Homilies and Talks
Don’t Be Too Busy
Do you ever feel like you’re lacking clarity or failing to see the good things in life? In his Sunday homily, Fr. Mark reminds us that as God’s children, we are meant to be filled with the Holy Spirit who can help us to see things as they are, and most importantly, to see who we are and whose we are.
God Equips the Called
All of us have a universal call to mission. In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken reminds us that God will prepare us and give us what we need in our unique mission fields to proclaim the Gospel message to those He places in our lives.
Fr. Mark’s Surrender Moment
Fr. Bob Bedard, the Founder of the Companions of the Cross, once said “that the only thing worth doing in life is God’s Will.” In his Sunday homily, Fr. Mark shares his vocation story and challenges each of us to say “yes” to the Lord in whatever He is calling us to do.
Made for Relationship
Relationships can be challenging; yet, we are made for them. In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken preaches on the four identities and the importance of being properly formed in them, so that we can love others as Christ loves us.
Take Your Next Step
Growth in virtue is the work of a lifetime. In his Sunday homily, Fr. Mark reminds us that it is important for us to continuously work at weeding out the things in our lives that are not of God, and that we can do this one small step at a time.
Do Great Things for God
What is the motivation behind why we do the things we do? In his Sunday homily, Fr. Ken analyzes the life and writings of St. Thérèse of Lisieux to emphasize the need for humility, and knowing our identity as children of God, so that we, out of love, can do great things for His glory.
Do Not Worry About Tomorrow
More often than not, it can be challenging to make the decision to not worry about all of the things that trouble us in our lives. In his Sunday homily, Fr. Mark encourages us to commit today to following Jesus, and to consciously choose to not worry about tomorrow.
Hearing God’s Voice
God desires to enter into a dialogue with us – but are we spiritually deaf? In this week’s homily, Fr. Ken emphasizes that the Lord wants to heal us of what prevents us from hearing His voice and receiving His love, and shares some practical insight to help us along the way.
It’s all About the Heart
The spiritual life is all about the heart. In his Sunday homily, Fr. Mark emphasizes the importance of taking care of our hearts, and reminds us that we can ask our Guardian Angels to help us.
Choices we Face
We are free to make our own choices, but we don’t always have control over the consequences. Fr. Ken emphasizes that this freedom to choose includes whether or not to serve God, and to accept the teaching of the Church.
