Homilies

 

“Here I am Lord, send me.”  Is 6:8

“But the LORD said to me, ‘Do not say that you are too young, but go to the people I send you to, and tell them everything I command you to say.  Do not be afraid of them, for I will be with you to protect you.  I, the LORD have spoken.’  Then the LORD reached out, touched my lips, and said to me, ‘Listen, I am giving you the words you must speak’ …”  Jer 1:7-9

This page will house Sunday Homilies which are based on the Scripture readings for the Catholic mass.  The Homilies are reflections on the Scriptures and should always relate to the Scripture readings – they are not stand alone “Sermons.”  So wherever possible try to read the Scriptures referenced for the day, prior to reading the homily.  Some Scriptures are hyperlinked to the USCCB or EWTN sites, while more recent homilies have the  Scriptures included in our webpage right after the homily.

The Homily links below are listed in reverse-chronological order,
(the newest is first in the list, dated by year-month).
