Here is the homily I gave for the 3rd Sunday of Lent. This is the third in the series, "Lent is a Pilgrimage of Hope." Suffering is part of our Fallen Nature. Some suffering is the result of our choices and some the result of other's choices. In either case, suffering is a result of our sin. Suffering is not a punishment from a vindictive God.#frpeterd #stjoekp #lent2025 #catholichomily

Here is the homily I gave for the 2nd Sunday of Lent. This is the second in the series, "Lent is a Pilgrimage of Hope." Just like Jesus and the disciples, we must take on our penances with Joy as we stay focussed on the blessing to Come!#frpeterd #stjoekp #lent2025 #catholichomily

Here is the homily I gave for the 1st Sunday of Lent. This is the first in the Lenten series, "Lent is a Pilgrimage of Hope." For Hope to be true, we need to fully appreciate the Humanity of Jesus. This week we need to get to know Jesus better and appreciate the suffering He offered on our behalf.

Here is the homily I gave for Ash Wednesday. This is the introduction to my Lenten series Lent is a Pilgrimage of Hope. Lent is a jouney to Easter. At the heart of Lent is the desire to change. By making our Lenten journey, we should be different on Easter than we were on Ash Wednesday.

Here is the homily I gave for the 8th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the final in the series, "In It to Win It." Catholics today need to be people with clear vision. The thing that contributes most to our blindness are sins, especially habitual sins. As we prepare for Lent, we should choose penances and mortifications that help us overcome our sins.

Here is the homily I gave for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the 3rd in the series, "In It to Win It." Jesus does not give us a blueprint on how to be a Christian. Rather, He presents qualities that He expects His followers to emulate. Love and Mercy are the most important qualities.

Here is the homily I gave for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the second in the series, "In It to Win It." With all the cares and anxieties people have today, the way to lessen them and bring about Joy is to have a great Faith Life.

Here is the homily I gave for the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the first in the series, "In It to Win It." Jesus Christ won the Victory over Death and we must be fully immersed in Him so that we can participate in His Victory.

Here is the homily I gave for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. Many Catholics do not realize the importance of continually striving to grow in holiness. The Lord is constantly refining us so that we may be pure and holy when we meet Him at the Judgment.

Here is the homily I gave for the Baptism of the Lord. This is the final one in the series, "What Child is This?". The Child that was born so long ago is the One who makes it so that of us can be called a child of God.
