Homily #100801 ( 14min) Play – Fr Angelo preaches on the Gospel which today is the parable of the publican and the pharisee who pray in the Synagogue. Father gives the context of the parable which is the hypocrisy of the Pharisees who accused Jesus of breaking the sabbath but then broke it themselves by plotting His death on the the Sabbath. He compares this to  the failures of people in authority today both in the Church and in society as a whole and how this causes cynicism against all authority especially in regard to fatherhood that is increasingly put down in today’s society. But cynicism is not the answer for we will be judged on our own merits and focusing on others’ faults as the Pharisee did in the parable will bring a similar judgment upon us.

Homily #100704 ( 22min) Play – In today’s Gospel Our Lord sends Seventy-two of His disciples out to preach and heal. Fr. Bonaventure explains that 72 has symbolic meaning referring to hierarchy around Moses and the Sanhedrin who have authority over the people of God. When Jesus sends out the disciples it is to extend the kingdom of God to push back the kingdom of Satan. Today we are all called to do the same at a time when the kingdom of Satan is on the march.

Homily #100114 ( 06min) Play – St. Hilary of Poitiers fought the heresy of Arianism in his time. He did this by being true to the Magisterium. As the Catechism says:

Par 85 “The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the Word of God, whether in its written form or in the form of Tradition, has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone. Its authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ.” This means that the task of interpretation has been entrusted to the bishops in communion with the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome.

This simple policy guarantees that we won’t fall into error of personal interpretation whether of scripture as the Protestants do or of Tradition as the ultra Traditionalists do.

Homily #080629 ( 22min) Play – Fr. Angelo Geiger, FI preaches the homily on the Feast of Sts.
