     | 830 views

    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

    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

    Second Sunday Of Advent, Year C: A Straight, Immovable Section.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 17, 2024
     | 1,090 views

    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

    God Lying In A Manger

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Dec 24, 2020
     | 1,673 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

    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?

    ..................................................... I’d like you to think back - at least six months ago, it could be longer. Remember yourself going to the cinema.

    Homily for 4th Sunday in Lent The team’s morale had never been higher. Their speed was peaking; their accuracy was better than ever.

    We are all slaves, but where you bathe and what you eat tell whose slave you are. There is a slavery that gives the appearance of freedom, and a freedom that only comes in slavery.

    Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A: What Loving Your Enemies And Being ‘perfect’ Mean

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 8, 2023
     | 1,274 views

    “Now raise your hands if you have only one or two enemies.” And even fewer people raised their hands. “See,” says the priest, “most of us feel like we have enemies.”

    A priest is giving a homily like I am right now on “What loving your enemies and being ‘perfect’ mean.” “Now,” says the priest, “I’ll bet that many of us feel as if we have enemies in our lives. So, raise your hands if you have a few enemies.” And several people raise their hands.” “Now raise ...read more

    Sing To The Lord And Bless His Name

    How does our singing in Church advance our mission and witness?

    Feast of St. Cecilia 2013 “Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.” Over and over, we read in the psalms, that our response to the saving power of God is to sing to Him. St. Augustine wrote that to sing praise to God is to pray twice. That’s so ...read more

    We are all called to be missionaries in one way or another. We preach Christ to help others come to Christ.

    Homily for Tuesday of the 1st Week of Advent Tomorrow is the commemoration of St. Francis Xavier. If some modern thinkers are right, Francis wasted his life. One of the earliest disciples of Ignatius Loyola, one of the first Jesuits, Francis was going to go to Palestine to convert Muslims–and ...read more

    Nineteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time- How To Walk On Water.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 5, 2023
     | 1,641 views

    To walk on water means to perform a task where the challenge greatly exceeds one’s level of skills without becoming anxious and stressed.

    How to walk on water. I saw a cartoon that showed a lady walking on some cases of bottled water and the caption read, “Walking on water”! Another person said, “I walk on water every time it rains. Thin water, but water just the same. [And] just so you know, I drive on water too.” To walk on ...read more

    May 18, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Acts 16: 11-21 and John 15: 21-27 When we listen to the Gospel of Luke and the Acts, and to the Gospel of John as well, we get the impression that the Holy Spirit was more active in the early Church than today.

    Word And Eucharist Are One Series

     | 3,836 views

    The Gospel proclaims the divine reversal--the weak become strong by grace; thus also Word and Sacrament are the means by which weakness is strengthened.

    June 15, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Here in the penumbra of the Feast of Corpus Christi, it is particularly helpful to reflect on what many have called “the great reversal.” The Gospel is one frequently quoted to show the power of nonviolent resistence. Go two miles when forced to go one. St. ...read more
