Homilies.
The liturgy of the Word is an integral part of sacramental celebrations. To nourish the faith of believers, the Homily extends the proclamation of the Word of God. For your reflection Homilies will be posted as they become available.
SAINT POLYCARP
Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Polycarp. Polycarp is one of the Fathers of the early Church. His main claim to fame is that he was converted to Christianity by St. John the Apostle and lived in the time soon after the death of the Apostles. Therefore,...
7TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME(C)
In today’s Gospel, Jesus removes all doubt. He makes it clear how he expects his followers to behave. The 1st point that Jesus makes is that following the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do to you” is the bare minimum. As disciples of the Lord, we...
THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH (C)
I would like us to reflect on 2 themes developed in today’s Gospel. The 1st theme is that dedication to family and love of family are important Christian values. Why would I say this? History tells us that Jesus was approximately...
MARY, THE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD (C)
Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. This is our Lady’s greatest title. On this day, I would like us to reflect on 3 “M” words associated with Mary: mother, mediatrix and model. First, Mary is mother. That’s the main point of the...
SAINT ELIZABETH OF HUNGARY

1ST SUNDAY OF ADVENT (C)
Happy New Year, everyone! No, I am not bewildered and confused. The Church year does not begin on Jan. 1. Today is the 1st Sunday of Advent and the beginning of a new liturgical year. As we journey through Advent, it is important to recall that the season of Advent...

Only 3 Popes have had “the Great” appended to their names: Pope St. Leo I (reigned 440–61), Pope St. Gregory I (590–604), and Pope St. Nicholas I (858–67). Some are predicting that it is just a matter of time before John Paul II will be referred to as St. John...
31ST WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME (WEDNESDAY)
Today’s Readings reinforce the themes of last Sunday’s liturgy: the 2 great commandments: love of God and love of neighbor. The 1st commandment of love of God is the subject of today’s Gospel. First of all, it needs to pointed...
30TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME (WEDNESDAY)
Today’s Gospel presents a question that we have all asked at one point in our lives: “Lord, will only a few be saved?” We all wrestle with the notions of heaven and hell; salvation and damnation. We often wonder about whether few or whether many will be saved. ...
THE NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
The Liturgical calendar only celebrates 3 birthdays. On December 25, the Church celebrates the birth of Jesus; on June 24, the birth of John the Baptist; and on September 8, the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The church teaches that Jesus is fully human and fully...
