Sunday Homilies

Christ does not seek to control us but to lead us into trusting His love for us and being willing to love each other and the world.

When we reflect on the love God has for us from the Cross, and thus our commandment to love others, it is harder for us to be deceived by false prophets.

May we be the Church God calls us to be.

“Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me."

“I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and the one who humbles himself shall be exalted.”

“How long, not long. For the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

May hate be uprooted from our hearts, and, in following Jesus, may we be oriented towards justice.

In the parable, the rich man sees Lazarus every day at his door but chooses to do nothing for him. The rich man is comfortable, and he is blind to the situation of Lazarus.
