December 1, 2025 • Monday of the First Week of Advent

The First Sunday of Advent begins with a simple image: a knock at the door. In the readings from Isaiah, Romans, and Matthew, God reveals that He does not wait for perfect conditions. He comes to the real house of the heart, the one that feels cluttered, tired, or embarrassed.

Recorded at Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, LA.

Saturday of the 34th Week in Ordinary Time reflects the quiet pause before a new liturgical year begins. Today’s Gospel from Luke 21 warns about the slow drift of the heart and the danger of becoming spiritually drowsy. Daniel’s vision reminds us that despite the shaking of the world, the Kingdom already belongs to the holy ones of God.

Friday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time brings us to Daniel’s vision of the four beasts and Jesus’ call to read the signs of the times.

In today’s homily, Fr. Korey reflects on how fear shrinks the soul and makes us forget that Christ has already taken His throne. The Gospel urges us to lift our heads and recognize that redemption draws near.

Preached at Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, Louisiana.

Thanksgiving Day brings families together in a mix of joy, memory, and quiet tension. Today’s Gospel of the ten lepers reveals that true gratitude is more than politeness. It is communion. It is the courage to return to the One who heals.

Wednesday of the 34th Week in Ordinary Time

In today’s readings, Daniel confronts King Belshazzar with a haunting truth. What has been neglected eventually reveals itself. “You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.” Jesus gives the same warning from another angle and pairs it with a promise. Our lives will be tested, yet He remains with us in every trial.

Gospel: Luke 21:12–19

Saturday of the 33rd Week in Ordinary Time brings us face to face with a hard truth: pride can outrun everything except death. In 1 Maccabees, King Antiochus discovers his sins piled up like a room long ignored. Jesus meets the Sadducees in the Gospel and reveals a deeper reality: God is not God of the dead but of the living.
