With world leaders using apocalyptic words like Armageddon, should we be concerned about whether we are in the End Times. As believers, we know that there will be a Second Coming of Christ that will be preceded by a "time of trial that will shake the faith of many believers." As Catholics, how should we respond to these recent developments? In this podcast I refer to paragraphs 675-677 in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Here is the homily I gave for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the first of a three part series entitled, "Right Praise Right Relationship." Having touched upon the roles of or True Faith and Right Reason, it is not time to look at the place of Right Praise. At some point we shifted our Praise from God to ourselves. If we truly have Faith, tempered by Right Reason, it will lead us to want a Right Relationship with God. From that, we will be able to offer Right Praise.

Based on recent posts I have seen, it has become clear that we need to reignite a conversation on the topic of Modesty. Modesty must work in tandem with purity of heart. Please refer to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 2514-2527 for more on this topic.

Here is the homily I gave for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the final installment in the series, "That's Reasonable." Jesus asks us to do what is good because it is right to do. As a faithful servant, we should expect nothing more from God and live according to His will because we are merely "unprofitable servants" in His Kingdom.

Here is the homily I gave for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the second in the series, "That's Reasonable." The Gift of Reason is meant to help us see beyond our limitations and to understand the mysteries of what God created. We can use this power for Good or for evil. To be sure we are in Right Reason, we must avoid using our reason for self-centered or selfish purposes.

Here is the homily I gave for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This homily begins a 4 part series entitled, "That's Reasonable." One of the more detrimental trends in modern time is our failure to encourage people to use Right Reason in their decision making. More often than not, people today are led by passions and emotions with not recourse to a healthy sense of guilt. We all need to slow down our lives and spend some time in quiet before the Lord.
