Jesus wants to breath resurrection into areas of darkness and death in our life.

Homily for the 5th Sunday of Lent

Jesus is still healing people today, and He wants us to be vessels of His healing. It takes faith to step out and pray out loud with someone for their healing, but if we don't ask, we won't receive! It's worth the disappointments to see healing break through in people's lives.

The Holy Spirit came down powerfully in Topeka, KS on January 1st, 1901 after Pope Leo XIII invoked the "Veni Creator Spiritus," and we have the promise of another outpouring if we ask with expectation and perseverance!

Revival begins when we have stepped out of our comfort zone and into an environment of faith that leads to an encounter with Jesus' personal love for us.

Jesus goes into the desert to enter into the battle that we all face with satan. If we choose Jesus in our temptations, our victory is assured!

We often ask each other, "What are you giving up for Lent?", but sometimes we forget that sacrifice is meant to prepare more space for Jesus in our life.

Jesus' teaching to love our enemies is very difficult. We can't begin to love one another as He loves us until we have received His mercy and extended it to ourselves and others.

Sports have the power to bring us together, and they also have the potential to become an idol that is an obstacle to our relationship with God. With this game, let's rejoice and come together for the good and avoid the pitfalls in our culture's idolization of sports.

6th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Christianity is more about letting God love us than it is about following rules. We do have rules, but we naturally want to follow them when we have experienced the love and light of Jesus casting out the darkness from our lives!

5th Sunday in Ordinary Time

All of us will fail at times, but the enemy wants to make us believe we are failures, not good enough because we aren't perfect. Jesus wants His strength and mercy to shine in and through our weakness and poverty.
