“We celebrate the last Sunday of our liturgical year, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. The Kingdom of God is not just about a future relationship with Christ in heaven, but it is a deep realization that the Kingdom is here and now in our lives and even in our suffering here an now. All things belong to Christ even our loneliness, our pain. We work for the Kingdom as we reach out to others in life as it is on earth. ” Sunday, November 25, 2012, The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King

“We learn a lesson from the fig tree. There is dying to do in winter so that spring may happen. We learn to let go, to set our identity on Christ even in the midst of our lack of earthly possessions. The Kingdom of Heaven is present among us who long for this identity, not an identity bound by education, material possessions or earthly wealth, but of the presence of Christ Jesus. ” Sunday, November 18, 2012, Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.

“We offer back to God everything that God has given us. We are all poor, we all need God and we all give from our poverty. What has God given you? What is God asking of you to give back? We give back all that is in our hearts, all the gifts, talents and even our security. We all give from the human condition, from our need for God.” Sunday, November 11, 2012, Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time.

“All faith, all of God’s message for us is about love. The question here is how do we learn to receive God’s love and how do we share it with others? It breaks my heart when I meet people who believe they are not worthy of God’s love, either because of their mental illness or their abusive past, or other circumstances. We need to learn how to receive God’s love and then learn how to live that love in the world.” Sunday, November 4, 2012, Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time.

“There is much beauty and truth embedded in this gospel text. We all have yet to see and discover that Jesus is near. How many people have we encountered on street corners and have ignored? How many homeless people, blind people are trying to get our attention. Our response is usually to turn away. Our blindness comes from fear. Jesus asks us all, ‘What do you want me to do for you?” Sunday, October 28, 2012, Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

“The disciples are getting pretty gutsy. They are searching for the meaning of their relationship with Jesus. They have left everything behind. Now they want a badge of honor. ‘We want you to do for us whatever we ask of you’ They seem tired, exhausted from their service. They are trying to make sense out of their authority. Their authority becomes not of power, but of them becoming servants.” Sunday, October 21, 2012, Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

“This gospel calls us to a deeper reliance on God. The youth comes to Jesus with a real desire for God and to do the right thing. Jesus challenges him to not only learn something about God, but to live the message by giving his possessions to the poor. Jesus then promises him that he will receive in abundance all that he needs. I learn this utter dependence on God from our ministry among people living in poverty” Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Sunday October 14, 2012.

“Jesus presents a child to show us how to be open to the Kingdom of God. The powerlessness, the openness is the starting point. We do not have children in our hospitality center and very few children in our parish… Last year when I toured the neighborhood we saw a man opening the door to a public restroom. We ran to help him. He had just overdosed from heroin…Nothing is impossible with God. ” Sunday, October 7, 2012, Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time.

“Jesus tries to reorient our priorities. Even our bodies, our most treasured possession, must not be as important as the Kingdom of God…I remember being so afraid of speaking with this man who was completely paralyzed. He said to me, “I am the one who is paralyzed, so why are you so afraid.” We need to pray through our own fear. We set our hearts, our bodies and priorities on the Kingdom of God.” Sunday, September 30, 2012, Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
