My Lord and My God Have Mercy on me a sinner.  God have mercy on us and on the whole world.

After listening to the homily, I read in todays gospel the words of Judas and Jesus: 'Surely it is not I, Rabbi?' He answered: 'You have said so'. These words hit me.

Homily from the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

We are preoccupied with "done", but we are simultaneously addicted to asking "then what?". The wisdom of Ecclesiastes notes that so much of what we live for is impermanent, passing, or meaningless. Yet Jesus reveals that there is a real meaning and a real hope.

Homily from the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

We can all be so busy, but are we productive? Are we doing things right or are we doing the right things? When it comes to growing through the motions, we need to make sure that the right thing we do is present ourselves before God with humility and not self-reliance.

Homily from Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion.

The Passion and death of Christ is so...big. Sometimes it can seem so big that it becomes impersonal. But this event was not anonymous and the sufferings of Jesus were not generic. Each moment has a name attached to it, and each blow was specific. Until what I did to him becomes personal, what he did for me it's not personal.
