My final Sunday Mass homily at Wisdom as their Parochial Vicar. I can't tell you how much fun I had, how much love I felt, and how grateful I am for the my family at Our Lady of Wisdom Church and Student Center. I love y'all so much! Thank you for everything.
I am convinced that the key to truly falling in love with the Blessed Sacrament is by adopting a child-like faith, and here is why.
What is the Trinity? How is it possible? And how is it Relevant?
In light of the current events concerning race, I wanted to preach on how our Catholic faith can heal these wounds. Especially in light of Pentecost, which unites people from "every nation under heaven" (Acts 2:5).

In the mystery of Christmas, the Lord invites us to trust him by trusting us.
And how it can help us when it comes to making big decisions. Correction: In the homily I said St. Joseph divorced his wife. I should have said instead, St. Joseph resolved to quietly divorce is wife. One could make the argument that they are the same thing, but just to be clear, St. Joseph never formally divorced Mary.

The story of Zacchaeus juxtaposed with the Rich young man.
Corrections: 1. The Amalekites are not Canaanites. Canaanites lived in the land of Cana, the modern day Holy Land. Amalekites were citizens under the king, Amalek, who attacked the Israelites when they were traveling to the Holy Land. Hence, the battle of Joshua was a defensive war to prevent the army of Amalek from plundering the Israelites. Please forgive me of this error. 2. Pope Innocent III is not a canonized Saint.
In this homily I discuss Bishop Robert Barron's venture into the Reddit world. Correction: in the Homily I stated that the destruction of the Temple by King Nebuchadnezzar was in the year 600 B.C. and that we were unsure of the date. I was mistaken, it was actually 586 B.C. and we are fairly certain of this date.
