Father Dave Preaches

Wednesday of the Seventh Week of Easter. It might feel better momentarily to receive, but as Jesus reminds us, it is more blessed to give. (Preached on Wednesday, June 8, 2011, St. Paul the Apostle Church, 59th St. and Columbus Ave., New York City)

Memorial of Saint Justin, martyr. Instead of ignoring or avoiding those that call themselves spiritual and not religious, we should strive to connect and inform these seekers. (Preached on Wednesday, June 1, 2011, St. Paul the Apostle Church, 59th St. and Columbus Ave., New York City)

Sixth Sunday of Easter. The reason we have hope is that Jesus promises the Holy Spirit. (Preached on Sunday, May 29, 2011, St. Paul the Apostle Church, 59th St. and Columbus Ave., New York City)

Fifth Sunday of Easter. Indeed, as Peter said, we must be "living stones" with which to build our church. (Preached on Sunday, May 22, 2011, St. Paul the Apostle Church, 59th St. and Columbus Ave., New York City)

Fourth Sunday of Easter. Will the Earth end on May 21st? Probably not, but at the bare minimum, at least these believers are living with a boldness to spread the urgency of a relationship with God. (Preached on Sunday, May 15, 2011, St. Paul the Apostle Church, 59th St. and Columbus Ave., New York City)

Friday of the Third Week of Easter. Father Dave echoes the responsorial psalm today: go out to all the world and share the good news. (Preached on Friday, May 13, 2011, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, 49th and Broadway, Times Square, New York City)

Thursday of the Third Week of Easter. How urgent is your faith? You may have seen that some people believe that Saturday, May 21st is Judgment Day. This may or may not be true, but at bare minimum, at least it gives them an urgency to their faith lives. (Preached on Thursday, May 12, 2011, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, 49th and Broadway, Times Square, New York City)

Saturday of the Second Week of Easter. What's it gonna take for you to recognize Jesus walking along with you? (Preached on Saturday, May 7, 2011, St. Paul the Apostle Church, 59th St. and Columbus Ave., New York City)

Friday of the Second Week of Easter. Father Dave (complete with post-dentist lazy lip!) explains how, even in our hardest moments, that "this is of God." (Preached on Friday, May 6, 2011, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, 49th and Broadway, Times Square, New York City)

Thursday of the Second Week of Easter. As we look at the readings about the early church, we may feel even jealous of how simple it may have been then. But yet still, we must be inspired and indeed "obey God rather than man." (Preached on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 12:15pm, St. Malachy's Church, 49th and Broadway, Times Square, New York City)
