Homily for the Monday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time Much of life involves the expectation of repayment for the things we do — I'll do this for you, and you'll do something for me.

Homily for the Feast of Saint Luke, evangelist Today, let us all strive to follow in the footsteps of St. Luke the Evangelist, and do whatever we can, at every opportunities presented to us, to be the role models for one another and to help each other in our respective journeys of faith in life.

Homily for the Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr When the rich fool was blessed by God with bountiful harvest, he desired to increase his wealth all the more. Hence, he built larger barns in place of the existing ones and seemed to plan for a retirement so that he could rest, eat, drink and be merry. He was completely unaware that his life would end anytime soon leaving his wealth behind. For Jesus, to be a true disciple, one should not devote one's self to accumulating material wealth, but should rather live in holiness and virtues, which are the true spiritual riches. Similarly, if God blesses a person with material wealth, he or she should not set his or her heart on it, but should utilize it according to God's will. What one receives from God should be shared with others as a blessing.

Homily for the Memorial of Saint Vincent de Paul, Priest Today we honor a saint who spent most of his life striving to ease the burdens of those in great need; those who were poor, sick, imprisoned, and otherwise suffering in a world that largely ignored them.

Homily for the Monday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time For those who love God, everything works out for their good. St. Paul means all things, which would include any present difficulties you are undergoing. If you are loving God, these difficulties are all going to work for your good.

Homily for the Monday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time Just like a lamp that is lit in the house, it must be seen outside or at least by someone who enters it. When we listen to the gospel, it must be not be concealed but instead, it must show itself in our life. We cannot hear the Word of the Lord and keep it secretly. It must be made visible in our words, actions, and behavior.

Homily for the Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Will you give up temporal riches that you will lose anyway by investing them in His kingdom, with His promise that you will inherit eternal riches that you will never lose?

Homily for the Memorial of Saint John Chrysostom, Bishop and Doctor of the Church For me, life means Christ, and death is gain. Through Christ our Lord we assert his lordship over the world and over death. He has the power to raise the dead and bring them back to life. In the same manner, it is only our Lord who can save us from death. He raises us to live with him; in communion with him, our sorrows are turned into joy!

Homily for the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time (9:00 pm) Jesus increasing in our lives is the primary goal we must have. It means that He takes greater possession of our minds and will. It means He possesses us and we possess Him. It means that our number one goal and desire in life is the fulfillment of His holy will in all things. It means that fear is cast aside and charity becomes our reason for living. It's very freeing to allow the Lord to increase in our lives. It's freeing in the sense that we no longer have to try and manage on our own. Jesus now lives in and through us. Readings for August 28, 2022 1st Reading: Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 68:4-5, 6-7, 10-11 2nd Reading: Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24a Gospel: Luke 14:1, 7-14

Homily for the Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Apostle Our identity is found in our relationship with God. If we don't begin there, if we don't first focus on our Lord, then these "other goods" of the world can quickly corrupt.

Homily for the Memorial of The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary “Let It Be Done Unto Me According To Your Will” Mary is both a queen and a mother, but she is more mother than queen. Mary's Queenship and “mothership,” or motherhood, spark to life simultaneously. In the very moment Mary becomes a mother at the Annunciation, she also becomes a queen.

Homily for the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time The heavenly race will not be an easy one. We are reminded of God's discipline and training. God will train us how to walk through the narrow door proposed by Jesus. This training will be painful, but the goal is to guide us through the right path. These readings invite us to accept God's training towards inclusivity and acceptance of “others” especially the socially excluded in our midst.
