Where Can We Find Jesus?
Dear Brothers and Sisters, The feast of the Holy Family is usually the Sunday after Christmas and is a marvelous solemnity about the holiness of the Christian family and how it was designed by God. The Holy Family is made up of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. This is not the prototype of a Christian family…

Where Is Your Home?
Dear Brothers and Sisters, I would like to speak the truth to you rather than giving you pious, pretty words. I want to give you some really solid, substantial, not something merely emotional or sentimental. Today, a Messiah is born for you who is the Lord! I always loved this gospel and this holy night…

Mary Always Brings Us Christ
Dear Brothers and Sisters, I hope this Eucharist lifts us up and makes clear what the Lord wants us to do. He loves us so much that he does not want us to be exhausted, anxious or sad. The Sun of Justice rose this morning on a few inches of snow that were light as…

His Kingdom Does Not Resist Evil
Dear Brothers and Sisters, This feast of Christ the King is wonderful and very popular but resist turning it into something sweet and melancholic.

We Have Only Two Pennies
Dear Brothers and Sisters, This word is wonderful, and there are several small things that helped me this week. First, is seeing that Jesus is watching those who are pouring money into the treasure. Jesus is looking at you today because to look is to love. You look at what you love. If you love…

You Are Not Far From The Kingdom
Dear Brothers and Sisters, It is wonderful how the last part of the gospel has Jesus saying, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” He does not tell them that you are already in the kingdom, but you are not far from it. He can say this because he knows that the kingdom…
