10th Sunday - No sooner have Adam and Eve decide sinned against God then they begin to turn against each other. We are a house divided when we reject God's will. Jesus teaches us that God's will is the path to a united heart and a united home.

Corpus Christ - I was given the gift of priesthood so I could give it away. The Eucharist teaches us that you are a gift. Don't use others and let them use you. Instead, the Eucharist teaches us how to give ourselves away.

Holy Trinity - The One God, Lord of the whole Universe, is also our God, a community of persons. Baptism invites us into God's community of love. Live your life, and every moment, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost - God’s Spirit fills us with love, shapes us in His image, and restores us to Communion with one other. Ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Pray for others in the Spirit. The gift of the Spirit grows to the degree that we give it away.

Ascension - Jesus returns to the spiritual realm where he came from. He is present to us through the Spirit that dwells in our hearts. May the eyes of your heart be enlightened so you can live your daily life from Jesus' eternal perspective.

I didn’t preach this weekend so I have nothing to share with you. But here are a couple of older homilies if you’re looking for inspiration. May you more deeply experience the merciful love of God this week.

From 2015:

What Happens When You Fall in Love… with God (#527, Easter 6)

From 2012, which was also Mother’s Day:

How to know it’s really Love (Homily for Mother’s Day)

And a mediocre recording from way back in 2009:

Fr. Joel’s Homily for May 17

Easter 5 - I got my first wild turkey thanks to Lee's mentoring. The Holy Spirit mentors and guides us, gives us mentors, and calls us to mentor others. Let us allow the Holy Spirit to build us up in the faith so that we can build up others.

Easter 4 - The Good Shepherd never forgets a sheep. Come hell or high water, blizzard or earthquake, the Good Shepherd will be there with you and for you. How would your life look different if you trusted this much in God's love for you?

Easter, Blizzard Sunday - Eyewitnesses saw the risen Jesus and it changed their lives forever. Where have you seen the Risen Jesus? How has He changed your life? People will believe in the Resurrection when they see the transformation in us.

Divine Mercy - Jesus is like us in all the ways that make us miserable. It is precisely in our misery that God comes to meet us and offer mercy and feed us with True Love. Pray to experience once again for the first time the Miracle of the Eucharist.
