:40, so we got done around 11:20.
How common is this? I'm used to no homily or a short 5-minute homily at most on Palm Sunday.

If you ever feel like Captain Picard yelling about how many lights there are, it is probably time to leave the thread.

I gave a brief one. Mine are usually not long anyhow, but this was shorter even than usual.

Thank you for your patience as I build the board. I have about 1/16 to go.
