    11/03/24 Made for Worship: Kingdom Priests

    Homily from the Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time. Worship is not about what we get, but about what we can give. When it comes to Mass, we often complain that we "don't get anything out of it". Is that what Mass is about? Is that what love is about? Or is love (and worship) about what we can give? Mass Readings from November 3, 2024: Deuteronomy 6:2-6 Psalms 18:2-4, 47, 51Hebrews 7:23-28 Mark 12:28-34

    10/27/24 Made for Worship: Presence and Sacrifice

    10/20/24 Made for Worship: Worth-ship

    Homily from the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time. A thing is worth what someone is willing to sacrifice for it. How do we know what a thing is worth?

    10/06/24 Marriage: A Catholic Vision

    Homily from the Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. God has called us here. God is with us here. God will not leave us here. Marriage will always be a challenge.

    28 SEPT

    09/29/24 Desperate for Freedom

    Homily from the Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Restriction is the first step towards freedom. God is good. God wants all of us to have the fullness of life and of joy. God wants all of us to have HIM. But there are things that suffocate joy. There are things in our lives that rob us of God. There are things that we choose to keep in our lives that strip us of freedom. And Jesus calls us to be ruthless in how we approach those things. Mass Readings from September 29, 2024: Nehemiah 11:25-29 Psalms 19:8, 10, 12-14James 5:1-6 Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48

    21 SEPT

    09/22/24 Ordinary Great Things

    Homily from the Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Not all ambition is bad. Every good thing that we have in our lives we most likely have because an individual (or group of individuals) wanted to do something great. Jesus warns us of the dangers of wanting to be first. James warns us about selfish ambition. But is every desire to be great or to do great things wrong? Mass Readings from September 22, 2024: Wisdom 2:12, 17-20 Psalms 54:3-6 and 8James 3:16—4:3 Mark 9:30-37
