  • 1/25/26 “God Shows Up”

    Homily from the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time The question is not IF God will show up, but HOW will God show up. There are times in our lives when it seems like there is no way forward. There are times when it seems like there is no way God can come through on His [...]

  • 1/18/26 “Mistaken Identity”

    Homily from the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Who are we talking to? It is critical to know WHO we are talking to when we pray. What is the image of God that guides and directs our prayer? Does He need our counsel? Does He care about us at all? Or does He care about [...]

  • 1/11/26 Two Traps

    Homily from the The Baptism of the Lord The traps of believing we are God's advisors...or His performers. Baptism changes us. It begins an entirely new life in each one of us. And yet, when we approach the Lord, we can be tempted to act, not as God's adopted children, but as His counselors or [...]

  • 1/4/26 Proximity or Intimacy

    Homily from the The Epiphany of the Lord Indifference can turn into hostility. Christ has come close. And yet, we all still have a choice: will we remain indifferent to His presence or will we seek Him out? If we choose indifference, we will not remain indifferent. When it comes to God, we either give [...]

  • 1/1/26 Waiting Well: Taken For Granted

    Homily from the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God Resolve: I will not take these things for granted. We are surrounded by the amazing and miraculous every day. But we often miss it because our lives are too busy and too full. If we take a page out of Mary, the Mother of [...]

  • 12/28/25 The Holy Family

    Homily from the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph The "trad family" goes back farther than the 1950's... Men and women need to be authentically masculine and feminine for their marriages and families to thrive. But what IS authentic masculinity? What IS authentic femininity? Mass Readings from December 28, 2025: Sirach [...]

  • 12/25/25 Waiting Well: Worth the Wait

    Homily from The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas) What if all I received was HIM this Christmas? We have waited for Jesus–and now that He is here, true gratitude is shown by living fully in the gift of His presence and love. Mass Readings from December 25, 2025: Isaiah 52:7-10; Psalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4, 5-6; [...]

  • 12/21/25 Waiting Well: Unconditional Hope

    Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Advent What happens when I don't get what I've been waiting for? All through the Bible, God makes certain promises. He always fulfills them. But we cannot expect God to fulfill a promise that He has never made. No matter what, whether we get what we've waited for or [...]

  • 12/14/25 Waiting Well: Praise While We Wait

    Homily from the Third Sunday of Advent In seasons of waiting, do we complain or praise? While we are waiting, it can feel like nothing is happening. And yet, faith tells us that God is at work even when we can't yet see the fruit. Rather than complaining while we wait, there is another option. [...]

  • 12/08/25 This Present Moment (Immaculate Conception)

    Homily from the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This feast day of the Immaculate Conception is not just a privilege for Mary: it's a prophecy for us. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception reveals God's plan to conquer sin not just by repairing what is broken, but by preparing a [...]
