Homily #100208 ( 05min) Play – Fr. Angelo points out that the miracles of healing still exist in our present age. We still have the challenge of believing in His presence just as people who saw Jesus had to believe that he was also God, but then he will give us his healing grace just as he did then.

Homily #100207 ( 14min) Play – In today’s Gospel we see St. Peter being Peter, that is, he has the best of intentions and yet is very imperfect in carrying them out.  He wants to obey when Our Lord asks him to set out for the deep in his boat, and does, but he complains first, only to see how unworthy he is when Our Lord manifests his holiness with the miracle of the great catch of fish. Fr Angelo compares this to the first reading of Isaiah where Isaiah sees the holiness of God and knows he is unworthy to be His messenger and the need for God’s gift of sanctification to be made worthy.

Homily #100131 ( 15min) Play – Why is there so much outrage against Christ? To understand this you must recognize the existence of the Kingdom of  Satan and those who are apart of it. Christ, by coming to set people free from sin, has declared war on that kingdom. In his time Jesus prepared His disciples for this battle and so he does today.  We must take courage that He is with us especially in times of peril.

Homily #100128 ( 04min) Play – St. Peter Nolasco was founder of the Mercedarians who worked to gather alms to free the Christian captives of Muslims. He even went so far as to offer his very self as a substitute so that others could be set free. As such he fully lived the message in today’s Gospel :

Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
