Homily #110609 ( 06min) Play – Fr. Dominic encourages us to call to mind that we are Christians, called to be radically different from the world. Like oil and water, we are separated from the world in order to rise above and help raise others to the greater standard of Jesus Christ.

Homily #110327 ( 15min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on today’s Gospel where Our Lord comes to the well in Samaria and converses with a women about the living water that he has and how anyone who drinks this water will not thirst again.  Father highlights the fact that the spiritual water he is offering is different from the physical water in the well and infinitely more satisfying but uses His own physical thirst to lift up the woman from the physical to the spiritual realm. She, in turn, goes and gathers her own townspeople to Christ. This all sheds light on the wonder of the incarnation where the true God becomes true man in order for man to truly share in His divinity and to share in the work of spreading this truth.

Homily #101118 ( 08min) Play – Today’s Gospel is the account of Peter coming to Jesus who is walking on water. Peter is able to walk on the water as well, so long as he keeps focused on Jesus. But, when he looks at the violence of the waves he panics and starts to sink. Fr Dominic uses this to exhort us to keep our lives focused on the supernatural and not on the many natural troubles we may have.

Homily #100117 ( 24min) Play – The Gospel today is the account of the miracle at the marriage feast of Cana where Jesus turns water into wine at the request of His mother. Father explains how this passage is not a disparagement of His mother as some would say, but is, in fact, a great honoring of her as Jesus performs his first miracle in the context of a marriage and so underscores the importance of motherhood and family as the best remedy to our modern secular problems.
