    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

    09/08/24 Nothing to Offer

    Homily from the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. Love the person in front of you. It is easy to walk through life and feel invisible. Like you don't matter. Like you have nothing to offer. But when we are seen by Christ, all of that has the potential to change. And then we can begin to see that we are called to love the person in front of us who has nothing to offer. Mass Readings from September 8, 2024: Isaiah 35:4-7 Psalms 146:6-10James 2:1-5 Mark 7:31-37
