Homilies from Holy Cross is a live recording of the Sunday Homily preached from the pulpit of Holy Cross Anglican Church in Alpine, Texas, during Holy Communion. Today, the First Sunday in Advent, brings us into the Triumphal Entry and the cleansing of the Temple, which story launches the Season of Advent, for in it we find the means by which we are prepared for the Second Advent of our Lord when he comes in full display of his power and glory.

"Give Us This Day" is a unique daily devotional commentary for the entire Church Year according to the Daily Lectionary of the Book of Common Prayer (1928). We join our reading of the Second Lesson from Morning Prayer with the reading of countless Christians, who read these Scriptures to form and transform the soul, more than merely inform the mind.
