HOMILIES

  • One’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions [Daily Scripture Readings & Meditations]
    In this little parable Jesus probes our heart – where is your treasure? Treasure has a special connection to the heart, the place of desire and longing, the place of will and focus. The thing we most set our heart on is our highest treasure. What do you treasure above all else? Read more…
  • 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time [Catholic Doors]
    Now, since life does not consist in the abundance of possessions, how do we accumulate spiritual treasures in Heaven? We accumulate spiritual treasures in Heaven by our acts of love towards others, by our acts of charity, through the goodness that we manifest towards our neighbours in the love of Jesus. What we do to others, we do to Christ. Read more…

HOMILIES

  • Ask, and It Will Be Given You… [Daily Scripture Readings & Meditations]
    We can approach God our Father with confidence and boldness because Jesus Christ has opened the way to heaven for us through his death and resurrection. When we ask God for help, he fortunately does not give us what we deserve. Instead, he responds with grace and mercy. He is kind and forgiving towards us and he expects us to treat our neighbor the same. Read more…
  • 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time [Catholic Doors]
    Jesus concluded His teaching by saying that if you ask, it will be given to you; if you search, you will find; and if you knock, the door will be opened to you. It should be noted here that the reference to asking, searching and knocking is a reference to requesting the Holy Spirit. For it says, “How much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.” The asking, searching and knocking is in reference to Divine knowledge, understanding and wisdom. It is a reference to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is a reference to the fruit of the Holy Spirit. All of these are needed for the sanctification of the soul during its perseverance in the living faith. Read more…

The following are homilies, images, clipart, videos, and multimedia slides you might find useful for your celebration of the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C).

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus visits Martha and her sister Mary. Mary sits beside the Lord and listens to him speak while Martha, burdened with much serving, comes to Jesus and says, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving?” Jesus tells Martha that Mary has chosen the better part and that it will not be taken from her.

HOMILIES

  • One Thing is Needful [Daily Scripture Readings & Meditations]
    The Lord Jesus desires that we make a place for him, not only in our hearts, but in our homes and in the daily circumstances of our lives as well. We honor the Lord when we offer to him everything we have and everything we do. Afterall, everything we have is an outright gift from God (1 Chronicles 29:14). Read more…
  • 16th Sunday – Year C (July 18th) [Oxford University Catholic Chaplaincy]
    And so to the gospel for next Sunday, which is clearly about hospitality – but whose? At one level, it is true, the hospitality is clearly that of Martha, who accepts Jesus into her home. But it is also the hospitality of Jesus, who thinks that it is permissible and proper to be with women and to talk to them about the things of God; like the three men in our first reading, Jesus actually honours the house of the two sisters simply by being there and not worrying about ritual impurity. Read more…
  • 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time [Catholic Doors]
    Were others hurt by the actions of Mary? Was Martha hurt? It sure appears as if Martha was hurt because she was left to do all the work by herself. But, according to the Words of Jesus, Martha was being distracted by many things. The work that Martha was doing was not necessary. Martha created her own work. It was not demanded of her. She could have sat alongside Mary in order to be enriched by the spiritual foods that Jesus was feeding to Mary. But no, Martha chose to be a people pleaser. She was probably running right and left to prepare worldly food for Jesus as the Guest in the house. But Jesus was telling Martha that the Heavenly food is greater than the worldly food. Read more…

The following are homilies, images, clipart, videos, and multimedia slides you might find useful for your celebration of the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C).

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan. In the parable, a traveling Jew is beaten, robbed, and left half dead along the road. First a priest and then a Levite come by, but both avoid the injured man. Finally, a Samaritan comes by. Samaritans and Jews generally do not like each other, but the Samaritan helps the Jew.

HOMILIES

  • Go and do likewise [Daily Scripture Readings & Meditations]
    What does Jesus’ story tell us about true love for one’s neighbor? First, we must be willing to help even if others brought trouble on themselves through their own fault or negligence. Second, our love and concern to help others in need must be practical. Good intentions and showing pity, or emphathizing with others, are not enough. And lastly, our love for others must be as wide and as inclusive as God’s love. God excludes no one from his care and concern. God’s love is unconditional. Read more…
  • 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C [Kairos]
    The love which Jesus has for us, the love which caused him to make us, the Church, into his own body, is the same love he shares with the Father. This is the love to which we are all called. We must love all as he loves all. If, therefore, there is nothing and no one outside God’s love, how can we even dare suggest there is someone outside our love, someone who is not our neighbour? Read more…
  • 15th Sunday of Ordinary Time [Catholic Doors]
    Our neighbours are all around us. Our obligations consist of raising our children in the faith, providing for the homeless, feeding the hungry, helping the refugees and the immigrants, tending to the seniors, adopting the orphans, defending those who are persecuted, bringing the Gospel to the prisoners, reaching out to the prostitutes, etc… These are our neighbours, my neighbours, your neighbours. What we do for them, we do for the Lord Jesus. By reaching out to those in need, we reach out to Jesus. By refusing to extend our friendship to those in need, we are withholding our friendship from Jesus. Read more…

HOMILIES

  • The Harvest is Plentiful… [Daily Scripture Readings & Meditations]
    When Jesus commissioned seventy of his disciples to go on mission, he gave them a vision of a great harvest for the kingdom of God. Jesus frequently used the image of a harvest to convey the coming of God’s reign on earth. The harvest is the fruition of labor and growth – beginning with the sowing of seeds, then growth, and finally fruit for the harvest. Read more…
  • 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C [Kairos]
    Jesus again has to help them get the perspective right. It was not human success that mattered, but rather that their names were written in heaven. The challenge for us is to check our baggage and see whether anything is weighing us down and preventing us from experiencing the freedom that comes to the disciples of Jesus. Read more…
  • 14th Sunday – Year C (July 4th) [Oxford University Catholic Chaplaincy]
    There is enormous joy in being disciples of Jesus; but that does not mean that we live in a magic world which no pain ever approaches. Next Sunday’s readings are all quite clear-eyed about the suffering that we can expect; but they know that it is not the end of the story, because God is in charge of our world. Read more…

HOMILIES

  • No One Who Looks Back is Fit for the Kingdom of God [Daily Scripture Readings & Meditations]
    When the Lord calls us to follow him he gives us the grace to put aside everything that might keep us from doing his will. Loyalty to Jesus requires sacrifice, letting go of my will for God’s will. A would-be disciple responded by saying, I must first go and bury my father, that is, go back home and take care of him until he died. Jesus certainly did not mean that we should refuse to care for others, especially our parents in their old age. His startling statement, however, made clear that God must always be first in our lives. If we love him above all, then everything else will fall into its proper place and time. Read more…
  • Homily for the 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C [CACINA]
    How should we treat people of other faiths or cultures, or people who have hurt us, or people we are afraid of. Should we allow division because of tradition or should we try to find ways to understand and empathize with these people. We are people who are called, but are there people who are called to a different way? Is there only one way to follow Christ? We are called today to consider this in our own lives and battle against our own prejudices and our own fears, and to put into practice Jesus’ law of love that Paul tells us of today, and this is the Good News we need to find this week!

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus dines in a Pharisee’s house. Upon learning that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee, a sinful woman in the city comes to Jesus and weeps at his feet and bathes his feet with her tears. She then wipes her tears with her hair and anoints Jesus with oil. All these the woman did to show her love to Jesus and to express sorrow for her sins.

HOMILIES

  • Which of Them Will Love Him More? [dailyscripture.net]
    Why did a woman with a bad reputation approach Jesus and anoint him at the risk of ridicule and abuse by others? The woman’s action was motivated by one thing, and one thing only, namely, her love for Jesus and her gratitude for forgiveness… She took the most precious thing she had and spent it all on Jesus. Her love was not calculated but extravagant. In a spirit of humility and heart-felt repentance, she lavishly served the one who showed her the mercy and kindness of God. Read more…
  • Eleventh Sunday: Treasuring Forgiveness [www.st.ignatius.net]
    God’s forgiveness is offered not just to us and to those whom we know who have hurt us, but also to those whom we don’t really know but whom we rather avoid. Perhaps they appear to be in the underbelly of polite society. Maybe they are people who have come to the Lord for forgiveness. Maybe they are people who need us to lead them to forgiveness. We are not called to arrogance. We are called to holiness. Read more…
  • The Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time [onlineministries.creighton.edu]
    The Gospel-reading ends quite significantly with the naming of those women who were also close friends and disciples of Jesus. In the culture of the times, women’s power was limited. Jesus invites, welcomes and dignifies them by His open embracing of their presence. They are finding in this holy Man a power that is used – not abused. In the Kingdom which Jesus preaches women are empowered to give Him birth, care, and sent to tell His good news from the touching experiences of their own lives. Read more…

26th Sunday (Ordinary Time – A)

This is my first attempt at making a series of presentations for Sunday homilies. Feel free to download, remix and share the slides with others.

Reading: Matthew 21:28-32
‘What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, “Son, go and work in the vineyard today.” He answered, “I will not”; but later he changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said the same; and he answered, “I go, sir”; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?’ They said, ‘The first.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, the tax-collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax-collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him.

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells the Parable of the Two Sons. The first son says “I will not go” but went and the second says “I go, sir” but did not go. The question is obvious: which of the two sons did the father’s will?

The first son represents those who voluntarily make wrong decisions but later on repent and make amends by doing what is asked of them. The second son represents those show good intention and make promises quickly, but do not fulfill them.

The Father has commanded us to do His will.
Our words and deeds must concretely express our “yes” to God’s will. Good intentions are not enough. We must strive to put our intentions into action. God will judge us by our actions, not by our intentions.
