Homilies and Talks
Mary’s Life in the Spirit
Do you recognize the Holy Spirit moving in your life? In his Sunday homily, Fr. Mark highlights five instances in the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary where she received an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, in order to emphasize that God is always at work in our lives.
The Significance of Our Baptism
What does it mean to be baptized and why does it matter? In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken looks at the Baptism of Jesus, and reminds us of the significance of the Sacrament, by reflecting on baptism as a relationship, a cleansing from sin, and power to help us say ‘yes’ to God’s Will.
Epiphany of the Lord
Our culture often promotes self-sufficiency and encourages us to follow our every desire – and many times, this leaves us feeling empty and devastated. In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken emphasizes the importance of humility and handing over ourselves to God, so that we can fully follow Christ and have an intimate relationship with Him.
There’s Reason to Rejoice
It can be hard to relinquish control; but in our relationship with God, it’s necessary. In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken shares part of his testimony and reminds us that when we are baptized with the Holy Spirit and surrender ourselves to God, there is reason to rejoice.
Go to Confession this Advent!
In his Sunday homily, Fr. Mark encourages each of us to be washed clean and clothed in God’s mercy by receiving the Sacrament of Confession this Advent season.
Preparing for Jesus’ Coming
When it comes to our lives, how often are we thinking about what happens at the end? In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken emphasizes that one of the primary ways we can prepare to meet Jesus face-to-face, especially during the season of Advent, is to develop an intimate life of prayer.
Make Him King of Your Life
Is Jesus reigning in every moment of your life? On the Feast of Christ the King, Fr. Mark reminds us that we are to put in the effort each day to live a way of life that glorifies God; and this is the work of a lifetime.
The Final Battle
What does it take to equip ourselves for battle? In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken emphasizes the importance of being aware of the signs of the times, and three key strategies we can practice to prepare ourselves for the Final Battle.
Doing Works of Mercy
Oftentimes, it can seem as though our culture is morally and spiritually bankrupt, and can neglect those who are most in need. In his Sunday homily, Fr. Mark highlights some key ministries at St. Mary’s that fulfill the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy, and encourages us to give thanks to God for all He is doing at the Parish, and to recommit ourselves to helping those who are in need.
Focusing on the Main Thing
What are those things that distract or prevent you from focusing on the main thing? In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken provides practical guidance on how to love God and love others on a daily basis, so that this can remain our focus and our priority (i.e. the main thing), throughout our lives.
