This homily became a bridge between my previous class on, “The Origins of Sacred Scripture,” and the upcoming class on, “Scripture & Tradition.”
Giving Thanks To God – 11.20.18 – All School Mass
Today was the final day of school before the Thanksgiving break, it is also the first ever feast day of Blessed Clelia Merloni. In my homily to the students, I attempted to combine both of these celebrations,
De Esta Generación – 11.18.18 – XXXIII Domingo De Tiempo Ordinario

On This Generation – 11.18.18 – 33rd Sunday Of Ordinary Time
My homily from Sunday on how we are all part of one common generation seeking holiness. We must, as a society, and a Church, work together, learn from one another, and be grateful for one another.

Giving Thanks All Year Long – 11.14.18 – Daily Mass
When we hear the Gospel of the ten lepers being healed, but only one giving thanks, we often think of it externally. We prefer to compare ourselves with others in terms of how much gratitude we have in comparison with our peers. Instead, maybe we should look within, and ask, why is it easy to have gratitude now close to Thanksgiving, what about the rest of the year? Shouldn’t we be grateful more that one out of twelve months?
God’s Will & Obligation – 11.13.18 – Daily Mass
A look at how we can follow the example of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini by following God’s will and doing what, “what were obliged to do.”
“He Started It!” – 11.12.18 – Daily Mass Homily
As children we like to push our siblings proverbial buttons until they do something wrong, only so that we can turn around and say, “He/She started it!” If we’re honest we even do this as adults. In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that such attitudes or behavior is to be avoided as well.
Ofrecer De Nuestra Pobreza – 11.11.18 – XXXII Domingo De Tiempo Ordinario
Aqui esta mi homilia de hoy sobre como podemos ofrecer todo nuestro ser como la viuda en el evangelio de hoy.
Blessed Clelia Interview
At some point I’ll have to do a full story on my recent trip to Rome for the beatification of Blessed Clelia Merloni. It was an amazing, grace-filled experience.
While I was in Rome, I was interviewed by Catholic News Agency about Blessed Clelia’s spirituality, and legacy for the Church today. Please click the link below, read the story, and help spread the spirituality of Blessed Clelia Merloni.
