Homily from the Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Competent generosity is the key for healthy masculinity.

Jesus prays that His Church is never without shepherds. This world and His Church is in need of leaders, of shepherds, and of fathers. While we will always need women and mothers, we stand in particular need of fathers at this moment in history. We need both: strong and generous men and women to place their strength at the service of the people around them.

6/25/23 The Fear of the Lord

Homily from the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

We must cultivate the fear of the Lord in our lives. If we do not, then we will have only a partial vision of who God truly is. If we do not cultivate the fear of the Lord, then we will never have the proper relationship with God that we are made for.
