Find it hard to pray or approach God?  He has come among us as a vulnerable baby to teach us invite us to approach Him with adoration and without fear.

4th Sunday of Advent

Part 4 of 4 of the Gospel Summary series

 

Homily from 3rd Sunday Advent A

Continuing with 3rd part of the Gospel Proclamation series we discuss God's response to the condition of humanity after the Fall. In our hopeless separation from the author of Life, God hears humanity's cry for mercy and deliverance.

(Inspired again by Isaiah 63-64).

2nd Sunday of Advent

Part 2 of 4 - Gospel Proclamation Series

Picking up from last week we explore the Bad News of what has interrupted humanity's original state of innocence and friendship with God.  

Sin, its devastating effects, and our need for a savior.   

Who are you?  What were you made for?

The first chapter of our story reveals the answer to these questions.  

We may have lost sight of this because of chapter two in our story, but we can't understand the Gospel message without understanding our origins.

As we conclude the Liturgical Year, today's Gospel (The Judgment of the Nations aka The Sheep and the Goats) was often quoted by St. Teresa of Calcutta to simplify our response to the Gospel message.

Homily from 31st Sunday in Ordinary time, Nov 5th, 2023

The Church is the Body of Christ, with each member being a different, but integral part.  The life of St. Francis exemplifies how the different parts of the body are meant to complement one another.
