    The Slow Work of Interiorization: Walking on Water with Peter [19th Sunday OT Year A] (08/09/2026)

    Learning that we are loved is rarely an instant transformation—it takes time for the truth of God’s love to sink into our hearts. In this homily for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A), Fr. Branson explores Peter’s bold step onto the stormy waters and what it means to move from a survival mindset into the vulnerability of true trust in Christ. ---------------------------------- ⁠Readings for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time (08/09/2026) 1 Kings 19:9a, 11-13a Psalm 85:9, 10, 11-12, 13-14 Romans 9:1-5 Matthew 14:22-33 ⁠⁠⁠Read on the USCCB website⁠⁠⁠ ---------------------------------- University Catholic Center at Emory University ⁠Send us a prayer request⁠ ⁠Mass Times⁠ ⁠Directions⁠ ⁠Contact Us⁠ ---------------------------------- Support students in their walk with Christ ⁠Donate today!⁠ ----------------------------------

    Out of Proportion: Silence, Surrender, and the Miracle of the Loaves [18th Sunday OT Year A] (08/02/2026)

    What happens when we feel like we don't have enough left in the tank? Why does Jesus command the crowd to sit and be still before feeding them? In this homily, Fr. Branson explores the posture of receiving, the power of handing over our small gifts to God, and how He produces a spiritual fruitfulness in our lives that is entirely out of proportion to our own efforts. ---------------------------------- ⁠Readings for the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time (08/02/2026) Isaiah 55:1-3 Psalm 145:8-9, 15-16, 17-18 Romans 8:35, 37-39 Matthew 14:13-21 ⁠⁠⁠Read on the USCCB website⁠⁠⁠ ---------------------------------- University Catholic Center at Emory University ⁠Send us a prayer request⁠ ⁠Mass Times⁠ ⁠Directions⁠ ⁠Contact Us⁠ ---------------------------------- Support students in their walk with Christ ⁠Donate today!⁠ ----------------------------------

    Reawakening Desire: The Pearl of Great Price and the Total Gift of Self [17th Sunday OT Year A] (07/26/2026)

    In a world filled with endless noise and distraction, how do we regain our ability to recognize what truly matters? In this homily, Fr. Branson explores Jesus’s parables of the treasure in the field and the pearl of great price. Far from being obscure riddles, these parables are meant to break through the static, reawaken deep desire, and invite us into a total, undivided gift of self. ---------------------------------- ⁠Readings for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (07/26/2026) 1 Kings 3:5, 7-12 Psalm 119:57, 72, 76-77, 127-128, 129-130 Romans 8:28-30 Matthew 13:44-52 ⁠⁠Read on the USCCB website⁠⁠ ---------------------------------- University Catholic Center at Emory University Send us a prayer request Mass Times Directions Contact Us ---------------------------------- Support students in their walk with Christ Donate today! ----------------------------------
