Fr. Kyle’s Homilies

Fr. Kyle continues his homily series on the church, covering paragraphs 767-769 of the Catechism.  In this part III, we see the Christ fulfilled the life of the Church.  We See in the story of Israel and gave birth to the Church on the cross.  The epiphany of the Church came at Pentecost, where Jesus' commissioning of the Apostles to evangelize begins.  Finally, the Church is being perfect but wil...

Fr. Kule continues his series on the Church.  This week he covers paragraphs 758-762 of the Catechism.  God created the world for communion with his divine life.  This is the Church.

Father Kyle begins a series on the Church by inviting us to define the Church and provides us with the roots of its name.

Father Kyle reintroduces us to Saints Peter and Paul.  He invites us to look at them and all Saints to let them live again by using their teaching to derive inspiration for improving our lives.  

The Disciples that earlier in life had struggles became embolden and started to proclaim Christ.  Thomas founded the Church in India while Peter became a great speaker.  Fr Kyle noted that it is the same Christ that was in them that are in us, today.

On this Ascension Sunday, Fr. Kyle talks about Jurassic Park, and that although Jesus ascended he didn't leave us. Rather he gave us his Spirit and the promise of the heavenly kingdom, for these reason Christians are people of hope 

On this Second Sunday of Lent, Fr. Kyle reflects on Psalm 116 as a prayer of thanksgiving for deliverance from death. Through the lens of Christ’s resurrection, we see that death has been rendered harmless, and suffering redeemed as a path to growth and life. God sanctifies even death for those who love Him.

Fr. Kyle on this First Sunday of Lent reminds us how we reflect on how Jesus sanctified temptation by facing it himself. Psalm 25 reminds us that deliverance assumes danger, physical, spiritual, and moral. Lent calls us to resist complacency, pray with humility, and remember that God's compassion and love are always our refuge in times of trial.

 Psalm 32 - Fr. Kyle reminds us that there is great benefit in repenting and receiving God's forgiveness and great danger and pain when we don't.

Psalm 147 - The Hallel Palms.  Hallelujah means praise the Lord.  Fr Kyle suggest that we should be saying this for four reasons: 1. Raises us above earthly things.  2. Becomes a foretaste of Haven.  3.  Nothing is sweeter to the lover than to praise his beloved.  4.  He is due it. We can always find times in our life that we can take a moment to praise God.

Fr Kyle continues to show us how the Psalms can teach us how to pray, specifically prayers of gratitude.

Fr Kyle encourages us to pray with Scripture. 

Reflecting on 1 Samuel 3 and Samuel's response to God in the temple as a child, Fr. Kyle reminds us that we cannot grow in faith alone. We need community. 

Fr. Kyle dives into the Our Father. 

On this patrol feast, Fr. Kyle reflects on the family as the domestic Church. 

On Christmas morning, Fr. Kyle encourages us to be like Christ, little children, dependent on God. 

Fr. Kyle reflects on darkness, that it can be both a time of peace and a time of violence. Jesus can and does embody both, the peace for our good and the violence against our vice. 

To begin the celebration of Christmas, Fr. Kyle reflects on Isaiah's prophecy, "The Lord delights in you and makes your land is spouse." The Incarnation is so great and glorious mystery it demands of us the awe and wonder of a child on Christmas morning. 

On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, Fr. Kyle talks about how even though God is bigger than our imagination, he works and acts in very simple ways, if we have the eyes to see. 

Celebrating Gaudete Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent Fr. Kyle reflects on the meaning of joy and how we can live a more joyful life.

On the Second Sunday of Advent, Fr. Kyle reflects on the radical humility of St. John the Baptist and that we don't write our own stories. 

As we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and the great grace God gave her, Fr. Kyle challenges us to imitate Mary in her yes. 

As the new liturgical year begins, Fr. Kyle reflects on how we can best live out our Advent well using the analogy of baking a cake. 

For the final Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Kyle reflects on the two ways Matthew 25 show us how Christ the King reveals himself and that we need to roll out the red carpet for both. 

This week Fr. Kyle gives his final sermon for the Series on the Mass covering the Concluding Rites of the Mass
