Towards That I Am

Advent begins, and it is a journey, as is life itself, which can only be successful if, like a journey, we move towards the End, which is in fact moving towards us, and even meets us from time to time in advance.

That For Which We Give Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving!

Reciprocating the Love Given to Us

This weekend I gave a special presentation for the homily. Unusual, I know--but necessary. Follow this link to view it: https://youtu.be/LgTHJvLlW50
 

If You Think About It, You Know It’s True

Wisdom helps to see the particular in light of the whole. It sheds light on what's truly meaningful, and on what's but empty show. Homily for the 32nd Sunday of Ordinary Time.

The Example Others Deserve and Our Call Demands

Don't underestimate your calling and the power of a credible witness. Homily for the 31st Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Sealed with Encouragement in the Midst of Trials

Evil has not yet run its course and been brought to an end by God, but He has equipped His holy ones with the Power to faithfully persevere. Homily for All Saints Day.

Our Identification with Love

If God is Love, and we're stamped with His image, then our existence, purpose and fulfillment are wrapped up with love, too. Homily for the 30th Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Rising to Meet Today’s Challenges

Today is the Feast Day of St. John Paul II. His encounter with the Soviets is instructive for the challenges confronting us today, as we seek to follow Christ's command to Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. Homily for the 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time and our Patronal Feast Day.
