Inside the Acorn

What does Jesus mean when He says that if we want to be His disciples, then we have to HATE our father and mother and brother and sister and children and wife? This is very confusing.... I thought we had to honor our parent? And by the way, it's His Momma's birthday today.... why should we honor Mary?

In this weeks Gospel we see a very different Jesus... He is talking about His desire to cast a fire on the earth and dividing families!! What's the deal? What are supposed to think about "this" kind of Jesus?

Today is the Feast of the Assumption, when Mary is taken up to heaven, body and soul. If you could create your own momma... what would she be like? Jesus had the chance to do this, and He didn't hold back!!

Jesus knows his mission.. he knows where he is heading! Sometimes we look back at our past, on what and who we left behind, but we have to keep looking forward! What's your mission? Where are you heading? What are you looking at?

Happy Independence Day! In todays society we have a backwards view of "Freedom!" But today's Gospel speaks to us about true freedom... a freedom which goes beyond pleasure or doing what we must must do... True freedom is the moral right to do what we ought to do!

Today is Corpus (Body) Christi (of Christ) Sunday!! This homily talks about the Eucharist, but comes from a different angle... "Know Your WHY!"... This is important.. What is your WHY? The answer to WHY is actually what gives our actions purpose and motivation.

He is Risen!! Check out this Easter Homily and see how we are called to be people of the resurrection and how important it is that we share our testimony and give witness to how the Lord has worked in our lives!

Here's an awesome homily by Dc. Patrick which goes into an understanding of a God who loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for us, washing away our sins!

This homily will open up for you some cool stuff with the way the Jew worship and answers the question as to WHAT was Jesus writing in the ground when they woman was caught in adultery!

This is a short but powerful homily about what it means to be a man, a husband and a priest! It also answers the strange question about why men traditionally wear a black tux for a wedding...
