Homily from the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Make it your ambition to live a quiet life. In a world where so many people live their lives “on display,” the Holy Family shows us what it is to live a quiet (and meaningful) life. Mass Readings from December 29, 2024: [...]
Homily from the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas). The one who has gratitude has enough. At the moment we get to stand before the Lord face to face, what will the automatic and overwhelming response be? Will is be a word of love? Of contrition? Or will it be two words that summarize everything that [...]
Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Advent. I’m not going to fear what I don’t know, I am going to trust who I do know. We can wait in excitement and joy… we can also wait in fear. We fear the dark and might fear death for the same reason: the unknown. We can fear [...]
Homily from the Third Sunday of Advent. How can we see the Lord face to face til we have faces? We tell ourselves so many stories. Some of these stories are true and some of them are not. One challenge we have is to tell true stories... about ourselves and about the Lord. In order [...]
Homily from the Second Sunday of Advent. God will bring the work He has begun to completion. We can do so many things in the Christian life that are important. But if we miss the most important aspect of following Christ, our lives will be incomplete. We are called to love... and yet we do [...]

Homily from the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. At Mass, you are not in the bleachers. You are on the field. You are in the game. We are kingdom priests. But do we know what we are saying? Do we know what we are praying? Mass Readings from November 17, 2024: Daniel 12: 1-3 Psalms [...]
Homily from the Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time. It is truly right and just...worship sets us free. Does God need our worship? He does not. But we do. Worship sets us free from slavery and opens us up to love. Mass Readings from November 10, 2024: 1 Kings 17: 10-16 Psalms 146: 7-10 Hebrews 9: [...]
Homily from the Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time. Worship is not about what we get, but about what we can give. When is comes to Mass, we often complain that we "don't get anything out of it." Is that what Mass is about? is that what love is about? Or is love (and worship) about [...]
