Homily Rewind from St. Margaret Mary Church

Fr. Shenoy preached at Easter Mass at 8am.

Fr. Walsh preached at this year's Easter Vigil.

On Palm Sunday we hear the proclamation of the Passion of Christ. Fr. Walsh focused today on the woman who poured the ointment on Jesus. He says, we are all called to recognize Jesus as He truly is, as Our Lord and Savior.

Fr. Walsh preached at the Noon Mass. The readings were different from the other Masses because the Third Scrutiny for our Elect took place. He challenges us to surrender our current way of life in order to have new life in Jesus.

Fr. Shenoy tells us we must be able to seek help and listen to others when they offer it. The Gospel says when we do this, we die to ourselves and will indeed bear fruit.

Fr. Walsh preached at the Noon Mass this weekend. The readings were different from the other Masses because this was a Mass of Christian Initiation for the RCIA candidates. His message was simple. As we move forward this Lent, let us deepen our relationship with the Lord.

This Lent, Deacon Nemsy encourages us to be dependent on Jesus and His holy will. He tells us that no mater how busy or rushed we feel, it is so important to have the humble approach of being completely dependent on Jesus.

Are you in the dark? Deacon Tommy tells us that Jesus gave us the gift of the cross in order for us to step from the darkness and into the light of salvation.

In the Gospel, while in the Temple, Jesus drove out those who were preventing others from coming to the Father. Deacon Dave encourages us this Lent, to look at our own lives and to ask ourselves, what is preventing us from coming to a deeper relationship with God?

We must talk less and listen more. Fr. Shenoy points out the importance of listening to other people and especially listening to God. He tells us, we must listen to God with an open ear, an attentive heart, and a willingness to do His will.
