“Seventy Times Seventy” Homily from the Twenty-Forth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Resentment is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die. “One of the ways we often lose freedom and prevent Jesus from being the Lord of our live, is by harboring unforgiveness in our hearts. When we fail to forgive others we not only hurt our relationship with them but we harm ourselves.”

“Love Your Neighbor As Yourself” Homily from the Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time. God desires for us to “get along, and not just to get along, but to get along so profoundly, so deeply that we could agree to something and pray about something before the heavenly Father. That we could be united in our hearts for what we intercede for, what we pray about.”

“Be Transformed By the Renewal of Your Mind” Homily from the Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. “We call it the sacrament of reconciliation because it’s not just about confession—it’s not just about confessing our sins—it’s about restoring [and renewing our] relationship with Jesus, with God. It’s about us receiving God’s mercy, his love, and restoring that love which we have rejected through our sins. And this is the great, great gift which we have in the sacrament of confession.”

“Upon This Rock, Build My Church.”

Homily from the Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time. In this weekend’s Gospel, “Jesus is reminding Peter is that if you are going to be my disciple it’s not always going to be good. It’s not always going to be easy. You are going to be challenged beyond your capacity. So do you really want to follow me and be my disciple?...”

“She believed, even when it seemed like she was being rejected, that this is the Son of God. That he truly loves me, that he desires to heal my daughter.” What do I do when I don’t feel his presence or when I’m struggling to believe? Is God still with me? What is faith? What is the difference between faith and feeling?
