1/04/26: Faith Like the Magi: Seeking, Worshiping, and Surrendering
Sunday Mass. Feast of the Epiphany. 1.04.26. In this homily, I reflect on the Feast of the Magi and what the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh reveal about who Jesus truly is — our King, our God, and the One who would lay down His life for us. I share how their example invites us to seek Christ, worship Him in every season, and offer our own lives to Him, even in times of suffering and uncertainty. May this message strengthen our faith and remind us that God can bring hope and meaning even through tragedy.

1.02.26: Stay With Christ: Faithful Witness in a World That Denies Him
Friday Mass. 1.02.26. This homily reflects on the truth that Jesus is not just a good teacher or kind person — He is truly God and Lord. Even in a world that continues to question or deny His divinity, we are called to remain in Christ, stay rooted in the truth passed on from the early Church, and proclaim Jesus as Lord in both the joys and struggles of life. By remaining faithful, we witness to the world that Christ is God, Emmanuel, who is always with us.

12/30/25: God Is Not Tired of You: Grace, Perseverance, and Hope
Tuesday Mass. 12.30.25. In this homily, I reflect on our common struggle of returning to confession with the same sins and feeling discouraged or ashamed. I share how pride can make us believe we must be perfect before going to God, when in truth, God is not tired of us — we are often simply tired of ourselves. Through the message of St. John and the witness of the prophetess Anna, we are reminded that God gives us the grace to keep trying, to remain faithful, and to persevere in hope. Even in our weakness, we are invited to keep our eyes on Jesus, give thanks, and trust that His mercy is greater than our failures.

12/29/25: Living What We Celebrate at Christmas
Monday Mass. 12.29.25. This homily reflects on what it really means that Jesus Christ has come into our world — not just as a celebration, but as a call to true transformation. I share how the octave of Christmas invites us to live what we profess, to let our faith change our hearts, our relationships, and the way we love others. If Christ became a gift for us, then our lives are meant to become a gift for those around us. May we walk as He walked and let Christmas shape the way we live every day.

12/28/25: Putting God at the Center of Our Imperfect Families
Feast of the Holy Family. 12.28.25. In this homily, I reflect on how God enters our ordinary and imperfect families, just as He did with the Holy Family. Even in seasons of hurt, tension, or misunderstanding, we are invited to put God at the center of our lives and to let Him teach us how to forgive. When we allow God to lend us His heart, He can heal what feels broken and strengthen us with His love and mercy.

12/27/25: With Jesus, Hope — Without Him, Nothing
Saturday Mass. 12.27.25. In this homily, I reflect on why God became one of us in Jesus — to save us, to show us His love, to teach us how to live, and to share His divine life with us. Without Jesus, life is empty and without hope — but with Him, we find meaning, purpose, and joy, even in the ups and downs of life. Let us allow the mystery of the Incarnation to transform our hearts and our daily lives.

12/25/25: The Greatest Gift: A Child Born for Us
Christmas Mass. 12.25.25. In this homily, I reflect on the true meaning of Christmas — that God entered our broken world as a child to be our Wonderful Counselor, God-Hero, Father Forever, and Prince of Peace. I share how Jesus was born in humility, laid in a manger, so that one day He could give Himself to us completely in love. Christmas reminds us that even in our struggles, God draws near and offers us hope, peace, and Himself as the greatest gift. My prayer is that we allow Jesus to enter our lives and our hearts in a deeper way this Christmas.

12/24/25: When God Builds the House: The Difference for David
Wednesday Mass. 12.24.25. In this homily, I reflect on King David’s desire to build a house for God — and how the Lord reveals that His plan is far greater than any gift we could offer Him. God doesn’t simply ask for a temple; He chooses to dwell with His people, fully and personally, in the mystery of Christmas. This is the difference the Incarnation makes — a God who enters our world, gives us hope, and invites us to live as witnesses of His love to those who may only step into church once or twice a year.

12/23/25: He Came for Everyone
Tuesday Mass. 12.23.25. In this homily, I reflect on a moment that revealed to me the true meaning of Christmas. God reminded me that He did not come for the perfect or the comfortable, but for everyone — the broken, the messy, and the forgotten. As we approach Christmas, I invite you to pray for those who will come to church this week and for all who have yet to know God’s love.

12/22/25: God Gives Himself First
Monday Mass. 12.22.25. In this homily, I reflect on Hannah and Mary, and what it means to truly surrender what we love to God. I talk about the fear of letting go, the gift God gives us in Jesus, and how Christmas reminds us that God gives Himself first. I also invite us to welcome others with joy and love, especially those who come to church only a few times a year.

12/20/25: God Intervenes Even When We Resist
Saturday Mass. 12.20.25. In this homily, I reflect on King Ahaz, a moment of fear, and a choice to trust worldly power instead of God. Even when God’s help is offered, Ahaz resists—yet God still gives the sign and keeps His promise. As we approach Christmas, this reminds us that God does not wait for our perfection; He enters our world anyway, staying faithful even when we struggle, resist, or run away.

12/19/25: Even Now, God Is at Work
Friday Mass. 12.19.25. In this homily I shared a powerful moment where I witnessed God’s grace at work in a very real and human way. I was able to baptize a man who was close to death, and in that moment, I saw how God still intervenes—even at the very end of life. As we approach Christmas, this homily is an invitation to trust that God is always working, even when we can’t see it, and to pray with hope for those who come searching, even if only once in a while.

12.15.25: When God Turns Curses into Blessings
Monday Mass. 12.15.25. In this homily, I reflect on the story of Balaam, where God turns what was meant to be a curse into a blessing. Even when evil, fear, or hardship surround us, God’s promise still stands and His plan continues to unfold. As we approach Christmas, we’re reminded that hope has already entered the world, and that hope still shines—even when life is hard.

12.14.25: Three Foundations of Real Joy
3rd Sunday of Advent. 12.14.25. In this homily, I reflect on what true joy really is and where it comes from. Using the words of Jesus and the witness of John the Baptist, I share three foundations for lasting joy: abiding in Christ, living with gratitude, and giving our lives for others. Joy is not just a feeling—it is rooted in Jesus, even in moments of suffering.

12/12/25: Am I Not Your Mother?
Our Lady of Guadalupe. 12.12.25. In this homily, I reflect on Our Lady of Guadalupe and how Mary chose to appear as one of the people, calling Juan Diego by name and reminding him—and us—of her tender care. I share how her words, “Am I not your mother?”, speak directly to our worries, doubts, and struggles today. This homily is an invitation to trust that Mary is a mother not just for one people, but for all of us, and to place our lives and families in her loving care.

12/10/25: Come to Me and Find Rest
Wednesday Mass. 12.10.25. In this homily, I reflect on how God fulfills His promises even when life feels heavy, tiring, or uncertain. Isaiah reminds us that the Lord never forgets us, and Jesus invites us to come to Him with our burdens so He can give us rest. I talk about how God doesn’t promise an easy life—but He does promise strength, hope, and the grace to keep going. My prayer is that this message encourages you to lean on Him, especially when you feel weary or discouraged.

12/8/25: Let It Be Done According to His Will
Immaculate Conception 2025. 12.08.25. In this homily, I reflect on why the Immaculate Conception matters for us today. Mary received the gift of being spotless from the very beginning, but God desires that same holiness for us in heaven. Even though she was without sin, Mary still suffered and still had to trust God without seeing the full plan. Her “let it be done according to your will” becomes a model for us—especially in the struggles of family, work, or life. As we move through Advent, may we learn from Mary’s trust, offer God our intentions, and place our hope in Jesus just as she did.

12/7/25: Preparing Our Hearts—Not Perfectly, but Honestly
2nd Sunday of Advent. 12.07.25. In this homily I talk about what it really means to be ready for Advent. So many of us feel unprepared or even overwhelmed, but God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s asking us to turn toward Him. I share about slowing down, learning to wait with trust, building a habit of prayer, and the grace we receive through confession. My hope is that this helps you enter Advent with peace, honesty, and a heart open to the Lord.

12/1/25: The Grace That Moves Hearts Back Home
Monday Mass. 12.01.25. In this homily, I share a beautiful reminder that God’s grace is always at work—even in ways we can’t see. A family unexpectedly walked into the church, and through that moment, the Lord revealed how our prayers, sacrifices, and quiet faith can move hearts we may never meet. Reflecting on the centurion’s trust and urgency in approaching Jesus, I talk about what Advent truly means: waiting with faith, listening with patience, and trusting God’s timing over our own.
