Sunday and Daily Mass Homilies by Fr. Aristotle

Tuesday Mass. 4.07.26.

The tomb is empty — and that changes everything. In this homily, I reflect on what Easter truly means in the middle of real suffering, real tears, and real loss. Joy and sorrow can exist at the same time, and Easter doesn't take away our trials — it transforms them. The power that raised Jesus from the dead is already in you. Don't live like Easter didn't happen.

Wednesday Mass. 4.01.26.

I reflect on how easily we forget the price Jesus paid for us — and how often we fall into the trap of thinking God owes us something. The truth is, we were owed nothing. Yet Jesus gave everything. I also reflect on the betrayal of Judas and how each of us, in our own way, has betrayed Christ. This Holy Week, let's stop focusing on what we're going through and fix our eyes on Jesus.

Tuesday Mass. 3.31.26.

In this homily for Tuesday of Holy Week, I reflect on one of the deepest human fears — rejection and betrayal — and how Jesus faced it head-on. He knew every person who would betray him, including Judas and Peter, and he came anyway. That's the heart of Holy Week. Jesus takes our human weakness, our failures, our sin, and transforms it into redemption. That's what makes this week holy. Journey with Jesus this week — he thirsts for you.

Monday Mass. 3.30.26.

In this homily, I reflect on a conversation with a young adult who was deeply disturbed by the Passion — asking why Jesus begged the Father to take the cup, and why everyone left him. As we enter Holy Week, I invite you to slow down, resist the rush to Easter Sunday, and sit with what our Lord freely chose to endure — for you and for me.

Palm Sunday 2026.

In this Palm Sunday homily, I reflect on Psalm 22, the silence of Jesus before Pilate, and why the answer to all our suffering and failure is found in the empty tomb on Easter Sunday.

Saturday Mass. 3.28.26.

In this homily, I reflect on Caiaphas' prophecy, and why Holy Week is about sitting with Jesus and being grateful for what He did for you.

Friday Mass. 3.29.26.

In this Homily, I reflect on the prophet Jeremiah, what Jesus saw during His passion, and why Holy Week is about surrendering our fears and failures to the Lord.

Monday Mass. 3.23.26.

In this homily, I reflect on the story of Susanna and how it points us to Jesus — the ultimate vindicator who steps into our broken world not just for the world, but for you personally. As we approach Holy Week, I invite you to sit with this truth: if you were the only person who existed, God would still die for you.

5th Sunday of Lent. 3.22.26.

In this homily for the 5th Sunday of Lent, I reflect on the raising of Lazarus and what Jesus means when he says, "I am the resurrection and the life." I share how the same Spirit that raised Lazarus — and Jesus himself — is alive in us, and why that changes everything about how we face suffering, doubt, and death. I also invite you to join us for Holy Week.

Friday School Mass. 3.20.26.

In this homily, I reflect on the moments when faith feels strong and the moments when it doesn't — and why both are part of the spiritual life. Drawing from John 6 and Peter's powerful response to Jesus, I explore what it means to stay with the Lord even when it's hard.
