“No prophet is accepted in his day and native place. Jesus develops his authority among the people. He is the word-made-flesh. We all know how difficult it is to challenge people or change people we love. People in recovery teach me that people can change, yet families of people in recovery do not always change.” Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time.  Sunday February, 2013.”

“Jesus is the fulfillment of Divine revelation, the Father’s love for us all. The Paschal Mystery is the fulfillment of God. Jesus establishes his authority in the world, he is the one to be the messenger of the Father. The liturgy unfolds to tell the story of this fulfillment of Christ on earth. He is going to bring us good news not only in words but in action. We too will be the bearers of good news by how we respond to people in suffering. ” Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.  Sunday January 27, 2013.”

“The disciples discover as a miracle worker. The wine is a foreshadowing of his death and resurrection. The wine will be transformed into his Blood, the revelation of the Covenant. The wedding is also a revelation of connecting heaven and earth, Jesus becoming love on earth.

“The baptism of the Lord is the end of the Christmas season. This feast is another revelation of Jesus belonging to the Trinity and revealing to the world his  life as the Messiah. We also recognize the gift of our own baptism as the place where the authority of God is revealed within us. We are connected to God by baptism, not just a moment but for our whole lives. We are all the beloved of God. ” The Baptism of the Lord. Sunday, January 13, 2013.”

“Epiphany is a great story of faith. We are all searching for the place where the child is. We are all searching for this place of Christ Jesus. In our parish community people are searching in the night, for sex, drugs, alcohol, for an escape, for entertainment. There is a greater light than the lights of glitter, neon and billboards. The light we long for is the person of Christ Jesus. ” The Epiphany of the Lord. Sunday, January 6, 2013.”

“The story of the Holy Family here is riddled with conflict. The story continues the Christmas season as the revelation of Christ in the world. This story is a foreshadowing of the Resurrection.

“The liturgy takes a turn on this Fourth Sunday of Advent. We do not hear the great prophets shaking-up our attitudes or stirring our imaginations. We hear of the encounter of these two holy women before John and Jesus were born. We stand with Elizabeth and Mary longing for the same expectation that Christ will be born in us, in our day, in our lives and attitudes and place in life. ” Sunday, December 23, 2012.

“The crowds asked John the Baptist, ‘What should we do’? This question is also for our lives as well. John gives them a nitty-gritty answer about how to live, about how to deal with possessions and how to deal with others. We rely on God for everything as believers. God’s love for us makes us equal. Our faith in daily life is no different. Our possessions, how we live and what we own must all create this equality. ” Sunday, December 16, 2012. The Third Sunday of Advent.

“We hear about John the Baptist as he points into the direction of the Kingdom of God. John the Baptist stirs our imaginations about what we are waiting for. The desert we wait in at our parish is the desert of the streets, of mental illness, loneliness and generational poverty. The desert remains on our sidewalks. We  need to be on level ground with all people. How do we interpret the voice of John in our day and age? ” Sunday, December 9, 2012, Second Sunday of Advent.
