Homily from the Second Sunday of Advent. Too often, we do not love well because we do not discern what is worth loving; we don't pay attention to the value of things. Because of this, our love becomes diluted. But when we truly appreciate the value of the moment or the value of the person, [...]
Homily from the First Sunday of Advent. Too often, we want to love the way we have been created to love. But we find ourselves incapable of loving this way. Not because we aren't willing or because we don't want to...but because our lives are simply too full. We have no room to love. Mass [...]
Homily from the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. The end of the year offers us the chance to recognize the little lords and tingy tyrants in our lives; those things we love and those things tha attack us. And we have the chance to allow Jesus Christ, the King of [...]
Homily from the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. When we are in the middle of a journey...or the middle of life...we will encounter obstacles.

Homily from the Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time. We are called to love God with everything. It is easier to love when we are winning, but are we able to love when we've lost? What if we have lost everything? When we've lost, we are most tempted to become bitter, resentful, and take back our [...]
Homily from the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. It is one thing to lose. It is another thing when those losses begin to stack up and we get to the point where we haven't just lost...we've been beaten. We can wind up feeling defeated. Into this place of defeat, God Himself speaks into our loss [...]
Homily from the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The world sees life as being about winning. And to win is to gain power and influence. If a person wins they get power, and with that power they can re-shape the world as they see fit. But a Christian view of winning is different. Life is [...]
