Homily for the 5th Sunday of Lent

Here are the main points of my homily this evening (March 25, 2023):

Our future must be determined by faith in Jesus and not governed by the certainty of death.When God makes a saint out of a sinner, or makes a greater saint out of a lesser one that is an even greater deed than raising a dead body and creating the universe out of nothing, becuase a dead body and nothingness have no power to resist his word, but a human soul has free will and it can hold back.God delays answering our prayers.

Homily for the 4 Sunday of Lent

Here are some highlights of my homily this evening (March 18, 2023):

The Gospel tells us that the man was blind from birth. Actually the Greek text says that he was blind from his “genesis”. That has a double meaning of both birth and creation. Jesus comes to establish a new creation, a new Genesis, and He does it through touching the man’s eyes with mud and having him wash in the waters of Siloam, which means the “Sent One”. These are all images of the Sacrament of Baptism.

Homily for the 3rd Sunday of Lent

Here are some highlights of my homily this evening (March 11, 2023):

God’s will that the message of the Gospel should move outside the Jewish world and be presented to the rest of humanity including the Samaritans. The Gospel isn’t just for those who are like us, whomever that may be. It is also for those whom social conventions deem marginalized.

Water naturally symbolizes life, since everything that lives depends on water.

Homily for 2nd Sunday of Lent

Here are some highlights of my homily this evening (March 4):

In all three years of the Lectionary cycle (A, B, C), the readings for the Second Sunday of Lent always pair a key pericope from the Abraham narrative (Gen 12–22

) with an account of the Transfiguration from one of the Synoptic Gospels. This is because, in all the Gospels, the Transfiguration marks “the beginning of the end” of Jesus’s earthly life.
