    Homily from the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

    Discipline isn't the point, but it is the path.

    God calls us to develop the potential He has given us by leaning into the discipline He is calling us to. Who is it you want to be? What do you want to be true about you?

    Homily from the Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

    Villains and Heroes are made out of the same stuff.

    Homily from the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

    God had no backup plan after Mary.

    The Assumption of Mary is the reality that Our Lady was taken up entirely into Heaven. This is, in some ways, the fulfillment of her entire life. Since she belonged totally to God, she was brought totally to God.

    Homily from the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

    Remember you will die. Remember you have died.

    We are called to live a new life. But we cannot live a new life until we have allowed our old life to die. We need to remember that we will die in the future. Christians also have the chance to remember that we already have died.

    Homily from the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

    Do it for the love of Jesus.
