Homilies

The power of the Eucharist can shape our past, our present, and our future.

Sending is what God does to God’s daughters and sons. God makes us. God saves us. God sends us.

There is more than one ascension. We are able to identify multiple, smaller ascensions in our lives.

Loving others in general is a noble and beautiful ideal. But loving particular people can be a challenge.

Jesus is asking us to forgive others and then to hold them fast. We are to do this communally, as a Church.

Mark positions two unnamed young men in his gospel to describe the transformation that Jesus’ resurrection brings about.

Negative habits hurt us. But even though we know that light is for our good, we cling to the darkness.

When we make major decisions in our lives that we often believe that know what we are getting into. But this is seldom the case.

The minute we forget our status as beloved daughters and sons of God, the Good News evaporates.

The devil does not usually come to us as a wild beast but as something that is holy and good.

Our sins and our failures are no barriers to God. We are not contagious to Jesus. He has the power to make us whole.
