Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesSimple and Practical Ways to Preach the Gospel (Lk 10:1-12)We have been told before that we are supposed to proclaim the Gospel, all of us not just the professionally trained.

Now it is by the power of the Holy Spirit that the body of Christ is made alive and it's guided and this is done through both charismatic and the institutional church. Pray to the Holy Spirit individually and seek his wisdom as mediated and revealed through the church the sacraments in the magisterium.  2025-05-2512 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesTo Love Like Jesus Is aGift of God that Gives Him Glory (Jn 13:31-35)Faith Hope and love our divine gifts.

Today's challenge from God is to learn how to hear his voice, and obey it. Only this leads to fullness of joy, purpose, and fruitfulness.  2025-05-1115 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesDomingo Buen Pastor (Jn 10:27-30)Homilia del padre Carlos  2025-05-1112 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesWe Are Sent to Show Others the Mercy God Has Shown Us (Jn 20:19-31)We gather for mass on the first day of the resurrection, the next Sunday and every Sunday to encounter the risen Lord truly present breathing His resurrected life into us.

These are rather the consequences of our sin, that God does allow. However God does not desire that we die in our sin, rather he sends his son to save us from the consequences of sin which is death.  Death becomes a servant of God that reminds us all of our need to repent and accept the salvation one for us by Jesus not our good works.  2025-03-2314 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesDomingo III de Cuaresma (Lk 13:1-9)Homilia del padre Carlos.  2025-03-2313 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesGod Makes Us Members of His Family Through Jesus (Lk 9:28b-36)God stands at the center of all time making those who came before Him and those who came after Him members of God's family by uniting us to Himself.  2025-03-1610 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesCuaresma Domingo II (Lk 9:28b-36)Homilia del padre Carlos.  2025-03-1611 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesTThis Life is a Spiritual Battle (Lk 4:1-13)Life is a spiritual battle, we are being tested.

Although we fall short that should not discourage us, because he also gives us the power to become what we see in him.  2025-03-0214 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesDomingo VIII Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 6:39-45)Homilia del padre Carlos.  2025-03-0214 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesDoes Jesus ask Too Much of Us? (Lk 6:27-38)The New Testament standard is the highest possible standard. In the Old Testament we were given the minimum requirement and failed. In the New Testament Jesus gives us the highest requirement, the ultimate goal for our transformation into children of God. We would still fail,  if not for his help,  for the power of God is offered to us to transforms us into His likeness.  2025-02-2417 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesDomingo VII Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 6:27-38)Homilia del padre Carlos.  2025-02-2415 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesIs Christianity for this Life or the Next? (Lk 6:17,20-26)I have always found an unattractive expression of Christianity is to be good in this life to go to heaven in the next. Christianity's power is it helps now bring strength purpose meaning and many other blessings into our life. However, it is true that the promise of life to come also is a tremendous blessing. We are called to live as agents of transformation in this world never fully succeeding but longing for the completion to come after we die.  2025-02-1816 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesDomingo VI Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 6:17,20-26)Homilia del padre Carlos.  2025-02-1814 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesTake The Next Step Towards Your Big Catch (Lk 5:1-11)This passage shows three different ways we can relate to Jesus; He's distant we know of Him but we're not listening to Him, He's in our life and helps us but we're still in control, or we've turned control of our lives over to Him. To allow God to work the biggest miracles in our lives requires that we allow Jesus to be the captain of our ship.  2025-02-1015 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesDomingo V Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 5:1-11)Homilia del padre Carlos.  2025-02-1015 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesJesus Our Redeemer (Lk 2:22-40)Jesus our Redeemer, our Savior redeemed us from sin, death and the evil one. He takes away the power of death he forgives us of our sins which disarms the devil's capacity to enslave us, and joins us to Himself in God's family making of us an  offering to God. On this feast of the presentation of Jesus we learn that he presents us to God just as Mary presented Him.  2025-02-0212 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesPresentacion Del Senor (Lk 2:22-40)Holilia del padre Carlos  2025-02-0212 minOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesOur Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday HomiliesIgnorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ; and That is not Good! (Lk 1:1-4, 4:14-21)If ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ, as Saint Jerome says, then that is pretty serious!

Maybe the message is that a Holy Family is not necessarily a perfect family but one who searches for, and finds, Jesus. Let's make a plan for our families to search and to  find a deeper relationship with Jesus and in that grow closer together.

If we want to make the world a better place, let’s start with our own heart. God wants to make us holy. Holiness is his work, but like the farmer we must cooperate with it and help that growth, by protecting the seed he planted, watering it and fertilizing it with our prayer, especially with scripture, reception of the sacraments, study and service.
