  • #091 - 4th Sunday in OT (B)
    At Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. My first homily as the associate pastor at the University of Tennessee! Addressing Mark 1:21-28 and carefully avoiding 1 Corinthians 7:32-35. Fighting the demons that say, "what have you to do with us?"

  • #089 - Solemnity of Mary, World Day of Peace
    At St. Thomas More Newman Center in Columbus, OH (where I had served during my pastoral year). Can we bring peace to the earth, or do we need to rely solely on God? Mary's example may give us some ideas. May peace -- and beed -- prevail on earth!

  • #078 - Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction
    At St. Paul's College, Washington, DC. A reflection given to my Paulist seminary brothers at a Eucharistic exposition service. The Jewish prayers that informed the Last Supper, and how those prayers inform our understanding of the Eucharist.

    At St. Camillus in Silver Spring, MD, where I served part-time for 3 semesters, first as a student and then as a deacon. Three challenges to our concepts of mercy and justice, inspired by Matthew 20:1-16. Can we hold the two concepts together?

  • #060 - 23rd Sunday in OT (A)
    At St. Camillus in Silver Spring, MD. (My first homily as a deacon!) Different perspectives on the same story -- conflict or gift? When we speak up about conflict, are we trying to build community?

  • #059 - 20th Thursday in OT (I)
    At St. Mary's on the Lake, Lake George, NY. Some truly disturbing readings (Judges 11:29-39, Matthew 22:1-14) inspire a reflection on a truly disturbing topic. How are we working to break the cycle of domestic violence?
