People do not understand St. Joseph! How could a JUST man, a righteous man, think it is OK to walk out on his pregnant wife (especially when she is pregnant with the Messiah)? Just men don't do that! Joseph didn't do that! Here's what you need to know...

Advent is a penitential season meant to help us grow in love and holiness. Sadly, these weeks from Thanksgiving to Christmas are typically a time full of anxiety, worldliness and materialism. We must counter this! How can we grow in love and holiness before Christmas? Here are some very practical steps...

Man exists to glorify God. At the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we use our free will to praise and glorify God. This is when we are most human...and when we most please God. While our Country thanks God one day a year, the Catholic Church thanks God every moment of every day and in every place of the world--through the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Happy Thanksgiving! 

"What is truth" Pilate said to Jesus as he stared at truth incarnate. This is the same question the world asks today. Is there truth? Think: gender confusion, marriage confusion, political confusion. Satan and his kingdom causes confusion. God gives clarity. Under His rule, Truth is objective. And it leads to all that is lasting, good and beautiful. His Kingdom is open to all who are willing to submit to truth.

Jesus explained what signs we would see when the end is near. If we look at our world today, all the signs are here. We need to be prepared. But if we are prepared, we ought not to fear...not even the slightest!

Do you know about this amazing apparition that took place in Kibeho, Rwanda in the 1980s?  Approved by the Vatican in 2001 as being authentic, what Mary said applies NOW just as much as it did 40 years ago. How many times will Mary tell us to do this before we listen?

St. Teresa of Avila said that St. Joseph never denied her requests. He will not deny you either. But you must devote yourself to him and his intercession.

Why do we celebrate the men and women who are already in heaven? They do not need our prayers! St. Bernard of Clairvaux answers this question for you -- as only a doctor of the Church could!

Jesus used very specific words to explain to us HOW to love correctly. If we died tonight, would we be able to look Jesus in the eyes and say, "Lord, I DID love you with all of my heart, mind, soul and strength. And I loved my neighbor as myself?" If we can't say that (and I cannot!), here is what we need to do now...

After you listen to the homily, sign up for adoration and check out our Source of All Hope Web site.

In today's Gospel, Jesus said he came to serve as a ransom for the "many." At the Last Supper, Our Lord said his blood would be offered for the salvation of the "many." Given this: Did Jesus die for ALL or just some? And once you accept Jesus, are you guaranteed to be saved? All of this and more in today's homily...
