Have we prepared materially, relationally, and spiritually for the most important moment of our life?

Homily for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Jesus wants to "deal with" everything that is in our mind and heart: casting out lies and fear, forgiving all guilt, breaking shame, healing unforgiveness and anger, and establishing our true identity as beloved sons and daughters.

Can you hear the small voice of the Good Shepherd loving you and building up your spirit?

It's hard to share the "Good News" if you don't know what it is and if you haven't been transformed by it!

Homily for all school Mass, Friday, November 7

Today on All Souls Day we pray for the poor souls in purgatory. They have been saved by Jesus' mercy, but the "rehabilitation" or purification of soul is still ongoing!

Homily for All Souls Day, 2025

The worst thing that can happen to us is to believe we don't need God and His Mercy. Confession is the natural first step toward healing on all levels!

Homily for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

We pay God a compliment when we ask for much because it shows we believe He can give much...Unless we ask for certain things, they almost certainly won't happen!

"Eucharist" means thanksgiving. Mass isn't about us, so we go not primarily for what we "get out of it," but because it's the least (and in some ways, the most) we can do to give thanks to Him.

Homily for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Homily for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

St. Francis, like every saint, embodies the healing and revival that God wants to bring into the world. It begins with childlike surrender and joy to what the Father is doing in, for, and through us!

Homily for the Feast of St. Francis, October 4, 2025

We can't grow and be comfortable at the same time; Jesus wants to use our suffering to reveal what He wants to heal and draw us closer to Himself.
