Cathedral Of Our Lady Of Guadalupe Sunday Homilies

Our faith in the risen Christ can bring great joy into our lives. That joy is more enduring than any hardship and suffering that comes into our lives through following Christ.

We are called to stay faithful to Jesus in the daily Struggles of Life.

Jesus became one of us so that God might bestow His mercy on the entire human family.

Lest us strive to follow the Risen Jesus in Holiness

Lazarus, for Jesus, was asleep. Pointing out to us that death is not the end, but a transition to a new life. That life comes to us through the dying and rising of the Lord Jesus.

Curiosity can be healthy or sinful depending. Curiosity that leads us to the true Light is healthy. Curiosity that leads away from the light that God gives into darkness is sinful.

Where do we go to satisfying the deep yearnings of our lives. If we go that which the world offers, we constantly come back for more. If we go to Jesus, we find an inexhaustible source that satisfies our deepest longings.

What is it in our lives that first befriends us only to turn on us at a latter time and bite us?

As Jesus was sent by the Holy Spirit into the desert, we are sent into the desert of Lent to intensify our prayer, to sacrifice and to give alms. Let us respond to the grace of this Sacred Season.

God calls us to serve, even in our unworthiness.

We are called to let ourselves be transformed by Christ and to allow His love in us to be the root of all that we do.

Opening our hearts to Jesus can bring us joy. We can then share that joy with others.

Jesus gives us the new wine of sharing in his life. He desires to transform us by an intimate union with him so that his life and love leads us to give of ourselves in love and service of others.

We are our best selves when we allow ourselves to be on fire with the Spirit which we received in Baptism and Confirmation.

Like the Magi, we search for the one who can meaning to our lives. The Magi lead us to the One who can fulfill our yearning. The Child of Bethlehem has arms open to receive each and every one of us.

Husband/Fathers take spiritual leadership in your family. Family prayer strengthens the family and draws the family into deeper unity.

The story of the Visitation draws upon Old Testament imagery to show Mary to be the bearer of the New Covenant be between God and the human family.

When joy is lacking, we are called to repent and confess our sins so that we can again be filled with joy

We are called to commit ourselves to a regular, faithful Stewardship of the gifts God has given us. We are to give in proportion to God's generosity to us

Our Love for God, for the Church and for others is expressed by our giving of Alms.
