Homily #110506 ( 08min) Play – In today’s Gospel Our Lord multiplies the fish and the loaves to feed five thousand. Fr. Angelo preaches on how this great miracle foreshadows the even greater miracle of the Eucharist and moral miracles like conversion to the faith. However, few understand the importance of these less spectacular miracles. This was true even for those who first heard of the Eucharist when Our Lord described himself as the true bread in John 6 and many of his disciples walked away from Him. Blessed is he who believes even when he can’t see.

Homily #100418 ( 31min) Play – Fr. Bonaventure preaches on today’s Gospel account of the Apostles casting their nets on the right side of the boat on the command of the resurrected Lord. They then haul in a great number or of very large fish but even then the nets do not break. This unbreakable net is a symbol of the unbreakable Church that will catch all nations. He emphasizes that this will be tightly bound to the ministry of Peter and his successors in the office of Vicar of Christ who will “Feed my sheep” at the proper time.

Homily #080327 ( 06min) Play – In today’s Gospel Our Lord proves to his Apostles that He is truly risen from the dead by eating fish in front of them. Spirits or Ghosts can’t eat, yet because He has a Glorified body he is also able to pass through a closed door.
