1/22/12 3rd Sunday in Ordinary time - Fr. Niemeier

MK 1: 14-20  "Repent ... believe ... Come after me ..." The call to discipleship requires a change of heart and new behavior - including, given the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, as it relates to our bodies and the sanctity of life.

1/22/12 3rd Sunday in Ordinary time - Fr. King

MK 1: 14-20  "Repent ... believe ... Come after me ..." God's word provides us with the moral compass and the power we need to make the necessary changes in both our attitudes and our behavior.

1/22/12 3rd Sunday in Ordinary time - Fr. Fernandes

MK 1: 14-20 "Repent ... believe ... Come after me..." Sometimes short "homilies" are the best, as evidenced today by Jonah, Paul, and Jesus.

1/15/12 2nd Sunday in Ordinary time - Fr. King

JN 1: 35-42 "The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus." How well do we listen to God's call; and how is the world impacted by our choices to answer that call?

1/15/12 2nd Sunday in Ordinary time - Fr. Fernandes

JN 1: 35-42 "The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus." To whom will you listen?  And who will you obey?

1/8/12 Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord - Fr. King

EPH 3: 2-3a, 5-6 "... the mystery was made known to me by revelation..." We are all co-heirs and members of the same body.

1/8/12 Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord - Fr. Fernandes

IS 60:1-6  "Rise up in splendor Jerusalem!  Your light has come ..." Do you have the competence and the faith of the 3 Kings of old to recognize God's signs in your life and follow them to Jesus? Are you able to enter through the 4' door?

1/1/12 The Octave Day of the Nativity/Solemnity of Mary - Fr. Fernandes

Gal 4: 4-7 "So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then also an heir, through God." If we want peace and freedom from our sins, then we must stop, return to Bethlehem, and mediate on what God has done for us.

1/1/12 The Octave Day of the Nativity/Solemnity of Mary - Fr. King

Lk 2: 16-21  "And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart." As we enter a new year, reflect on the things that are in your heart - about what God has done for you through the gift of Jesus and throughout your years.

12/25/11 Christmas Day - Fr. Rob Jack

Jn 1:1-18 "And the Word became flesh and made his dweling among us..." Christmas memories - good and bad, happy and sad -  help us understand who we are and those who are important to us within our own realm of existence.  Memories of that first Christmas help us understand who we are and Who is important to us (and who we are important to) in the eternal realm of existence.
