We all struggle with our love of money and possessions. Our love for our stuff stands in the way of a love for God and others. Which is how we fulfill the commandments. We don’t just follow the rules to get the reward of eternal life. The commandments are eternal life because they are God’s life and God is love. The commandments are not the way to …

This week’s reading from St. James offers a stark warning to the rich about the fleeting nature of wealth, while the Gospel contains harsh admonitions about sin, with Jesus encouraging the removal of anything that causes sin, even if that means drastic measures. Despite this challenging message, we can find hope in the first reading of the lectiona…

This sermon focuses on the theme of active faith and its transformative power in our lives. It begins by discussing how openness—both of the heart and the eyes—enables us to see ourselves and Jesus for who we truly are. The pivotal question from the Gospel, "Who do you say that I am?" leads to Peter's confession, "You are the Christ," which lies at…

This sermon emphasizes the importance of openness in the Christian faith, as exemplified by the word "Ephphatha," meaning "be open" in Mark 7. The call in St. James’ epistle today is for Christians to be impartial and open-hearted, recognizing the value and dignity of every person, regardless of their status. The overarching theme is that being ope…

The readings today call us: Choose this day whom you will serve? This choice cannot be ala carte - picking and choosing what we want and rejecting what we don’t want. Because everything Scripture teaches connects back to Jesus. It is personal. We are choosing or rejecting him. This is important when we look at many of the “issues” of our day around…

This Sunday we hit the “summit” of Jesus’ Eucharistic teaching in John 6. In graphic terms he shows us how essential his flesh and blood is so that we may: Have eternal life Be raised up on the last day Abide in him St. Teresa of Avila said: If we but paused for a moment to consider attentively what takes place in this Sacrament of the Eucharist, I…

Last week we heard about our spiritual hunger - the desire to be satisfied. But this week the reading takes hunger to the extreme - when we are starving and can’t go on. Like Elijah who comes off a spiritual high to crash to the lows of fear and despair, the Lord wants to feed us with food that will make us truly live: Jesus, the Bread of Life.…

The miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 is the key to our lives. It teaches us to: Realize it all comes from God and give thanks. When we put it all back in Jesus’ hands, he will multiply it. This miracle ultimately points to the miracle of the Eucharist where Jesus takes a little bread and wine and satisfies the deepest desires of our hearts.…

Every time the Church stands at an inflection point in its history; the Lord has one request: rest a while. After intensely laboring and looking to further the mission of Christ, the Lord asks us to come and simply be with him so that he can give us repose and refresh our soul. By doing this, it helps us keep the main thing the main thing. As Trini…

Like Jesus’ own kin, we are cursed by familiarity. We know who Jesus is with our heads, but for some reason the wonder of our hearts has been transformed into apathy. We begin to believe the devil when he asks if God really said, or if God can really handle our situations in life, or if he can really act. This only leads us to become apathetic towa…

Our Gospel tells of a woman who suffers from chronic bleeding and a father in crisis: his daughter is dying. Suffering is sometimes chronic, sometimes a crisis. But this story shows us how we get through such times. We need Jesus. We need to wait on him. And we trust that he will give more. 1. We need Jesus. 2. We need to wait on him. 3. We trust t…

When God asked Adam and Eve after the Fall, “Where are you?” He wasn’t inquiring about the location of their bodies, but the location of their hearts. By eating the forbidden fruit and straying from the Lord, our first parents lost their identity and began to search for it behind fig leaves. Our fig leaves have gotten more sophisticated over the ye…

All the blood in Scripture is hard for us to understand. It seems gory and barbaric. But in Scripture, blood is life. And shared blood is shared life. Sin, however, brings death. So blood - life - is poured out. But God pours his lifeblood into us. Foreshadowed at Sinai (Ex. 24) and on Yom Kippur (Lev. 16), Jesus takes his divine blood and pours it…

“God himself is an eternal exchange of love, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and he has destined us to share in that exchange.” (CCC 221) “In the core of the Trinity, the Father laughs and gives birth to the Son. The Son laughs back at the Father and gives birth to the Spirit. The whole Trinity laughs and gives birth to us. All things love God.” (Mei…
