Good Friday Homily 2024
Good Friday March 29, 2024 One of the striking realities of Jesus’ passion is his utter isolation and aloneness. The Scripture has told us today that even his looks seemed beyond the bounds of human appearance: so marred was his look beyond human semblance and his appearance beyond that of the sons of man. The […]

2nd Sunday of Lent, 2/26/24
Fr. Christopher Kirchgessner
Good morning, my friends. The Word of God this morning takes us to two mountaintops. Neither of these mountain trips is for pleasure. But both are life changing. We should stand here in amazement at the marvels that have become almost routine for us today. So, if you want to see something and hear something […]

Abbot Placid Solari
Mass readings can be found here. It’s reported that one of the old desert monks of ages ago, when asked how he lived his life—what his practice was—responded simply, “I fall and I get up. I fall and I get up.” His point was that we risk concentrating far too much on the falls. Getting […]

Fr. Elias Correa-Torres
In our second reading today, we heard, “Do you not know that you are that your bodies are members of Christ?” When we were baptized, we were changed. Perhaps nothing seemed different from the outside, but science has discovered repeatedly that human beings can see and detect only a small portion of what is real. […]

Fr. David Brown
When I was a boy, Christmas meant all sorts of things, not least of which was that my favorite aunt would be coming to visit, as she always did at Christmas. She was an amazing woman. She was a nurse, and during the Second World War she had captured a Japanese soldier singlehandedly using nothing […]

Solemnity of Christ the King, 11/26/23
Fr. Elias Correa-Torres
Today we celebrate the solemnity of our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the universe. And it is certain that this celebration is meant to be, for us, an occasion of hope. As Christians, we were saved in hope. We are people of hope. But if we speak of having hope we speak of something that […]

Fr. Christopher Kirchgessner
Find the Mass Readings here. Good morning. This morning we hear about a man who was given a once in a lifetime chance to do something good. But instead, the man chose to play it safe. It may seem like one talent is such a paltry amount that it’s really inconsequential—too small to be even […]
