Simple 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. But we always think that is beyond our capacity. In this homily Fr. Paul shares some ways that anyone can share the faith and preach the Gospel.

The Charismatic and Instrumental Church (Jn 14:23-29)
The Holy Spirit is to the church what Jesus was to his disciples. 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.

Hear and Follow the Good Shepherd for Fulness of Life (Jn 10:27-30)
If we reflect on our lives we can notice a difference between doing our will and doing the wheel of another who calls us to places where we would not go on our own. 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.

And as the father sent Jesus to us while we were still unworthy we are called to go and show God's mercy to other others, even those we might think our unworthy.

Salvation is God's Work Not Ours (Lk 13:1-9)
As in Jesus's day today some people still believe God punishes sinners with illness suffering and death. 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.

Choose Jesus as Your Guide: He is not only the Model but the Power to become what We See (Lk 6:39-45)
Today we conclude the sermon on the plane where Jesus has set out the higher standard for his disciples and then shares that he is the image into which we are to become if we are to live up to that standard. Although we fall short that should not discourage us, because he also gives us the power to become what we see in him.

Does 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.

Is 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.

Take 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.

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.

Is it a bit strange that on the feast of the holy family we hear about how Mary and Joseph lost Jesus!? 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. Happy new year.

The Worse Homily Ever: Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry (Lk 21:25-28, 34-36)
When I’m worried about many things, and feeling that the weight of the world is on my shoulders the last thing I want anyone to say to me is, don’t worry. It seems so trite. Yet that is what the readings are saying today, or in Padre Pio‘s words, the scriptures are saying pray, hope, and don’t worry! No matter what is happening, no matter how bad it is right now, God’s going to work it out. Worry does not help, but our prayer will.

Christ is the only one who can articulate the law, and fulfill it. He becomes the perfect fulfillment of the love of God and the love of neighbor, by his sacrifice as God’s Only Son on the cross. He makes visible God’s love for us, and shares with us the Holy Spirit. We can join ourselves to him to make our imperfect sacrifice acceptable to God, and by his strength to love one another. We can help that happen by a short prayer done every morning and every evening.

But these are just ways to avoid the cross, the longer and more difficult way of humility, sacrificing and Love. This is the way that Jesus chose to promote the kingdom, and he asks us to pick up our cross and follow him.

Christians are often criticized for hypocrisy, and Catholic Christians are often criticized for their human traditions. But law and traditions have an important role to help us shape our heart and to help guide us when are hearts are still a work in progress. But only Jesus who joined us in our humanity, so that we may join him in his divinity, purifies our hearts through the Holy Spirit, His presence in us. His transformation of our hearts is a lifelong task, nourished by the Sacred Tradition He has given us in the Eucharist.

Jesus Christ is the True shepherd, the One mediator between God and humanity. But to be a complete follower of Christ means also to be an active member of His church, which he established to lead others to Christ, and He promised to be with it until the end of time. Rather than an obstacle, it is meant to be, and with Christ present in it offering His grace, is a means to a deeper relationship with Jesus.

Like Amos the prophet, we don’t feel we are qualified to serve God, but God calls us all, despite how we feel, because he will give us his power and authority.

He died, not only to bring us eternal life, but to transform this world, and he calls us to work with him for the coming of that kingdom.

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.

Jesus affirms the truth of today’s first reading in Genesis and points to the solution to the fall of humanity, and all that divides us from God, one another, and from creation. Jesus has come to unite us around himself as brothers and sisters in the family of God.

This Worship is Established by God from 3,000years Ago: Feast of Corpus Christi (Mk 14: 12-26)
We know the Mass was instituted at the last supper by Jesus, but we don’t often think that God instituted the beginning of our worship over 3,000 years ago during The Exodus. Jesus intentionally drew the parallel showing that he is the true Lamb of God that the lamb of Passover only pre-figured.

Christ Ascended to Become Many and form The Church (Mk 16:15-20)

His instruction to us is to wait on the Holy Spirit, for it is only by God’s power that this great mission be accomplished. Let us renew our call to share in that mission and to be guided by the Holy Spirit, because The Church needs us and we need The Church.

You might say this homily is just another silly love homily. We hear much about God’s love. So much so that it may not have the impact it is really meant to have.

One Shepherd and One Flock; God’s Loving Plan for All Humanity (Jn 10:11-18)

The Risen Lord is still truly present today with his church just not bodily. He is present in the gathering of the community, in our prayers, in the Scriptures, and in the breaking of the bread. Hear one of his witnesses, Jean Marie, give a testimony. Praise God he still has witnesses today!

The ResurrectionMakes All Things New (Jn 20:19-31)
The resurrection is not only for us to go to heaven, it’s to transform the earth back into the original creation God intended from the beginning, and will be established at the end. For this to happen, we must boldly live our faith in the world by the power of God’s resurrected life in us.
