    Why does it seem like we have given the devil a “get out of jail free card”?

    WE”VE BEEN DUPED! Why does it seem like we have given the devil a “get out of jail free card”? The Bible says that “It was to destroy the devil’s work that the Son of God revealed himself.” (1John 3:8) Jesus crushed the devil into submission from the cross. “He (Jesus) cancelled ...read more

    Like Jesus and Stephen, Pope Benedict's words are rejected by a world that cannot admit its need to be changed from within.

    April 19, 2010 Caritas in Veritate The secular world doesn’t get it. In fact, the leaders of society have rarely gotten it in any age, because they don’t understand what people really want. In New Testament times, they resisted the change urged by the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit ...read more

    A Christmas Eve or Christmas Day sermon or homily using an extended illustration from "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" to show how many miss(ed) Christ’s first coming and how we need to be ready for his Second Coming in power.

    Title: Merry Easter! (a Christmas eve or Christmas day homily) While bagging groceries years ago in a supermarket during highschool I found it fun to mess with customers minds and say things like: “Have a Day! And hear them automatically respond: “You Too!” It was especially fun around the ...read more

    Matth 10:16-33 Fourth Trinity 2005 We have all heard the expression about the weather in parts of Texas: if you don’t like it, just wait an hour or two and it will change.

    "I believe that the secret lies in the way Jesus looked at people, seeing beyond their weaknesses and failings"

    Thursday of 15th Week in Course Wisdom is depicted as having a feminine nature; from that the Fathers of the Church applied much of what we read in the Book of Wisdom either to the Blessed Virgin Mary or to the Church. But that has more to do with linguistics than theology. In Greek, the word ...read more

    Thursday of 4th Sunday in Course 2019 Saint Colette of Corbie The letter to the Hebrews is a fairly long book in the New Testament, but much of it has the character of a sermon or homily. There are exhortations, particularly to regular attendance at the “assembly” or Eucharist. And here today, in ...read more

    "To interpret a biblical text, we need to be patient, to put aside all other concerns, and to give it our time, interest and undivided attention."

    Thursday of 18th Week in Course This day we commemorate St. Clare of Assisi, the friend of St. Francis who founded the second Order of Franciscans for women religious, or the Poor Clares.

    Let's Be Spiritually Fit !

    A short homily for some elderly Christians living in sheltered accomodation. I don’t think I took on board the right amount of spiritual food over the Christmas and New Year period. God is challenging me (and perhaps you!) to be spiritually fit.

    A lot can happen in a year! A lot can and will happen during this next year. As I look back over the last year I realise that so much has happened and so much has changed: †My two boys have started new schools. †My daughter has begun pre-school. †My sister got married. †My Granddad died. †My ...read more

    God is light. He makes his disciples to be his servants and gives them the mission of being light to the nations. His servants have to listen to people and to God. Be channel of blessings to disburse the free gift of salvation.

    Theme: God’s servants are the Light Text: Isaiah 42:1-9   Greetings: You are the servants of God. You are the Light to the world. The Lord is good and his love endures forever.

    Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, C--The Sadducees

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 12, 2022
     | 1,128 views

    I believe the question I would have asked the Sadducees would be, “Was this woman taking out life insurance policies on all these husbands?”

    One of my seminary professors said that it’s easy to remember who the Sadducees were because since they denied that there is a resurrection, they were “so sad you see.” The Sadducees were the ancient version of modern liberal theologians. They were anti-supernaturalistic. They only accepted the ...read more

    God Lying In A Manger

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Dec 24, 2020
     | 1,451 views

    This is a Christmas Eve homily that focuses on God's ultimate plan for humanity. The primary message is how God, in Jesus, share with us his true image. The challenge is for each of us to bear that image as he transforms us from the inside and lived out in the world.

    God lying in a manger! Celebrating Christmas should not be viewed as an event, we should view it from the perspective of a process. Christmas, as reflected in my Christmas series, Reliving Christmas, began with God. Our introduction to God is found in the creation story—God is eternal and existed ...read more

    The goal is to lead a person to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Later will come baptism and R.C.I.A.

    Off the coast of Maine lies an island so small that the surrounding ocean can be seen from any point on the island. A visitor to the Sunday school class asked the children, "How many of you," he asked, "have ever seen the Atlantic Ocean?" To his surprise, not a single hand went ...read more

    That dangerous S-curve was removed in 1981 and replaced by a straight, immovable section.

    A man named John Hakel says his three-year-old daughter looked at a calendar and asked him, "Daddy, how many BE GOOD days until Christmas?"1 On the Second Sunday of Advent, we meet John the Baptist in the Desert: Luke 3:2: “the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the ...read more

    Through which camera angle will we hear the stories of the lost sheep and the lost coin? Do we need to look from a different angle?
