Yes I think that can reasonably done and let us incorporate it as a further axiom for our homiletics course if we are ever asked (with an appropriate stipend granted of course) to give one... I believe it could be put, without falling into pietism egregiously, in a slightly softer form... "Today's Gospel it seems right to me to allow speak simply for itself, no additional words come to me , so let us each hear as we can this that was said-- ' whatever whatever whatever' with immediacy. also it is a hot summer day and there is no breeze although we have opened all the windows, but the words will remain when we are settled in another place and now let us turn tho that which is our true work and privelege...[id est the sacrament of the altar for anyone looking in and not of this way, it is not a proposal to rush out to the beach just yet]" or something :)
