This Sunday, our journey through the Gospel of Matthew brings us to the beginning of Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount. This is the most famous Sermon ever preached and the most famous teaching from the Gospel of Matthew.

Jesus begins His public ministry immediately after John the Baptist was arrested. Today’s readings teach us that Our Lord has come to bring us light, liberty, and unity.

After the joyful festivities of the Christmas Season, we entered Ordinary Time in the life of the Church.

Today we celebrate the great Feast of Epiphany. The celebration of Epiphany, meaning "manifestation," commemorates the coming of the Magi as the first manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles.

Today a new year begins and the Christmas Octave concludes with the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. We begin the new year celebrating the generosity and fiat of Mary that made her the Mother of God.

Today, together with the entire world, we celebrate Christmas.

Christmas is so close we can touch it!  The joy of Christ's coming is already warming our hearts!  But our Lord wants our hearts to get even warmer!

Today the Church celebrates "Gaudete” Sunday, the Sunday of Rejoicing.

Our spiritual journey of the Second Sunday of Advent takes us alongside the banks of the Jordan River.

The first Sunday of Advent brings us to the celebration of the new liturgical year.

On the last Sunday of each liturgical year, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe.

The liturgical year draws to an end. Advent is just around the corner. And today’s readings highlight our call to be holy.

As we near the end of the liturgical year, in today’s Gospel we hear Jesus’ own words about resurrection.

The basic message of all of today’s three scripture readings is about receiving God’s life-changing love, about receiving and accepting the presence, power, and love of God that leads to forgiveness and change of hearts.

In the Gospel for this Sunday, St. Luke tells us that Jesus "addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else."

This weekend in our parish we celebrate the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist – the Patron Saint of our parish.

We continue our journey with the Gospel of Luke from Galilee to Jerusalem. The journey meant to teach Jesus’ disciples and to teach us today about how to live in the Kingdom of God.

After weeks of teachings to warn His disciples about being a stumbling block for others on the journey of discipleship, this Sunday’s Gospel seems to bring much needed correction.

Saint Luke's account of Jesus' challenging preaching continues this week with the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Wealth and poverty seem to cross each other again. But there is more to the story – it is indifference and complacency what is at stake here.

The Gospel for today presents a “spiritual puzzle” as the parable ends with this phrase, “and the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently.” The steward knew that his time of employment was coming to an end and before the final moment, he uses his connections and position to prepare for the future.
