Homily for the 6th Sunday of Easter

Dear brothers and sisters,

Homily for the 5th Sunday of Easter

Homily for the 4 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.

Homily for 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Here are some highlights of my homily this weekend on Salt and Light.
