Homilies

New! Feed Your Soul

Antonio P. Pueyo
In the depths of our being, our longings are for eternity. We make promises to love forever. Our desires seem to be insatiable. Our thoughts have no boundaries. In these tendencies to look beyond time and the here and now, we see the road signs to eternity. Something in us makes us long for eternity. It is our soul. Its home is in the heart of God. As St. Augustine said, "You have made us for yourself O Lord and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."

New! God Likes Sparrows - But Loves You and Me

Proclaim Sermons
As Jesus prepares his disciples to proclaim the Good News to the world, he reminds them to always remember that each human being is precious in God's sight. That truth should inform how we live today, how we do ministry and how we encounter every person we meet, including people we don't much like.

New! A Hostile Environment. (Ordinary Time 12)

Proclaim Sermons
The issue of climate change and the impact of severe weather have become a political hot button and a topic that can quickly boil over into fierce arguments, fueling our feelings of impotence and apathy. But we don't have to be trapped in "us-versus-them" binaries. Jesus offers an alternative throughout the gospel: Love each other.
