At St. Thomas More Newman Center in Columbus, OH. A homily on the fourth element of the Trinity. How do we show love and respect for one another, without worrying if that love and respect will be returned to us?

At St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish (my home parish) in Pittsburgh, PA. (Similar homily preached the night before at St. Pio of Pietrelcina Parish in Harmarville, PA.) Remembering three instances when I received gifts from the Holy Spirit.

At the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City. During the first Mass at which I presided! What do Acts 1:15-26, 1 John 4:11-16, and John 17:11-19 have to say about our friends who are atheists or agnostics?

At Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. My last homily here as a deacon! Reflecting on the wonderful story of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10:1 - 11:8.

At Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. 1 John 3:1-2 and John 10:11-18 inspire the last homework assignment for our soon-to-be graduates: saying goodbye to important people in our lives.

At Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. On the virtues of doubt. Doubt and faith are two sides to the same coin!

At Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. Why we wash one another's feet as Jesus did (John 13:1-15), and why it's astounding, humbling, challenging, and beautiful.

At the St. Thomas More Newman Center, Columbus, OH. I preached this reflection on Ash Wednesday 2009 in Columbus, but I preached something very similar at Blessed John XXIII Parish in Knoxville in 2012.
