Credo! Catholic Truth in an Age of Relativism

Here is the homily I gave for the  14th Sunday in Ordinary Time.  This is the final homily in the series, "The Burden That Sets Us Free." By yoking ourselves to Christ, our burden is lightened and Jesus gives us the Freedom to live as Children of God.

Here is the homily I gave for the  13th Sunday in Ordinary Time . This is the 3rd in the series, "The Burden That Sets Us Free." Jesus delivers some of the most difficult words to His listeners - you must Love Him over every one else.

Here is the homily I gave for the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This is the second in the series, "The Burden that Sets Us Free." More Catholics need to move from being consumers in the pew to contributors.

Here is the homily I gave for the  11th Sunday in Ordinary TIme . This is the first of a four part series entitled, "The Burden that Sets Us Free." In our return to Ordinary Time, we pick up with Jesus forming His disciples for mission. Every Baptized person should share in the mission of Jesus Christ. Spending our lives for Jesus is a burden, but one that liberates us.

Here is the homily I gave for the  Solemnity of Corpus Christi . This is the last in the series, "Closer Than We Realize." On this Feast where we emphasize the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, we should all take a moment to examine our consciences and seek God's Mercy before approaching the Altar.

Here is the homily I gave for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. This is the second in the series, "Closer Than We Realize." If God truly is Love, than we, created in His Image and Likeness, should be Love for one another.

Here is the homily I gave for Pentecost Sunday. This is the first in the series, "Closer than We Realize." So often we envision the coming of the Holy Spirit in grand manifestations. However, the Holy Spirit comes to us in so many simple and ordinary ways. The Spirit is Closer to us than we realize.

Here is the homily I gave for the  Seventh Sunday of Easter . This is the final part of the series, "...Now Let It Change You." We are all given gifts or charisms to be used in giving Glory to God. Since this Mass was to honor Fr. Francis, I spoke about his charism of generosity.

Here is the homily I gave for Ascension Thursday. The fact that Jesus ascended into Heaven is the source of our Hope.

Here is the homily I gave to the children for the 6th Sunday of Easter. This is the 4th in the series, "...Now Let It Change You." We often think that Love comes with no strings attached. Yet Jesus says, "If you Love Me." Our lives should be very different because He is Risen and Loves us.

Here is the homily I gave for the 5th Sunday of Easter. This is the second in the series, "...Now Let It Change You." Jesus makes it clear that one of the changes has to be with regard to our Faith and Trust in Him. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is no other.

Here is the homily I gave for the  4th Sunday of Easter . This the first in the series, "...Now Let It Change You." In talking to the children, I reminded them of how important it is to listen for the voide of THE Shepherd. As believers, we all desire going to Heaven, and the way to get there is to follow THE Shepherd. To assist in this task, Jesus has given us shepherds through the voca...

Here is the homily I gave for the 3rd Sunday of Easter. This is the last in the series, "You Know What Has Happened." Like the 2 disciples on the Road to Emaus, we are often blinded to the presence of Jesus in our midst. Yet He is always present to us in the Eucharist.

Here is the homily I gave for  Divine Mercy Sunday . This is the second in the series, "You Know What Has Happened." We are so often blinded by the events in our lives that we fail to realize Jesus is in our midst and wants to give us His Mercy.

Here is the homily I gave for  Easter at the Easter Vigil . This is the first in the series, "You Know What Has Happened." We live in a world that cultivates a 2 dimensional attention span. God needs us to be open to the impossible, which we cannot perceive until we open ourselves to the depths of reality.

Here is the homily I gave for  Palm Sunday . This is the last in the series, "I Thirst." Jesus suffered so that we can be forgiven. Surrender all to Him.

Here is the homily I gave for the  5th Sunday of Lent . This is part of the series, "I Thirst!" In a world that believes we can avoid suffering, as Christians we realize that suffering is redemptive.  

Here is the homily I gave for the  Fourth Sunday of Lent . This is part of our Lenten series, "I Thirst." This homily was for the children and their parents. It is all the more important that we serve Christ in others today. It is up to us to heal the blindness we have to those around us.

Here is the homily I gave for the  3rd Sunday of Lent . This is the third in the series, "I Thirst." When someone's Thirst is Satisfied by Christ, you want everyone to know about it.

Here is the homily I gave for the  Second Sunday of Lent . This is part of our Lenten Series, "I Thirst." In this second week, we focus on Prayer as Thirst. 

Here is the homily I gave for the  First Sunday of Lent . This is part of the Lenten series, "I Thirst." This week I speak about the dynamics of thirst. Because we are not talking about physical thirst, we need to dig deeply into God's Thirst of us and our thirst for God.

Here is the homily I gave on  Ash Wednesday . This is the introduction to the series, "I Thirst." St. Mother Teresa had the words I Thirst next to every Cross in every Chapel in her order. She wanted to remind the sisters that their mission was to satiate the Thirst of Jesus for souls and for Love.

Here is the homily I gave for the  6th Sunday in Ordinary Time . This is the last in the series, "On Purpose." As Jesus raises the bar in the Sermon on the Mount, it reminds us that we need to be intentional about our Christianity. In effect, we need to be integrated fully, both in our interior disposition and our exterior disposition.

Here is the homily I gave for the  5th Sunday in Ordinary Time . This is the 4th in the series, "On Purpose." No one is Christian by accident. If we say we are Christian, then we must live our Christianity with purpose.

Here is the homily I gave for the  4th Sunday in Ordinary Time . This is the third in the series, "On Purpose." As Christians, we are meant to empty ourselves in humility before God. In this way, we keep our vision on our destiny and direct our lives toward it on purpose.
