Fr. Stace's homily communicates the serious power of the tongue. Out of the abundance of the mouth, the heart speaks.

In Fr. Stace's homily, he points out that power, authority, and glory are rendered differently in the spiritually sick and the spiritually healthy.

In his Epiphany sermon, Fr. Stace Tafoya compares the Magi and Herod in relation to their perception of Christ.

In Fr. Stace's Christmas Eve sermon, we learn how to watch, make haste, and ponder. Like the shepherds, who had the disposition to be available, we watch. Like Mary, in response to the Incarnation, we ought to ‘make haste.' And still like Mary, in her contemplative response toward our Lord, we ponder. Also, follow along, as Fr. Stace unpacks what we see in Andrei Rublev's Icon, attached here. It's a wonderful example of contemplation on the Incarnation. Visit fatherneo.com for more info!

In Fr. Stace's Advent sermon, he reveals how necessary it is for us, as members of the Body of Christ, to prepare for the day of judgment. While we are here on this earth, we must be on guard and look up to our Lord, instead of crumbling into the cares and worries of the world. As written in Luke 21, now is the time to prepare as if the Day of Judgment were tomorrow. And we can put our trust in our Lord, who will make us right. Visit fatherneo.com for more info!
