Father Dave Preaches

Feast of the Assumption of Mary. Father Dave reminds us on this particular feast day that although we may not have exactly the same body as an Olympic athlete, we are still blessed by God with both a body as well as a soul, which indeed will be reunited in Heaven. Preached on Thursday, August 15th, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.

Father Dave reminds us that both in the times of the Scripture passage and today, others are indeed looking on, so we must show and practice our faith with pride and dignity. Preached on Thursday, August 14th, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.

Memorial of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, bishop and doctor of the Church. Does Jesus need our faith in order to do mighty deeds? No. And do we need Jesus to do mighty deeds in order to deserve our faith? No. But does our faith and his greatness go hand-in-hand and inspire one another to do good? Yes. Preached on Friday, August 1st, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.

Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. We can be thankful that we are like clay: moldable, bendable, and movable by the divine potter so that we may become more able to serve Him more fully.

Thursday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time.
