    11/26/23 Based On a True Story: Unwritten

    Homily from the Solemnity of Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.
    Your part of the story (Act IV) remains unwritten.
    Jesus has bridged the unbridgable gap between God and humanity. We can believe that and remain unchanged. But if we are willing to respond, we can write the final act of the story. We can place ourselves under the Lordship of Christ and live an entirely new life.
    Mass Readings from November 26, 2023: Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15-17 Psalms 23:1-3, 5-61 Corinthians 15:20-26, 28 Matthew 25:31-46

    11/19/23 Based On a True Story: Otherwise

    Homily from the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time.
    It could have been otherwise.
    We have been created good by the good God. But we have been captured by sin, death, and slavery. In Jesus, God has rescued us and transferred us into His Kingdom…His family.
    Mass Readings from November 19, 2023: Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31 Psalms 128:1-51 Thessalonians 5:1-6 Matthew 25:14-30

    Homily from the Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time.
    There's good news and there's bad news.
    We have heard the first part (Act One) of the Good News. But before we can move forward, we need to be aware of and understand why things are so broken. Before anything else, we need the bad news.
    Mass Readings from November 12, 2023: Wisdom 6:12-16 Psalms 63:2-81 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Matthew 25:1-13

    Homily from the Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time.
    Am I basing my life on the gospel of the world or the Gospel of God?
    We are surrounded by stories. Stories that try to make sense of the world. But not every story is true. In fact, there are many stories that are false. We are called to base our lives on the true story… The story of the Gospel of God.
    Mass Readings from November 5, 2023: Malachi 1:14-2:2, 8-10 Psalms 131:1-31 Thessalonians 2:7-9, 13 Matthew 23:1-12

    11/1/23 "All of the Saints"

    Homily from the Solemnity of All Saints.
    One day, this day could be your feast day.
    The Feast of All Saints is offered to us as a day to praise God for all of the unnamed and unknown saints who have run the race well and have entered into the glorious and unadulterated Presence of the true and living God.
    Mass Readings from November 1, 2023}: Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14 Psalms 24:1-61 John 3:1-3 Matthew 5:1-12

    10/29/23 Lost: Love Is the Way

    Homily from the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
    You are called to be love.
    When a person is lost, they need to know where they are. We know: you are here. But we also need to know where we are going and how to get there. We know that as well: we are called to be saints and the way is love.
    Mass Readings from October 29, 2023: Exodus 22:20-26 Psalms 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 511 Thessalonians 1:5-10 Matthew 22:34-40

Absolutely Amazing

Thank you for making this available. It’s amazing to listen to Fr. Mike before I go to mass. He makes the Gospel so clear and it allows me to focus during the service.

Profound lesson on love and obedience

If you want a taste of why Father Mike’s homilies are so effective in building up the Body of Christ, listen to the 10/1/23 homily. Highlights: “Love regardless.” “Freedom is a prerequisite to any meaningful ‘yes’.”
