Homilies
Christmas Pilgrimage
All of us, regardless of our circumstances, are called to celebrate this Christmas as pilgrims.
A Banquet of Locusts and Honey
The food of John the Baptist describes the lives that we live, both locusts and honey.
Trusting the Potter
This upcoming year is not so much about what we are going to do but about what God is going to do for us.
Paying Attention
The servant who buried his master’s money did so because he was not paying attention.
Loving Like a Wise Virgin
The refusal of the wise virgins to share reminds us that love is not always giving our neighbor what he or she asks.
When Heroes Fail
For all the people who prove themselves unworthy of our imitation, there are still some people who inspire us.
Not One Command but Two
When Jesus is asked to give one commandment, he gives two instead. This is intentional, because two commandments are actually one.
Accepting the Invitations of Life
When we choose to refuse a personal invitation of God, there are consequences.
Using Bad Consequences
All of us have said words and made choices we regret. But we can use them to move to a better place.
The First and the Last
The parable of the workers in the vineyard tells us something about a national policy on immigration.
