This homily invites us to slow down and really wrestle with what we hear in Scripture instead of just passing over the parts we don’t understand. By reflecting on the miracle of the loaves, we see how Jesus Christ is showing that His nourishment is meant for everyone — first Israel, then the whole world. The warning about the leaven of the Pharisees becomes a gentle reminder to let go of pride and self-importance, especially as Len...

This homily gently reminds us that Lent is a time to let God work on the broken places in our hearts. Through the story of Kevin Matthews and the rescued Broken Mary statue, we see how God can turn what feels damaged or forgotten into something beautiful. We’re encouraged to look honestly at hidden struggles — especially pride and judgment — and invite God to heal them. Echoing the Lenten call of Pope Leo XIV, the message is simple...

With Ash Wednesday just around the corner, Father Luke Mary Fletcher invites us to reflect on what it truly means to live a Christian life. He shares stories from childhood, lessons from Jesus, and the importance of trusting God’s grace instead of relying only on our own effort. Morality isn’t just about following rules—it’s about love, making good choices, and walking with Jesus every day. This Lent, let’s open our hearts and lean...

On the feast of Saints Cyril and Methodius, this homily reminds us that confusion and tension in the Church are nothing new — believers have faced them since the earliest days. Through Scripture and the witness of these missionary brothers, we see how God calls His people to stay faithful, reject false worship, and remember that the Gospel is meant for everyone. Their story shows how holiness, patience, and unity can guide us throu...

On the anniversary of Sister Lucia dos Santos’ passing, this homily invites us to reflect on a simple but challenging question: are we truly listening to God? Through Scripture and the Gospel account of Jesus healing a deaf man, we’re reminded how easy it is to hear without letting God’s word reach our hearts. His correction is not harsh punishment, but loving guidance meant to draw us back when we wander. Like the moment echoed in...

Today’s readings place two powerful examples side by side: King Solomon, who began with great wisdom but slowly drifted away, and a humble mother whose faith moved the heart of Jesus. The contrast reminds us that following God is never something we can coast on — we must keep choosing humility and faith every day. At the same time, no one is beyond hope, because God can raise even a sinner into a saint. It’s both a warning and an e...

On the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes and the World Day of Prayer for the Sick, this homily reflects on Mary’s call to prayer, healing, and conversion. We’re reminded that faith isn’t just about following external rules — Jesus brings us back to the heart, where real change happens. Like the healing waters of Lourdes, God’s grace flows into our lives through the Eucharist to restore and renew us. This reflection invites us to open ou...

This homily reflects on the incredible mystery that the God whom the universe cannot contain chooses to dwell within us through the Eucharist. By connecting King Solomon’s prayer, the Blessed Mother, and the story of Saint Scholastica, we’re reminded that reverence for Jesus isn’t only shown in church — it must shape how we treat others every day. Receiving Christ is meant to transform our hearts and unite us in love. We’re invited...

This homily reflects on a powerful moment in salvation history — when God’s presence filled the Temple — and shows how it all points to Jesus. What once symbolized God’s dwelling becomes fully real in Christ, who heals and restores all who come to Him. Even more amazing, that same healing presence remains with us today in the Eucharist. Every Mass is an encounter with the living Jesus, who comes to dwell within us and prepare us fo...

This homily reflects on Jesus’ call for us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, reminding us to live our faith in real, everyday moments. Through humor, personal stories, and spiritual insight, we are encouraged to be who God created us to be. The message highlights that the Church is all of us, and when we stay close to Christ, His light shines through our words and actions. In a world that often feels dark, we ...

On this First Saturday, we are reminded why the Blessed Mother asked for this special devotion — to draw our hearts closer to Jesus. Reflecting on Solomon’s prayer for an understanding heart and Christ’s compassion for His people, the homily shows how God wants to shape our hearts too. Mary’s Immaculate Heart becomes a refuge that leads us back to confession, prayer, and the Eucharist. In a world filled with uncertainty, this devot...

In today’s homily, we learn that our biggest struggles aren’t just with the world around us — they’re spiritual. From King David to John the Baptist and the Japanese martyrs, we see that true victory comes through faith, courage, and a change of heart. Jesus shows us that the battle against sin and temptation can be fought through prayer, confession, Mass, and devotions like First Friday and First Saturday. Even small acts of love ...

This homily reminds us that God’s plan was never meant for just a small group of people at one moment in history — it was meant for every generation. From King David passing his kingdom to Solomon to Jesus preparing the apostles, we see how God ensures His grace continues through the Church. Even persecution and martyrdom could not stop it. Like water flowing down a mountain, God’s grace keeps moving. Today is our turn to receive t...

Today’s readings reveal how pride can quietly close our hearts to God. King David recognizes that arrogance shaped his actions, while the people in Jesus’ hometown reject Him because they think they already know Him. This homily challenges us to examine where familiarity, comfort, or self-reliance may be dulling our faith. Moments when faith feels ordinary are not failures — they are invitations to go deeper. When we ask the Lord t...

On the Feast of Saint Blaise, we celebrate God’s healing power. Today’s Gospel reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just heal the body—He heals the heart and welcomes us back into God’s family. From the woman who suffered alone for years to the child who seemed lifeless, Jesus shows us that faith brings true life. Let’s reflect on these miracles and let them inspire us to trust God more deeply.

This homily invites us to see God’s glory in a new way. Instead of power and spectacle, God comes quietly into the temple as a humble child. Jesus shows us that true glory is found in humility—most clearly in His birth and ultimately on the Cross. We are reminded that God works gently and often unnoticed, and that our own trials and sacrifices, when accepted with love, can purify our hearts and draw us closer to Him.

Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reminds us that true happiness isn’t found in fame or money, but in living like Jesus taught us. Through the Beatitudes, he shows how God values the humble, faithful, and loving people who serve others with care. Even small acts of love and prayer can make us reflect God’s mercy and bring real joy, peace, and fulfillment in our lives.

Today’s homily reflects on the life of Saint John Bosco and the story of King David’s repentance after being confronted by the prophet Nathan. We are invited to see God’s response to sin—not as punishment, but as mercy that allows us to experience the consequences of our choices so that we can be healed. Drawing from the message of Fatima and Sister Lucia’s words, this homily reminds us that God continually calls us back through re...

This homily reminds us that both sin and grace begin in small ways. Little choices can slowly lead us away from God, just as small acts of faith can grow into holiness. Through the story of King David, Jesus’ parable of the growing seed, and the patient life of Sister Lucia of Fatima, we are reminded that God’s Kingdom often grows quietly and slowly. Even when we feel nothing is happening, perseverance in prayer, the sacraments, an...

This homily reflects on God’s promise to King David and how it is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. What began as a promise to one man became God’s plan of salvation for the whole world. Through the Church, Christ’s light continues to shine today. Drawing from Scripture and the message of Fatima, we are reminded that God asks us to live our faith each day, renewing our “yes” to Him and sharing the light of the Gospel with others.
