April 11, 2022 Homily: Don't Run Away from the Suffering Jesus | Fr. Mathias Thelen
In this homily given at St Pat's on Passion (Palm Sunday), (April 10, 2022), Fr. Mathias challenges us to "stay with Jesus" as we commemorate his suffering, death and resurrection. As we draw near to Jesus in his suffering, we unite our sufferings to his, which allows him to love us in them. Since only those who suffer with Jesus will be raised with him, our decision to love Jesus now in his sufferings prepares us to experience the new life of the Resurrection at Easter.

March 14, 2022 Homily: Living as Citizens of Heaven | Fr. Mathias Thelen
In this homily given at St Pat's, (March 13, 2022), Fr. Mathias explains that because of what Jesus has done for us we belong more to heaven than to this world; we are, in fact, citizens of heaven. This has immediate and concrete implications for how we live in our world today. Living as citizens of heaven allows us to have clarity on who we should allow to influence us, it helps us to have laser-like focus on how to make good decisions in this world, and enables us to live in confidence, joy and thanksgiving because heaven is a gift from God that cannot be earned.

February 21, 2022 Homily: Securing Our Reward by Loving Our Enemies Like Our Father Does | Fr. Mathias Thelen
In this homily given at St Pat's, (February 20, 2022), Fr. Mathias breaks open Jesus' command to love our enemies and explains why this command to radical love makes us different from the world around us. The reason why God commands us to love those who hate us is that he wants us to be like him. With a renewed awareness of how God has saved us from us judgment and condemnation when we became his enemies through sin, we can respond to this call to radical love by avoiding perfectionism and compromise and so secure our great reward.
