Keep your sermons brief, Pope tells priests

Vatican City, April 13 (IANS/AKI) Catholic priests should not drone on in their sermons but should try and keep them short, Pope Francis said on Thursday.

"Give short sermons if possible," Francis told priests during a homily as he celebrated Chrism mass in St Peter's Basilica. The mass traditionally begins Holy Week leading up to Easter.
