July 8, 2018 Homily

In the readings this weekend St. Paul tells us that he was given "thorn in the flesh" and that he begged God not once, but three times that it be removed because it was threatening his role as an evangelizer. God refused and told him "my grace is sufficient for you." He gradually became accepting of this weakness declaring that "when I am weak, then I am strong." How about you? Do you rely on God's grace in your weaknesses?

One way of looking at the gospel this weekend is in terms of touch. Perhaps reaching out with a touch of faith or receiving a healing touch. Both bring about life. What role does such a physical connection play in your spiritual direction?

The celebration today of the birthday of John the Baptist reminds us that like John, like the prophet Isaiah and like Elizabeth Ann Seton we too have a role to play ibn God's plan of salvation. What role are you presently playing in God's plan? How might that role change in the future?

June 10, 2018 Homily - Deacon Frank

In Mark's Gospel we hear the scribes accusing Jesus of being possessed by Beelzebul, which is another name for Satan.  They accused Jesus of being possessed by Satan because he was doing exorcisms, driving out demons.  Jesus explained that their accusations didn't make sense because Satan would not be fighting against himself.  We are indeed in a spiritual battle.  How are we fighting this battle?

This weekend we celebrate The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. In St. Mark's Gospel, he introduces us to the mystery of Eucharist, that is, how ordinary bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus at Mass. What is your understanding of the Eucharist? Are you willing to grow in your understanding?
