What makes someone a true disciple of Jesus? In this homily, Fr. Rob explores Jesus' challenge to the religious leaders who appeared faithful on the outside but struggled to live out God's love in their daily lives. Drawing a modern comparison, he contrasts outward religious practice with a life marked by mercy, generosity, and service to others. Fr. Rob reminds us that faith is meant to be more than attendance, routines, or appearances. While prayer, worship, and participation in the sacramenta

Why do we so often tell ourselves, “I’ll start tomorrow”? In this reflection, Fr. Rob explores Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard and the challenge it presents to our sense of fairness.

Even when conflicts remain unresolved, Christians are still called to love others as God loves them. Fr. Rob reminds us that loving ou

In this reflection, Fr. Rob shares a personal story from his school days to illustrate an important lesson from the life of St. Peter. In one Gospel passage, Peter boldly proclaims Jesus as the Son of God and is praised for the faith revealed to him by the Father. Yet shortly afterward, Peter misunderstands Jesus' mission and receives a sharp rebuke: “Get behind me, Satan.” Through these contrasting moments, Fr. Rob reminds us that faith is a gift of grace, not a sign of our own superiority or w
