    6/01/26: Sharing in the Divine Nature

    Monday mass. 6.01.26. In this homily, I reflect on the feast of St. Justin Martyr — a philosopher who searched for truth until he found it in Christ — and connect his story to what St. Peter tells us in the first reading: that we are called to share in the divine nature of God.

    5/31/26: One God, Three Persons, One Love

    Sunday Mass. Feast of the Holy Trinity. 5.31.26. On Trinity Sunday, I walk through each reading to show how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit reveal a God who is not distant but personal—a family of love inviting us in. From Moses on the mountain, to Paul's greeting in Corinthians, to John 3:16, everything points to a God who gave everything out of love. The Trinity isn't just a doctrine to believe; it's a life to live.

    5/27/26: Ask the Spirit to Illuminate What You Can't Understand

    Wednesday mass. 5.27.26. In this homily, I reflect on how only the Holy Spirit can bring light to the suffering and trials we face. Using the gospel where the disciples ask to be number one right after Jesus announces his own death, I explore how easily we chase blessings while avoiding the cross — and why we can't get Easter without it. The Spirit's gift of knowledge helps us see our situation through God's eyes, even when it makes no sense to the world.

    5/26/26: What Angels Wish They Had

    Tuesday Mass. 5.26.26. In this homily, I reflect on how easy it is to take our Catholic faith for granted. St. Peter reminds his community — and us — that the prophets longed for what we already have. Jesus promises a hundredfold return to those who give up everything for the gospel. As we enter Ordinary Time, I invite you to rediscover the extraordinary gift of the faith — and to live it with the joy of St. Philip Neri, so that others may be drawn to the Church.

    5/25/26: From Pentecost to Ordinary Time, Mary Is With Us

    Monday Mass. 5.25.26. On the feast of Mary, Mother of the Church, I reflect on how Mary was present at every pivotal moment — the birth of Jesus, the cross, and the birth of the Church at Pentecost. As we enter Ordinary Time, she stands with us too, guiding us toward the gifts the Holy Spirit has placed in each of us.

    5/24/26: Seven Gifts, One Mission

    Feast of Pentecost. 5.24.26. In this homily, I walk through all seven gifts of the Holy Spirit — wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord — with a simple definition and real-life example for each. These gifts are given at Confirmation, but they only grow when we use them.

    5/22/26: Do You Love Me?

    Friday Mass. 5.22.26. I reflect on Jesus restoring Peter after his three denials, and what it means that Jesus meets Peter in his philia love rather than demanding agape. We're on the same journey — growing into a love we can't sustain on our own. Pentecost is the answer: the Holy Spirit pours out the love we need to get there.

    5/20/26: Entrusted with Everything

    Wednesday Mass. 5.20.26. In this homily, I reflect on St. Paul's farewell to the bishops and priests of Ephesus and Jesus' final prayer to the Father in John 17. The Church was bought with a price — the price of blood — and we are called to never forget what our faith cost. Jesus entrusts us to the Father and sends us into the world, not to belong to it, but to give our lives away in service, sacrifice, and love.
