She is engaged to marry a man named Joseph. The Archangel Gabriel invited Mary to participate in the Nativity of our Lord. Jesus invites us to participate in Christmas by inviting others into the joy of the season.

2020-11-201h 34Sunday HomilyCornerstone, Week 4: Heart for the LostJesus came for the lost and this greatly upset the religious leaders. Jesus further upsets them as he stated that tax collectors and sinners were entering the kingdom of God before them. The lost were coming into a relationship with God before the religious leaders because they were repenting and doing what God wanted them to do. Often people who turn back to God are the most zealous for him. At Saint Mary, we want to keep focused not on religious people, but on the lost so that they can become fully devoted followers of Jesus

2020-04-0517 minSunday HomilyGrace and Truth: God is with UsFrom day one, Jesus was a burden to almost everyone he came in contact with. In some form or another along the way, Jesus burdened Joseph, Mary, the Roman Empire, even the innkeepers. Preparation for Christmas is often a burden- there are the practical difficulties of shopping, cooking, etc., but for others, it brings a bigger burden or fear for the bad memories or experiences it creates.
But Mary and Joseph, prompted by the angel Gabriel’s greeting to Joseph, “do not be afraid”, cooperated with God’s plan to receive Jesus as grace, despite the challenge and burd...
2019-12-1710 minSunday HomilyGrace and TruthAdvent is a time when grace and truth enters the world in a special way: the arrival of Jesus. Many people struggle balancing grace with truth. We tend to be good at emphasizing one but not the other. Truth without grace isn’t actually truth… it’s about being right. Grace without truth isn’t really grace… it’s enabling or lawless.
In this series, we hope to move from thinking about grace and truth as an “either/or” to a “both/and” attitude. In the persons of John the Baptist, Mary, Joseph, and most perfectly, Jesus, we witness examples...
2019-11-2710 minSunday Homily8th Grade Faith: PrayerAs kids, we are told to say our prayers. We memorize prayers before meals, the “Our Father,” the “Hail Mary,” and prayers for bedtime. Rote prayers are good, but to mature in faith we eventually need to move beyond saying our prayers to entering into prayer and conversation with God based on the events and details of our life. In this message we will look at the prophet Habakkuk as a model for prayer.

Sunday HomilyThe Secrets of Every Happy Family: MothersHappy families, successful ones are characterized by mothers who understand their role is like Mary’s role, a role of preparation. They're preparing their children for release into their own lives, under their own authority, in the larger world, in the same way that Mary released Jesus into his public ministry. This is the selfless role of all mothers, to bring their children up to live independent faith-filled lives.
