9/08/26: The Birthday That Changed Everything (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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
9/08/26: Loving Without Celebrating Sin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tuesday Mass. 9.08.26. This homily reflects on St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians, where a community celebrating a member's sin is called back to right living.

9/06/26: Not to Judge, But to Bring Them Back (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sunday Mass. 9.06.26.

Read excerpt
Saturday Mass. 9.05.26. This homily is about the hidden trial Mother Teresa carried for decades — forty years without feeling God's love — and what her example teaches about suffering, doubt, and entitlement.
9/04/26: The Party God Won't Stop Inviting You To (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Friday School Mass. 9.04.26. This homily is about finding strength in Christ through life's hardships, drawing on St. Paul's letter to the Philippians and the parable of the wedding banquet. It reflects on God's invitation to all people, regardless of past rejection, and asks whether we choose to accept it.
