  • 07/10/22 Simple Things First

    Homily from the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. There are so many things that we know that we ought to do. There are even things that we know that we want to do. And yet...we just can't seem to act on what we know. How do we start? How do we become people who do [...]

  • 07/03/22 Be A Saint

    Homily from the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Many of us want to grow spiritually. But what does that really mean? What is it that we really want? What is the actual goal of life? Put in the words of Jesus, what should we truly rejoice in? Christ's answer is nothing less than having our [...]

  • 06/26/22 The Call

    Homily from the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. God continues to call. God calls us to follow Him, making it clear that being a disciple is challenging...that it costs something. Therefore, we need to weigh out our response, we need to avoid hesitation, and we need to choose to follow Jesus in such a way [...]

  • 06/19/22 Corpus Christi

    Homily from The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The Body and Blood of Christ is one of the most under-appreciated gifts God has ever given. In the Scriptures, God gives us His Word. In the Sacraments, God gives us His work. But in the Eucharist, God gives us Himself. Mass [...]

  • 06/12/22 We Need Each Other

    Homily from The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity reminds us of the innermost secret of God: He is Love.

  • 06/05/22 Given for Some Benefit

    Homily from Pentecost Sunday. The Holy Spirit, poured out on the apostles (and the entire Church) at Pentecost would have gone to waste without the most important reality: the disciples made themselves available to be used by God for the service of the people around them. Mass Readings from June 5, 2022: Acts 2:1-11 Psalms [...]

  • 05/29/22 Ascension Gives Access

    Homily from the Solemnity of the Ascension of our Lord. In the Ascension, Jesus completes the work of redemption. He has taken His once for all sacrifice, bound to time and place, and brought it before the Father. Because of this, we have access to all of God's graces in every time and every place. [...]

  • 05/22/22 The Gift of the Church

    Homily from the Sixth Sunday of Easter. God has given us the gift of the Church. The Church is His Body...the Church is His Bride. And we cannot have Jesus without His Church. Mass Readings from May 22, 2022: Acts 15:1-2, 22-29 Psalms 67:2-3, 5-6, 8 Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23 John 14:23-29

  • 05/15/22 Do Not Be Shocked

    Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Easter. There are a few things that we ought to never be surprised by. One of them is suffering. God does not abandon us in our suffering, he leads us through them. Mass Readings from May 15, 2022: Acts 14:21-27 Psalms 145:8-13 Revelation 21:1-5 John 13:31-35

  • 05/08/22 The Time of Great Distress

    Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Easter. Our lives are marked by stress. Not only is stress unavoidable, it is necessary. The main question is: what is our response to stress? Mass Readings from May 8, 2022: Acts 13:14, 43-52 Psalms 100:1-3, 5 Revelation 7:9, 14-17 John 10:27-30
