I have often incorporated story in my homilies. Sometimes IÕve used the same story more than once when it fit the occasion. I firmly believe that statement, ÒTruth wrapped in story is irresistible.Ó Unlike scientific truth which can be proven, religious truth appears to be an oxymoron by our secular educational system. Truth, in fact comes in many different ways, in many different modes besides science. To again quote Father Bousch: ÒAre we to say, for example, that the fictional works of Dante, Shakespeare, Dickens, and Wharton carry no truth of any sort, no wisdom? Is the fictional story of the Good Samaritan without truth of any sort? Is the wisdom behind AesopÕs talking animals useless and silly? Is To Kill a Mockingbird simply a good read and not a moral imperative? Is there no truth to Atticus FinchÕs life?Ó
