    2/8/26: Be Salt and Light

    Matthew 5:13-16. Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Jesus calls all christians to be salt and light in the world. We need to bring flavor, keep corruption at bay, and bring up the temperature of holiness, like salt; and we need to give those around us the feeling of safety and truth, like light. Salt and light blend in seamlessly to their surroundings, and we should do the same, bringing the light of Christ to others in a natural, not ostentatious, way.

    1/25/26: Be Fishers of Men

    Matthew 4:12-23. Homily from the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time. Jesus called the first disciples to leave their fishing nets and become fishers of men. This is an apostolic mission for every Christian. Father Michael Casey draws out the analogy of fishing in the context of evangelism, showing how when people come to Christ, they leave the dark waters of sin to come to new life in the light we were made for.

    1/18/26: A Time to Grow

    John 1:29-34. Homily from the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. When we see green vestments at church, we should think about how we’re growing as Christians in the two main areas of holiness and apostolate. Holiness is the primary vocation of every Christian, and we’re all called to share the good news about Jesus with those around us. To learn more, visit www.stfranciscatholic.org/

    1/11/26: He Makes the Water Holy

    Matthew 3:13-17. Homily from the Baptism of the Lord. The rest of us need to be baptized in order to be made holy. But when Jesus was baptized, He made baptism holy. Because of this, baptism, like all the sacraments, isn’t just a sign or symbol. It causes a new reality: we are washed of our sins, made children of God, and united to His church.

    12/28/25: Holiness in Family Life

    Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23. Homily from the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Jesus sanctified everything He touched, and because He was born into a family, He sanctified family life. For people who live in families, family life is the path to holiness. Loving your family, being patient with each other, and even chores like doing the dishes are sanctifying when done in the name of Jesus. To learn more, visit www.stfranciscatholic.org/

    12/25/25: Because He Loves Us

    Matthew 1:18-25. Homily from the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas Vigil). God doesn’t want us to be afraid to be in relationship with Him, so He made Himself as small as He could, coming to us as a baby. He came to us out of love for us. In return, we should love Him and re-order our lives the way we so naturally do when we love someone. To learn more, visit www.stfranciscatholic.org/

    12/21/25: The Annunciation to St. Joseph

    Matthew 1:18-21. Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Advent. There are three possible reasons why Joseph initially chose to divorce Mary when he learned she was pregnant. Whatever the reason, when God told Joseph in a dream to take Mary as his wife, he immediately followed God’s will. Are we willing to change our own minds when God shows us that we’re wrong?
