07.19.2021 07/18/21 The Poison of Indifference Homily from the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Indifference does not mean you don’t care; it just means you don’t care enough to move. There are many opportunities to waste one’s life. One of those ways is to allow one’s ...
07.12.2021 07/11/21 Chosen and Consecrated Homily from the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. You are wanted and set apart. You are special. We’ve heard that for so much of our lives that we’ve either grown numb to it or no longer believe it. But what ...
07.05.2021 07/04/21 "Ruined" Homily from the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The beauty is in the broken. Too often, when we encounter our own brokenness and woundedness, we either pretend it isn’t there or we just want it to be taken away. But ...
06.28.2021 06/27/21 Plan B Homily from the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Love requires risk. Risk requires courage. Many of us make plans. And many of those plans don’t end up working out the way that we had expected. Fortunately, God calls us to ...
06.21.2021 06/20/21 Everyday Courage: Into the Storm Homily from the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. God is in the Storm. There are times when we do everything God has asked us to do…and we still find ourselves in the midst of a storm. In those moments, we ...

06.07.2021 06/06/21 The Crisis of Love Homily from The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Do we lack faith? Or do we lack love? Most people who call themselves Catholic do not believe one of the most central and most powerful teaching ...
05.31.2021 05/30/21 Secret Identity Homily from the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. What is God's deepest secret? What is yours? What we are is shaped and revealed by what we choose. Who we are is established by relationships. Mass Readings from May 30, ...
05.23.2021 05/23/21 Kingdom Gifts Homily from Pentecost Sunday. Am I willing to use the gifts that God has already given? At Pentecost, the disciples received the Holy Spirit and the subsequent gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts glorify the Father and have changed ...
05.17.2021 05/16/21 You Will Be Martyrs Homily from the Mass of the Ascension of the Lord. Nice is different than good. Jesus doesn't call us to simply be "nice people." Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit so that we can be more than we are ...
05.10.2021 05/09/21 Spark Joy Homily from the Sith Sunday of Easter. Joy is rooted in confidence and comes as a consequence. We can choose joy only insofar as we can choose the source of our joy. Joy comes as a consequence; it is a ...
05.03.2021 05/02/21 Love Limits You Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Easter. Practice making the promise. We find ourselves always moving and never done. We have so many options that we experience decision paralysis and subsequent decision dissatisfaction. But we are made for a full ...
04.26.2021 04/25/21 Inclusive Love/Exclusive Claim Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Easter. Inclusive means neither passive nor permissive. To be included is an incredible gift. To be inclusive is powerful. It means more than being “welcome”, it means being radically open and desperately fighting to ...
04.19.2021 04/18/21 To Be A Witness Homily from the Third Sunday of Easter. It is possible to see the miracle and to not be a witness. It is possible to encounter God and go back to the same life. It is possible to live as if ...
04.12.2021 04/11/21 Scar Stories Homily from the Sunday of Divine Mercy. Every scar has a story. Virtually everyone has scars. And every scar has a story. Scars are reminders of our past...they are reminders that won’t go away. And Jesus has kept His wounds ...
04.04.2021 04/04/21 Ellipsis Homily from the Mass of the Resurrection of Our Lord. It means that something more is coming. Peter told Jesus that he would die for Him. And he meant it. He just wasn’t ready at the right time. Mass Readings ...
04.02.2021 04/02/21 Gallicantu Homily from Good Friday of the Lord's Passion. Peter expected to fight in the Garden, not in the courtyard. Peter told Jesus that he would die for Him. And he meant it. He just wasn’t ready at the right time. ...
04.02.2021 04/01/21 Context Matters Homily from the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper On the night He was betrayed…He gave. Everything in the Bible leads to the moment of the Last Supper…and leads to every time we are at the Mass. Mass Readings from ...
03.29.2021 03/28/21 The Truth and the Choice Homily from Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. Christianity doesn’t offer comfort. It offers something else. In our culture today, we are able to avoid thinking of death. But death is the inevitable reality of living. Still, the fact that ...
03.22.2021 03/21/21 To The Heart: Vulnerable and Able Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Lent. A heart that is too soft has to be protected. A heart that is too tough can’t be touched. What good is it to have a heart that can be hurt by this ...
03.15.2021 03/14/21 To The Heart: Hidden Heart Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Lent. A hidden heart is a homeless heart. The People of Israel were brought into exile. It was imposed from the outside. But after King Cyrus game them a way home, many of them ...
03.08.2021 03/07/21 To The Heart: My Treacherous Heart Homily from the Third Sunday of Lent. Is the question, “Can I trust God?” Or is the better question, “Can God trust me?" There is something that all of us discover about ourselves the moment we have a minute of ...
03.01.2021 02/28/21 To The Heart: The Adventure of Obedience Homily from the Second Sunday of Lent. Obedience precedes understanding. We are made for adventure. But adventure means mystery and uncertainty. Often, what holds us back from action is a lack of knowing why. But what if there is a ...
02.22.2021 02/21/21 To The Heart: Untamed and Untamable Homily from the First Sunday of Lent. God is not safe, but He is good. Trust is a challenge for all of us. Trust in God is a battle that every person faces at some point in their lives. Often, ...
02.18.2021 02/17/21 To The Heart: Escape or Embrace Homily from Ash Wednesday. Return to the Lord with your whole heart. We are often tempted to run away from God and from difficult moments in life. We might even be tempted to escape from all that has been taken ...
02.18.2021 02/14/21 Hindsight 20/20: The Cost Homily from the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Every choice comes at a cost. Looking back, there are some things we could have known. And looking back, there are some things we could never have known. But one thing is ...
02.15.2021 02/07/21 Hindsight 20/20: In Good Times and In Bad Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Good times don’t last…and neither do bad times. One of the many things that life teaches us is that life is always changing. To grow is to change. There are times that ...
02.01.2021 01/31/21 Hindsight 20/20: Worthless Knowledge Homily from the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time. I learned, but I didn’t grow. Knowledge is powerful. Having lived through this past year, and looking back on what we have been through is essential. We can have learned a great ...
01.25.2021 01/24/21 Hindsight 20/20: The Whole Story Homily from the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time. Editing is the enemy of how we remember the story. We look back so that we can see clearly and learn from our past. But we also have a temptation to edit ...
01.18.2021 01/17/21 Hindsight 20/20: The Moment Before the Moment Homily from the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. We can’t predict The Moment, but we can prepare in the moment before The Moment. While no one can predict the future, all of us can learn from the past. While none ...
01.11.2021 01/10/21 You Are My Son Homily from the Baptism of the Lord. At the Incarnation, God joined His dicinity to humanity...at the Baptism of Jesus, God identifies with our brokenness. What difference does the Baptism of Jesus make? It means that God doesn't stay away ...
12.27.2020 12/27/20 Holy Families Homily from the Mass of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Parents are not powerless. It can be so easy for parents to feel powerless when it comes to passing on the faith to their families. But there ...
12.25.2020 12/25/20 Taken Homily from the Mass of the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas). Why is He there? When you and I look at the image of the baby Jesus in the manger, how would we answer the question: why is He there? ...
12.20.2020 12/20/20 Silent Waiting Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Advent. Silence magnifies and waiting purifies. Waiting is not meant to be wasted. The chance to wait in silence is often given by God to serve a purpose...above all to change our faith into ...
12.14.2020 12/13/20 "I Am Not" Homily from the Third Sunday of Advent. No one can take from you what doesn’t belong to you. We all have the temptation to pretend to be someone or something other than we are. To pass ourselves off as someone ...
12.07.2020 12/06/20 Legacy Homily from the Second Sunday of Advent. We can’t go back to the beginning of the story, but we can start where we are and change the ending. Saint Peter reveals that the Day is coming when The Story will ...
11.30.2020 11/29/20 Be Here Homily from the First Sunday of Advent. God will not just get us through this moment…He has brought us to this moment. Too often, we find ourselves just wanting this moment to be “done." We miss out on the miracle ...
11.30.2020 11/22/20 Roadmap: Expect Delays Homily from the Solemnity of Christ the King. What you do with the delay makes all the difference. We have a destination: to be who we are and to be that well. We have a Roadmap and a Rule of ...
11.16.2020 11/15/20 Roadmap: Checkpoints Homily from the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. What have you done with what you've been given? No one ever sets out to lose. But losing is entirely possible: in business, relationships, and in the spiritual life. It is possible ...
11.10.2020 11/08/20 Roadmap: Accident or Excellent Homily from the Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time. Excellence requires making the decision carefully, consistently, and quickly. The one question that can either deflate or motivate a person is “When?” This question reveals whether our goal is an actual goal ...
11.02.2020 11/01/20 Roadmap: Guardrails Homily from the Solemnity of All Saints. No one ever accidentally lived on purpose. No two saints are the same. There is no “cookie-cutter” path to holiness. While there are certain givens that must be present, each person has to ...
10.26.2020 10/25/20 Roadmap: Reclaimed and Repurposed Homily from the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Holiness isn’t always changing your what as much as changing your why. Our lives have been reclaimed by Christ and we have become a new creation. Because of this, every moment of ...
10.19.2020 10/18/20 Roadmap: Be A Saint Homily from the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The roadmap begins with “Who”. There is one true goal in life: to be a saint. Many of us believe this, but is there a path? Without a plan, we will certainly ...
10.12.2020 10/11/20 No Difference Homily from the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time. There are many goods. There is only one best. Modern indifference is the inability to take joy in in one's situation regardless of the circumstances. It is seeing "no difference" between the ...

09.21.2020 09/20/20 How Do I Look? Highlighter Homily from the Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. It doesn’t matter how long you live. What matters is how you live. Our lives will magnify (or highlight) something. Will they be so full of nice things that they will miss ...
09.14.2020 09/13/20 How Do I Look? The Cost of Forgiveness Homily from the Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time. There is no forgiveness without justice.
