Homily from the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time. The temptation to create a God in our own image and have a church in our own image is strong.

Homily from the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Assumption of Mary reveals many things.

Homily from the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Too often, when we encounter our own brokenness and woundedness, we either pretend it isn’t there or we just want it to be taken away.
