Father Dave Preaches

Seventh Sunday of Easter. Admittedly, this homily is a tad "late," as it is not the Easter season anymore. However, the message of this particular homily is always a good one: we must keep the faith, as we are the ones to do so, there is no "back-up plan." Preached on May 4th, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.

Friday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time. Father Dave helps us realize that indeed all Scripture is inspired by God, but that does not mean that all of it is exact fact. Scripture is a mix of poetry, song, images, and stories for God to communicate to us certain messages in order to inspire us to live a life inspired by God. St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Friday, June 6, 2008, 12:15pm Mass.

Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. Father Dave reminds us to try to see through Jesus' eyes, so that we may be able to see who needs our help and guidance and charity. St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Sunday, June 15, 2008, 6:00pm Mass.

June 8, 2008. Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. We may think at times that each of us is not good enough, or not pious enough, or not worthy enough to be truly called by God. But Jesus says to us, like he said to Matthew, "Follow me." Stop making excuses not to follow His calls. St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Sunday, June 8, 2008, 6:00pm Mass.

June 5, 2008. Memorial of Saint Boniface, bishop and martyr. Father Dave asks us to look to the martyrs for inspiration and strength to carry burdens of all kinds for one another.St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Thursday, June 6, 2008, 12:15pm Mass.

Friday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time. Although the readings at first seem like fairly bad news, Father Dave points out that in the responsorial psalm, we see that indeed "The Lord is kind and merciful." We should remember that in terms of His kindness, His forgiveness is "as far as the East is from the West" - infinite. St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Friday, May 23, 2008, 12:15pm Mass.

Thursday of the Fifth Week of Easter. Although this homily is admittedly posted a tad late (my apologies), there is never really bad timing for this sort of good news from the Lord. St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Thursday, April 24, 2008, 12:15pm Mass.

Thursday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time. The readings remind us today to make sure that we do not have partiality with certain people over others - as impossible as this task may seem. For as Scripture tells us, it may very well be that one person you write off due to preconceived misconceptions that would have been your cornerstone to a stronger faith with God. St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Thursday, May 15, 2008, 12:15pm Mass.

Pentecost Sunday. Father Dave tells us about Jesus giving us the Holy Spirit, once AND forever, and how this "fire" can inspire us day-to-day to keep our faith. St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Sunday, May 11, 2008, 6:00pm Mass.

May 1, 2008. The Ascension of the Lord. Father Dave refreshes the idea of spreading "the Great Commission," to inspire people to believe in the Lord, which Jesus relays to us right before He ascends to Heaven. St. Malachy's Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Thursday, May 1, 2008, 12:15pm Mass.
