Fr. David Farrugia, OP preaches on the Second Sunday of Advent. He explains the background of the Jewish people and God's promise to restore them and return them to their homeland. The task of the prophets was to keep the hope of the people alive while in exile. We too may find ourselves at time feeling like we are in exile, struggling to keep hope alive.  The voice of God speaks to us this week in Advent with a message of hope and light.

Fr. Jerome Cudden, O.P. preaches about the parable of the servants that are given talents, each to their ability, and what they did with them.  If we were all given the same exact same gifts how could we complement one another andcomeplete the mission. The scripture says the master says, "come and share your gifts". How are we sharing the gifts that God has given each of us? Are we using them to further the Glory of God?

Fr. Corwin Low, O.P. preaches at St. Dominic's in Benicia on November 12th about the parable of the wise vs. the foolish virgins and its analogy to whether or not we will be prepared to be welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven. It is our love of the Lord that makes the preparation and the appeal of the moral life easier and even more enjoyable because we desire to feel God's presence in our lives and we long to be with Him.

Fr. Jerome Cudden, O.P. preaches on the last of the Solas of Reformation Theology, Soli Deo Gloria to the Glory of God Alone. A common objection of protestants to our Catholic faith is our honoring of Mary and the Saints. He takes us through the scriptures that honor the lives of prophets and saints and how their examples of virtue are really an example of God's power at changing our human lives for His glory. Listen and learn at the conclusion how we can bring the understanding of these five solas together to do the work in reuniting Christ's Church.

Fr. Jerome Cudden, O.P. preaches again on Reformation Theology and the basic belief that Christians are saved by God's Grace alone and nothing we do can alter that grace even our merits. This week we talk about the cooperation between God and humans with grace vs. merits and how these two affect our salvation. What does our Catholic faith demonstrate regarding God grace?
