Homily from Holy Thursday, the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper.

We all have unique sadnesses. Jesus enters into all of them.

Holy Thursday is a day that marks the gift of the Priesthood, the Eucharist, Christ's humble service, and the beginning of the Triduum. Today, we reflect on Peter, Judas, and Jesus in their unique sadnesses.

John 13:1-15

Homily from Palm Sunday.

You are meant to be a part of the story.

As Christians, we know the Story and we believe the Story. We know how God has saved the world by entering into suffering and death. But we are called to more; we are called to participate in the Story. Our apostolate is marked by Acceptance, Access, and Action.

Mark 14:1—15:47

Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Lent.

You don't have to find God's will in this moment and these circumstances...this moment and these circumstances are God's will for you.

The greatest lesson that anyone of us can learn is simple, but it is not always easy: you can trust God in every moment and all circumstances.

John 12:20-33

Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Lent.

We often feel owned by the past or powerless in the present.

Once something is broken, is it really lost forever?

John 3:14-21

Homily from the Third Sunday of Lent.

The greatest grace is to know the depth of our brokenness and to know the depth of His love.

Father Walter wanted to be like his heroes. We all want to think that we will be strong in the moment of truth. But the actual moment of truth comes after our weakness has been revealed.

John 2:13-25

Homily from the Second Sunday of Lent.

If I know Who, then I can say yes without knowing why.

Do I have any conditions on my response to God? Will I pray or serve or say yes to Him as long as I understand why He is asking?

Mark 9:2-10

Homily from the First Sunday of Lent.

When expectation meets reality, we have a choice.

All of our lives are marked by a certain degree of expectation. But what do we do when we encounter the reality of life? We can choose to either avoid reality or accept reality.

Mark 1:12-15

Homily from Ash Wednesday.

We hope He sees. We have faith it matters to Him. We do it because He said so.

During Lent, we have the chance to make our lives an act of hope, faith, and love. More than growing in discipline or self-improvement, Lent is a chance to live what we believe by prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

Homily from the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

The moments are holy when the moments are His...and the moments are His when the motive is Him.

When something is dedicated, it is transformed. It is elevated and becomes something more. When a moment is dedicated to God, it becomes a holy moment.

Mark 1:40-45

Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

You can only share what you have.

Holy moments are shared moments. We share like Jesus (and make moments holy) when we are generous and honest.

Mark 1:29-39
