Homily #120520 ( 15min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the Gospel according to St. John where Jesus prays to His Father that His apostles would be protected and would maintain unity in charity and truth. He does this because He was about to leave them as far as a visible presence in concerned by being crucified for our sins. Then He was Resurrected and Ascended into heaven but promised that He would send the Holy Spirit who will give them the needed graces. So they prayed for the coming of the Comforter in the upper room for nine days completing the first novena of prayer.

Homily #120410 ( 10min) Play – Our Lord is called a Rabbi, Teacher, by both His enemies and His friends. He spoke openly for the truth and died for the truth. But, Fr. Angelo preaches on how He was more than a teacher because He spoke with an authority beyond the scribes and Pharisees because He embodied, or really incarnated, the truth in Himself and the resurrection of this body is therefore His greatest teaching moment. By listening to His words of truth we too will rise from bodily death to eternal life to be with Him and His Father.

Homily #120408 ( 16min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on Easter Sunday on the two great signs of what God has done for us, the Empty Tomb and the Perpetual Virginity. The virgin womb of Mary is the gate of life and is the miraculous sign that Jesus is Our Lord and Savior, pointing to His Divinity. The tomb is normally the gate of death, but because Christ’s tomb is empty it is the perpetual sign that God’s Word is the last word and His power is even greater than death. And so we have the Easter hope that God can triumph over all evil and sin, even our own sin.

Sorry, Computer Failure, Homily was not captured - Jesus said that He was going to be handed over to His enemies to be crucified. But He also said that he would rise again. Today we celebrate the joy of His Resurrection that after the sadness of the crucifixion and the seeming finality of that, the finality of death, and yet He breaks free from the grip of death and gives us the hope of doing the same. Fr. Angelo exhorts us to seek peace  by having faith in Christ’s promises.
