December 13, 2009 Rejoice Always
Third Sunday of Advent. In today's readings, St. Paul tells us to "Rejoice always."

December 11, 2009 No Excuses
Friday of the Second Week of Advent. Father Dave relays a message of Jesus in the Gospel today: perhaps we make too many excuses as to why we can not fulfill our faith promises. (Preached on Friday, December11th, 2009, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
6 min
December 05, 2009 Why Do We Need John the Baptist?
Saturday of the First Week of Advent. Perhaps you have wondered why it is that our church needed Saint John the Baptist. Why would we need someone to help pave the way, as it were, for Jesus? Father Dave helps us to realize that indeed we needed a visionary to help prepare us for the coming of the Lord. (Preached on Saturday, December 5th, 2009, New York City.)
12 min
December 04, 2009 Reverse Psychology
Friday of the First Week of Advent. Father Dave helps us to recognize that our faith and hope for the future can also effect us positively today. And whatever you do: don't tell anybody. Or should we? (Preached on Friday, December 4th, 2009, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)

December 03, 2009 Like a Rock
Memorial of Saint Francis Xavier, priest. Father Dave uses the analogy of a large, sturdy, if not always particularly comfortable rock for us to think about the presence of God in our lives.

November 19, 2009 God Forbid
Thursday of the Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time. Although we may often use the term "God forbid" in a sarcastic tone, it is indeed a very real and very serious concern. (Preached on Thursday, November 19th, 2009, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
6 min
November 15, 2009 Hope in a Dark Time

(Preached on Sunday, November 15th, 2009, 6:00pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
