Archbishop Weisenburger’s Sunday Homily Reflections

At Mass this weekend, May 17, 2026, Ascension Sunday, we hear that the disciples still wrestled with doubt. And yet, Jesus entrusted them with His mission and a promise: “I am with you always.” In this homily reflection, Archbishop Weisenburger shares his prayer that we, like Jesus’ first followers, may also grow in faith, disciple others, and trust in Jesus' enduring presence among us.

The saints remind us that an encounter with truth can change everything. In this homily for May 10, 2026, the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Archbishop Weisenburger reflects on Jesus' promise to give that same Spirit of truth to us. May we be ready to give ourselves over to it, so that one day we too can become the saints we were created to be.

In the Gospel for May 3, 2026, the Fifth Sunday of Easter, Jesus assures us that we need not be overcome by fear. He does not simply point out the path, but He walks with us, saying, "I am the way and the truth and the life." May we follow Him to the Father with courage and hope.

In this homily reflection for April 26, 2026, the 4th Sunday of Easter, Archbishop Weisenburger reflects on how Jesus reveals Himself as both the Good Shepherd and the Sheep Gate. As the Good Shepherd, Christ guides us; as the gate, He protects us. May we, His sheep, be attentive to His voice and follow wherever He leads.

The road to Emmaus reminds us how easy it is to miss the presence of Christ when we are distracted by our own expectations. In this homily reflection for April 19, 2026, the Third Sunday of Easter, Archbishop Weisenburger invites us to seek the mature faith of a true disciple who recognizes Christ in the broken and suffering, in compassion and kindness, and in the Eucharist.

In this homily reflection for April 12, 2026, Archbishop Weisenburger reflects on Divine Mercy Sunday. In a world that so often lacks compassion, Christ meets us behind our locked doors and speaks the words we most need to hear: “Peace be with you.” May His mercy take root in our hearts so that we can share it with everyone.

Brothers and sisters, Happy Easter! We have traveled with Christ from the desert, through the Cross, to the empty tomb. In this homily reflection for April 5, 2026, Easter Sunday, Archbishop Weisenburger celebrates Christ’s victory over death and the promise of new life for us all.

In this homily reflection for Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026, Archbishop Weisenburger invites us to spend the remaining days of Lent preparing to receive Christ our Savior with the same joy as the crowds in Jerusalem. May we gladden His heart as we further build His Kingdom with our own acts of mercy, justice, healing, and reconciling love.

When Jesus seems delayed in answering our prayers, it can feel confusing or painful. In this homily reflection for March 22, 2026, the 5th Sunday of Lent, Archbishop Weisenburger uses the story of Lazarus to remind us that delay is not absence or a lack of love. Everything Jesus does, ultimately, is to manifest the glory of God in our lives.

In the Gospel reading for Sunday, March 15, 2026, the 4th Sunday of Lent, the Pharisees witness a miracle yet still refuse to believe. Why does Jesus perform miracles, if not to convince the doubtful? In this homily reflection, Archbishop Weisenburger suggests that Jesus is revealing something much more powerful: signs of God's Kingdom and gifts of His love.
