Homily from the First Sunday of Lent. The only way out is through. As we enter into the desert, the desert takes away the things we tend to trust in...the things we use as comforts and crutches...and we are led through the "training place" to the place of being able to live like Christ. Mass [...]
Homily from the Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Silence reveals our hearts and silence trains our hearts.

Homily from the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. Why be great? A powerful goal in life is to be great, to be able to say "I am good at this" regardless of comparison, but with an eye towards real excellence. At the same time, event when we have a goal and have a plan, we [...]
