Homily #091115 ( 10min) Play – Fr. Ignatius explains the parable in today’s Gospel of how the Kingdom of God is like a muster seed that grows into into the largest of bushes. This miracle of growth from the tiniest of seeds  occurred by the action of God in the form of miracles and also by the action of men in the witness they gave by practicing their faith to a heroic degree. God is still performing miracles. Are we doing our part?
Ave Maria!

Homily #080720 ( 22min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the Sunday Mass at the end of our Encampment Weekend for the Knights of Lepanto. The day’s Gospel has three parables of the Kingdom of God, the Field with the Wheat and the Weeds, the Mustard Seed, and the Yeast and the Bread. These parables that are agricultural in their details hark back to the fall which involved good and bad fruit, and so, underscores how salvation comes to us in the same way that the fall happened but in reverse. Listen as Father explains how this refers to our need to battle temptations in our life, to uphold family life and how this fits with the role of the Knights of Lepanto.

Homily #080713 ( 19min) Play – Fr. Angelo Geiger preaches on the Parable of the Sower, explaining that Jesus is doing three things with this parable, He gives the parable, explains the need for parables and then explains the parable to the disciples. Father focuses on the fact that Jesus needed to use parables due to the hardness of our hearts and, of coarse, this is bad news because the parable itself likens hard hearts to the hardened path which was not receptive to the seed of the Words of Life. Let us pray to Our Lady, the Virgin Earth, the Fertile Ground to help soften our hard hearts and so be able to bear a rich fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.
