Homily #100103 ( 13min) Play – Epiphany of Our Lord marks the second part of Christmas which is the manifestation of Christ to the whole world as an introduction to His public ministry as an adult. Fr Angelo explains who the Magi were and why God lead them with the star first to King Herod in Jerusalem and only then to Bethlehem and the Christ Child. He contrasts the response of the Magi to that of Herod when they receive the message of the coming of the Messiah.

Homily #091121 ( 05min) Play – Today we celebrate the presentation of Our Lady as a mere child by her parents Sts. Joachim and Anne to the temple in Jerusalem which was an ancient custom in Judea among the most pious Jews. Thus early in her life Mary is associated with the temple, the dwelling place of God, foreshadowing how she would be the dwelling place of God as she bore him in her womb and in her heart.

Homily #091025 ( 20min) Play – Jericho is a city that symbolizes sin while Jerusalem symbolizes virtue. Bartimaeus the blind man of Jericho was cured by our Lord, both physically in his eyes and spirtually in his heart, for he then left the blindness of the sins of Jericho and followed Our Lord into the promised land of the heavenly Jerusalem. Today this spiritual battle is still raging. Let us have the in-sight to turn our backs on sin and darkness, take up our cross, embrace sanctity and purity, and follow Our Lord into His Kingdom of Light.

Homily #090315 ( 20min) Play – Our Lord shows the importance of zeal for the Temple in Jerusalem by driving out the money changers.
