Monday of the Seventh Week of Easter. Father Dave reflects on how those in today's first reading did not know about the Holy Spirit.

Monday of the Sixth Week of Easter. Father Dave shares how today's readings offer different ways to live as Christians. Whether going out to evangelize or welcoming others through hospitality, God uniquely calls us to spread the Gospel. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 05-11-26

Sixth Sunday of Easter. Father Dave notes how we read from the Acts of the Apostles during the Easter season. We are called to put our faith into action, and find concrete ways to do so together. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, Los Angeles, CA on 05-10-26

Monday of the Fifth Week of Easter. Father Dave highlights the blessings and responsibilities of the Christian life. We can share in God's divine life by aligning ourselves with God's will rather than our own desires. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 05-04-26

Third Sunday of Easter. Father Dave focuses on the Gospel passage of the Road to Emmaus and the power of accompanying others. As Busted Halo Ministries celebrates 25 years, we are all called to help others recognize Jesus in the breaking of the bread. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 04-19-26

Wednesday of the Second Week of Easter. Father Dave reflects on how the stories in the Acts of the Apostles can be both inspiring and intimidating. He focuses on the words of the psalm to highlight the simple power of praising God together. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 04-15-26

Monday of the Second Week of Easter. Father Dave begins by noting how God calls us to speak up for what is right both in biblical times and today. Jesus calls us to be reborn of the spirit so that we can have a "heavenly passport" to enter the kingdom of God. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 04-13-26

Second Sunday of Easter. On Divine Mercy Sunday, Father Dave reflects on what we can learn from the story of "Doubting Thomas." Just like Thomas, Jesus offers us peace and asks us to believe, and we are to live out our faith as a result. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 04-12-26

Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. Father Dave notes the parallels between our Palm Sunday readings and "No Kings" protests in the United States. Jesus is not the king the ancient world was expecting, rather, he empties himself as a sacrifice for us. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 03-29-26

Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. As we celebrate today's solemnity, Father Dave reminds us that we, like Mary, are also called to collaborate with God. It is our choice to participate in God's will, and we're invited to boldly say yes. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 03-25-26
