Sunday Mass. 9.20.26. This homily reflects on the parable of the workers in the vineyard, examining why God's generosity can stir envy in those who feel they've earned more. It contrasts those who come to faith late in life with those who have served faithfully from the beginning, reframing long-term devotion not as a burden but as a privilege — an early invitation to labor and love in God's vineyard. It closes with a call to give thanks for being known by God at all, whenever that calling comes.
Saturday Mass. 9.19.26. This homily is about St. Januarius, a fifth-century bishop martyred for refusing to renounce his faith, whose blood is said to liquefy each year in Naples as a sign of God's presence. Drawing on this tradition alongside St. Paul's teaching on the resurrection of the body, it reflects on how God offers signs of hope while still calling us to faith and trust.
Wednesday Mass. 9.16.26. This homily explores the witness of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, third-century martyrs who defended the Church's power to forgive those who had renounced their faith under persecution, insisting that God's mercy cannot be limited. Drawing a connection to Saint Paul's teaching on spiritual gifts, the homily reflects on how every gift in the Church—teaching, preaching, healing—is meaningless without love, since love alone endures into eternity. It closes with a reflection on how the saints' struggles across the centuries mirror our own, offering hope and purpose in the ongoing call to love.
Tuesday Mass. 9.15.26. This homily reflects on the Feast of Mary through the lens of a mother's love, drawn from a conversation with a parishioner about her children. It explores why Mary is called our mother, connecting John's Gospel account at the cross and Saint Paul's image of the Body of Christ. The homily describes Mary's "yes" as a total gift of herself to Christ's mission, and reflects on how she understands human suffering and struggle without having sinned herself. It closes with an invitation to bring one's personal struggles to Mary, trusting her to lead hearts toward Jesus.
Monday Mass. 9.14.26. This homily reflects on the Exaltation of the Cross, drawing on the story of the bronze serpent in the desert as a foreshadowing of Christ's own suffering. It explores how sin destroys and poisons, and how God's response was not to escape suffering but to enter into it alongside humanity. The homily closes with an invitation to let the cross be a source of strength for carrying life's own burdens.
Friday Mass. 9.11.26. This homily reflects on the Gospel's call to help bring back those who are far from God, and the temptation to approach that mission with judgment rather than love. It explores Jesus' teaching on the splinter and the wooden beam, using it to highlight the danger of correcting others while ignoring one's own faults. Drawing on the theme of hypocrisy, the homily emphasizes that authentic ministry begins with humility—facing one's own sins and struggles before ever trying to guide someone else.
Wednesday Mass. 9.09.26. This homily is about the life of St. Peter Claver, who ministered to enslaved people arriving on ships in Colombia, offering them care, dignity, and the Gospel despite the horrors of the slave trade. It connects his witness to Luke's version of the Beatitudes, exploring the "great reversal" where the poor, hungry, and weeping are called blessed while the rich and comfortable are warned.
Tuesday Mass. 9.08.26. This homily is about the Nativity of Mary and what it reveals about human dignity and purpose. Drawing on the prophet Micah's foretelling of a coming ruler, the homily traces how both Mary and Jesus were born into obscurity and smallness, showing that God often works through what the world considers insignificant. It reflects on how Mary's "yes" to God changed the course of salvation history, and invites listeners to see their own existence — however ordinary or overlooked it may feel — as willed by God and connected to that same story of salvation.
