Homily from the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. To protect one's heart is the safest way to live. But since we are made in God's image and likeness, we are made for love. Without love, we remain safe...but we remain incomprehensible to ourselves. To love is to be vulnerable...it is to risk. To receive the [...]
Homily from the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. We must cultivate the fear of the Lord in our lives. If we do not, then we will have only a partial vision of who God truly is. If we do not cultivate the fear of the Lord, then we will never have the proper relationship with [...]
Homily from the Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. Jesus prays that His Church is never without shepherds. This world and His Church is in need of leaders, of shepherds, and of fathers. While we will always need women and mothers, we stand in particular need of fathers at this moment in history. We need both: [...]
Homily from the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ (Feast of Corpus Christi). We are made for love. God is love. We are therefore made for God. And God comes to us in love in the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Christ at every Mass. Mass Readings from June 11, 2023: Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14-16 [...]

Homily from the Ascension of the Lord. It has been said that "10,000 difficulties do not make one single doubt." When we approach God, we can be tempted to hesitate. We need to be able to ask the questions that need to be answered. This asking is not the same thing as doubting. Mass Readings [...]
Homily from the Sixth Sunday of Easter. Saint Peter tells us to be prepared to give a reason for our hope. We need to be ready to give an explanation for the truth that Jesus is the source of hope. We also need to be ready to give a reason for our personal hope in [...]
Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Easter. Peter notes that we are built into a spiritual house. We know what kind of building it is based on the purpose of the building. And the purpose of the Temple is to be the Presence of God and the place of worship and sacrifice. If we are [...]
Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Easter. At the twilight of our lives, we will be judged on love alone. And to love is to give. Love almost always involves sacrifice. Because there is no present like the time. Mass Readings from April 30, 2023: Acts 2:14, 36-41 Psalm 23: 1-3a, 3b4, 5, 61 Peter [...]
