Monday Mass. 11.17.25. In this homily, I reflect on the life of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and her courage to resist the world while choosing God above everything. I talk about how the same struggle shows up in our daily lives—through pride, ego, temptation, and the subtle ways the world tries to pull us away from faith. I invite you to look at your own life and ask where the world might be encroaching, and how today you can give glory and honor to God with trust, courage, and love.  

33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. 11.16.25. In this homily, I talk about Jesus’ words about the destruction of the Temple and why He shares these signs with His disciples—not to frighten us, but to prepare our hearts. As we come to the end of the liturgical year and approach Advent, I reflect on what it really means to stay focused on Him, trust His protection, and give Him control of our lives. My hope is that this message helps you feel grounded, encouraged, and ready to welcome Christ more fully.

Saturday Mass. 11.15.25. In this homily, I share the story of a man I met who spent nearly a lifetime believing he knew who God was. His journey of rediscovering faith through a simple daily prayer—“God, teach me what it means to love You”—reminds us what persistence in prayer really looks like. We often ask God for things quickly and on our timeline, but Jesus invites us to trust, to persevere, and to believe that our Father gives good things in His perfect time.

Tuesday Mass. 11.11.25. Today we celebrate St. Martin of Tours, a soldier turned saint whose compassion and humility changed countless lives. In this homily, I share his powerful story—from giving half his cloak to a beggar and seeing Christ in a vision, to living a life fully surrendered to God’s will. St. Martin reminds us that true greatness comes not from status or power, but from love in action and the courage to follow God’s wisdom over the world’s.

Monday Mass. 11.10.25. Today we honor St. Leo the Great. In this homily, I reflect on how his courage, wisdom, and faith shaped the Church—from defending the truth that Jesus is both fully God and fully man, to protecting Rome itself with bold trust in heaven’s power. St. Leo reminds us that every believer is called to stand firm in faith, live with integrity, and be a witness of God’s truth in a world that often forgets it.

Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica. 11.09.25. In this homily, I reflect on why the church is more than just a building—it’s the dwelling place of Jesus. Wherever He is, life flows. I talk about how every act of worship brings healing not only to our hearts but also to the world around us. When we come together in faith, our “yes” to God becomes a blessing for those who haven’t yet found their way back to Him.

Tuesday Mass. 11.04.25. When I was in seminary, I often compared myself to others — wishing I had their gifts or talents. But over time, God taught me what St. Paul meant when he said, “We, though many, are one body in Christ.” Each of us has unique gifts meant to build up the Church, not compete with it. In this homily, I share how learning to celebrate the gifts of others can free us to live our own calling with joy and humility.

Monday Mass. 11.03.25 This weekend, I shared about our Confirmation retreat and how God works even in the smallest openness of the heart. We talked about the struggle with selfishness—something we all face—and how Jesus invites us to love and give without expecting anything in return. When we serve with a pure heart, we become more like Christ.

All Saints Day 2025.  When I first saw a picture of Mother Teresa smiling, I couldn’t understand how someone who lived with the poor could be so joyful. Later, I realized that her joy came from God — not comfort or success. In this homily for All Saints Day, I talk about what true happiness looks like through the eyes of the saints. They weren’t perfect, but they kept turning back to God. That’s what holiness really is — not perfection, but perseverance and trust.

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time. 10.26.25. Sometimes people tell me they feel too unworthy to step into church — like God wouldn’t want them there. But the truth is, we don’t go to God because we’re perfect; we go because we need Him. In this homily, I share how Jesus flips our thinking about holiness, pride, and humility.

Saturday Mass. 10.25.25. All of us struggle with concupiscence — that inner pull toward sin and weakness. But through the Spirit, God gives us real power to overcome it. 

Friday School Mass. 10.24.25. In this homily, I share a story about visiting a man who had been away from the Church for over 40 years—and how God’s love patiently waited for him the whole time. Just like Joseph forgave his brothers, God forgives us and turns even the hardest parts of our lives into something good. No matter how far we’ve gone, God’s mercy is always greater.

Tuesday Mass. 10.21.25. In this homily, I reflect on how sin entered the world through Adam—but how grace and new life came through Jesus. Even when life feels heavy with doubt, struggle, or waiting, God’s grace overflows more than our failures. Where sin once reigned, grace reigns even stronger through Christ.

Monday Mass. 10.20.25. In this homily, I reflect on how Abraham was made righteous—not by following rules or rituals—but through faith and trust in God. St. Paul reminds us that this same faith is what makes us righteous today. Like Abraham, we’re called to trust God’s promises, even when the wait feels long, and to live out our duties not for justification, but out of love for Him.

29th Sunday in Ordinary Time. So often we pray and feel like God isn’t listening. We ask, we seek, we knock—but nothing seems to happen. In this homily, I share why prayer isn’t about getting what we want, but about learning to depend on God. He always answers—sometimes with a “yes,” sometimes with “wait,” and sometimes with “no, because I have something better.” Prayer isn’t meant to change God’s mind—it’s meant to change our hearts.

Saturday Mass. 10.18.25. Feast of St. Luke. In this homily, I reflect on the witness of St. Luke and how his faith reminds us what it means to stay close to Christ even when others fall away. I also share how each of us is called—like the 72 disciples—to prepare hearts to receive Jesus through the way we live and love.

Friday Mass. 10.17.25. St. Ignatius of Antioch. During my pilgrimage to Ireland, I visited the holy site where a priest once hid to celebrate Mass in secret during the Penal Laws — a place that truly felt like sacred ground. In this homily, I share how that experience, along with the witness of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, reminds us that every place we stand can be sacred when our lives are offered to God.

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. 10.05.25. In this homily, I talk about what real faith looks like — not as something we earn, but as a gift we nurture. Even a mustard seed of faith can move mountains when it’s rooted in trust and humility. I share a story of a miracle, moments of doubt, and the truth that faith isn’t the absence of struggle — it’s choosing to trust God right in the middle of it.

Wednesday Mass. 10.01.25. Feast of St. Therese In this homily, I share how my mom first introduced me to the lives of the saints, leading me from the writings of St. Augustine to the burning simplicity of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. St. Thérèse’s “little way” shows us that holiness isn’t about being the smartest or the strongest, but about loving God in small, hidden, everyday acts. Her life reminds us to put Christ above everything and to trust that He will raise us up in His love.

Tuesday Mass. 9.30.25. Feast of St. Jerome In this homily, I reflect on the life of St. Jerome—his fiery temper, his incredible gift for scholarship, and his famous reminder that “ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” His story reminds us that even with flaws, God can transform us into saints, and that our Catholic faith calls us not only to love God but also to know Him deeply through His Word.
