1 day geleden10:14

10:14

The scriptures are a collection of defining moments for the Jewish and the Christian people. They have been put together for the most defining moments of our history. The Gospels are collection of defining moments of Jesus' life. And today's Gospel is a bevy of collective and of defining moments. We have multitude of them, not only just for Jesus, but for others.

Homily for the Fifth Sunday of Lent, Third Scrutiny - Showing Up 9:05

6 dagen geleden9:05

9:05

Today, more than ever, we need to be people who are willing to show up, to show up and not save people, not to rescue them, but to be present to them in the midst their suffering. Whether it be from a divorce or whether it be from a rejection of their family, or whether they are immigrants and they feel no longer welcomed, or whether they feel left out on the sides of society. Our job is to show up, to show the loving presence of God to them. (Read more…) Here is my homily for the Fifth Sunday of Lent. Please feel free to share this with others.…

8 dagen geleden7:25

7:25

All of us have made mistakes. We have all done something that was wrong, whether a little thing when we were a child or something older. We will always remember how we were treated in that moment of shame, that moment of being caught. That moment can shame us and maim us, or it can transform us into something much better, something more profound. (Read more…) Here is my homily for the Fifth Sunday of Lent.

Homily for the Third Sunday of Lent - Thin Places and Holy Ground 9:01

13 dagen geleden9:01

9:01

Our lives have become so busy and even about the good things, we can be so busy, we miss God speaking to us at these liminal moments where God is trying to say something different than what we want to hear. It might be saying something challenging that we do not want to hear. It is those moments when we are called to pause like Moses and approach it and take courage to lean in and to move closer to this space. (Read more…) Here is my homily for the third Sunday of Lent.

homily for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Second Scrutiny - Darkness Can Be Our Friend 9:24

15 dagen geleden9:24

9:24

Sometimes the darkness in our lives can be in fact our friend, because it allows us to focus only on what we need to focus on.Today we have this reading, this classic reading of the man born blind in his blindness. Here is the irony. Here is a man who is born blind, who cannot see, and yet he sees Jesus for who he really is and calls him the son of God. The Pharisees and the scribes can see, but they do not see Jesus for who he really is. (Read more…) Here is my homily for the Fourth Sunday of Lent for the Second Scrutiny.

Homily for the Fourth Sunday of Lent - Coming to His Senses 7:22

16 dagen geleden7:22

7:22

Sometimes we find it hard to accept that God would forgive us for our mistakes. Sometimes when we hurt somebody who we really love and we know we have hurt them and we ask for forgiveness from the Lord, we ask in a sense why did I do that? And we want almost to be punished a little bit because we know we were wrong. So we find it hard to sometime accept. But hopefully we will finally accept God’s forgiveness for us.

We are called to take the living waters, take the bread of life that we receive from here, and to share it with those who so desperately need that fresh living water. You and I might be the only person this week who offers it to them. If you get an inkling to be kind and gentle and not judgmental to someone in any of those categories, then this is your moment.

Homily for the Second Sunday of Lent - Come To Know Christ and Love HIm 8:46

29 dagen geleden8:46

8:46

“Who do people say that I am?” The apostles first say, you are Elijah or John the Baptist, or one of the other prophets. But then he asks them, he says, “Who do you say that I am?” And Peter, the one who confesses says, “You are the son of the living God. You are the Messiah.” Jesus must say, yes, finally he gets it. He must be delighted after all these three years. So he takes him up a mountain with his two closest apostles, James and John, and reveals himself to them. He assures them that he is the son of God.

Homily for the First Sunday of Lent - Who We Are Is the Core of Our Identity 10:33

5 weeks geleden10:33

10:33

How we refocus ourselves this Lent is not about our will. It is not us trying to will ourselves back and pushing away the devil in some dramatic fashion. Just come back to who we are. Come back to the fact that we are children of God and that God is our father. (Read more…) Here is my homily for the First Sunday of Lent. Our own Lenten journey has begun.

Homily for Ash Wednesday - I am a Sinner. I am a Hypocrite 7:58

What we do today is put ashes on our forehead. Not to have a badge of honor that says, “Look at me. I am one of the Catholic ones.” We put ashes on our forehead to remind us to say, “I am a sinner. I am a hypocrite.”But we do not stay there. We do this at the beginning of this Lenten journey. Then the rest of this Lenten journey, we focus on turning back to the Lord, (Read more…) Here is my homily for Ash Wednesday. Our own Lenten jpurney has begun. I hope you can join us this year.

Homily for the Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time - Love your Enemies 7:22

7 weeks geleden7:22

7:22

Jesus reorders life. He quotes the golden rule. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” That was in the Book of Deuteronomy as one of the laws of the Lord. But he takes it a step further. He deepens it and calls his disciples, the ones who call themselves Christian, to have a higher standard, a deeper reality. He says it is not enough, to love just your family. (Read more…) Here is my homily for the Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time. Please feel free to share with others.…

Pope Francis has declared 2025 a Jubilee Year of Hope, a timely reminder that even in the face of immense suffering in our world, we are not abandoned, Jesus always accompanies us and most especially in our times of suffering. The cross stands at the center of our faith, not as a symbol of defeat, but as a sign of ultimate hope. (Read more…) Here is my homily for the Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Homily for the Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time - Limitation to Invitation to Abundance 12:35

9 weeks geleden12:35

12:35

You can hear a sense of frustration in today’s gospel with Peter. Peter has been working hard all night with his friends, he says they were up all night and caught absolutely nothing. Then here comes Jesus. Remember, Jesus is a carpenter and he is telling the fishermen what to do. You can see how outrageous this sounds. So you can imagine what Peter is feeling, “Like really ? Put out again? Really! I have been working hard and I know my job. I know this Sea of Galilee pretty well and I have been doing this fishing thing a while.” (Read more…) Here is my homily for the Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Mary watched her son suffer greatly. This prediction by the prophet Simeon is very real. The climax of that suffering for her was at the foot of the cross. We have to examine this because it is very important how Mary suffered. It was not just that she suffered but how she suffered and gave witness to us.

Jesus is the fulfillment of the scripture. Jesus is the bright light that leads us to see all other lights. He is the one who enables us to see what God is fulfilling in our lives. So Jesus, in a sense, God becomes our north star, if you would, that we look to seek in this sky of lights. (Read more…) Here is my homily for the Third Sunday of Ordinary time.
