Homily #110514 ( 08min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the irony of how Judas betrayed Him just as He was asking the apostles to love each other as He has loved them. This meant loving them them to the point of giving up His life for them. This sacrifice come about by the very lack of love of Judas. But even this great scandal in the infant Church was used to further the Divine plan as His death won the graces the Church needed to elect Matthias to replace Jesus and then go and teach all nations. Let us take courage, then, in this age of scandal.

Homily #100425 ( 22min) Play -  Today is Good Shepherd Sunday, the forth Sunday in Easter where the readings refer to Jesus as the Good Shepherd, specifically how he leads His sheep to eternal life. It is also the Church-wide prayer day for vocations to the priesthood. Fr. Angelo preaches on the need for good shepherds, especially in the face of Church scandals and in the face of a society that is in a state of moral decay which is leading so many to eternal death.

Jesus said:
“My sheep hear my voice;
I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
No one can take them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand.
The Father and I are one.”

Homily #100228 ( 16min) Play – Fr. Angelo Geiger preaches on today’s Gospel of the Transfiguration of the Lord on Mount Tabor in front of Peter, James and John. Jesus does this in order to strengthen the faith of his disciples so that they could survive the scandal of the Crucifixion. We need to take note that only one of these three disciples remained with Jesus at the foot of the Cross. So we need to make sure that we fully apprehend all the revelations that we are given through our Holy Faith, especially Our Lord’s presence in the Eucharist.
