Homilies

It is not new to say that we need others. But it is new to say that we need every other.

Jesus tells us that life is not primarily about protecting ourselves from hurt, but risking to love in the truth.

Sometimes it is only when we receive the final gift that it becomes clear what our earlier hoping was about.

Jesus criticizes the Pharisees and us because at times we confuse lesser things with the most important things.

With all the issues Mary had to address, the last thing she needed was a journey to some Judean town in the hill country.

There is nothing like a beautiful story. But the lives which create the stories are often less smooth.

The season of Advent calls us to let go of the stories of our hurt so that our hearts can heal.

Only three things are necessary to connect with God, and all three are always present.

Living in the truth is not easy. It requires courage to face what is real in our lives and to respond to that reality wisely.

When a change comes in our life, faith asks us to believe that it will not destroy us but will open our eyes to a new way of living.
