Epiphany Sunday

Homily on Sunday, January 2nd 2022

This homily was given by Fr. Stephen on Epiphany Sunday. Epiphany means manifestation of the coming of God in the incarnation. This story of the Epiphany has two players – 1) the Three Wise Men and 2) King Herod. The former, the Wise Men, chose to adore Jesus and give Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The latter, King Herod, sought to kill the child. 

What do we choose to when we come before Jesus? Let us follow the example of the Wise men and adore Jesus.  

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

Homily on Saturday, January 1st 2022

This homily was given by Fr. Richard on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother God. Saint Francis had a great love for Our Lady. Before his death, he wrote the praises of God and a blessing for the brothers. The blessing is one that we hear on January 1st. Every start of the new year, we ask that God may shine upon us through the Face of Jesus. God showed us His face by coming to us as a baby. Mary, our Mother, is the Mother of God. She helped to make God’s face visible.

Light vs Darkness

Homily on Tuesday, August 31st 2021

This homily was given by Fr. Stephen. Light vs Darkness. These are things we have had for all time. When it is light, we can see, good things happen, etc. When it is dark, there could be evil things, we may not see where to go, we may not know what to do, and other things. In the first moment of creation, God is light. God created the light and darkness. God’s light can overcome any darkness in our lives. May the light of faith guide you always. 

Stay Close to Jesus

Homily on Sunday, August 29th 2021

This homily was given by Fr. Tom on the Twenty Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. In our world, there seems to be a lot going wrong. We may tend to lose hope and even faith in God. But, St. James tells us to hear the Word and be doers of the Word. The first action of doing is to stay close to Jesus. Strive to be close to Jesus and allow Him to work through you.
