Feast of the Epiphany - Jan. 7, 2018 - Fr. Brian
08/01/2018 Duration: 22minThe Feast of the Epiphany - Greek for "To Reveal." How do we come together with people of different walks of life when we live in a world that teaches we can no longer come together despite differences? Today's Gospel is about the belief that something is big enough for all of us--that's what Catholicism, is. It's Universal, which means there is a truth in Jesus Christ that is big enough for everyone. When we are not united, we are weak. This day and age, we don't miss unity because we've never seen it. So, how can we have that hope? 1. Don't look for what's wrong with someone; look for their goodness. 2. Recognize that the Gospel is good news, not good advice. 3. Be a seeker. You cannot give an answer to a question someone doesn't have, and you cannot have joy unless you seek it. Christianity does not start with advice, it starts with news. "All nations shall walk by your light."

4th Sunday Of Advent - Fr. Brian - Dec. 24, 2017
02/01/2018 Duration: 20minFather Brian discusses the power of music with memories "No one can live without joy which is why those who are deprived of spiritual joy turn to carnal pleasure." - St. Thomas Aquinas The first word the Angel Gabriel said to Mary was, "Rejoice," which marks the beginning of Christianity. Let us do our best to maintain our deepest joy, even if, in our current situations, our expectations may not be complete. The Lord is with us!

First Sunday of Advent - Dec. 3, 2017 - Fr. Brian, Back from Rome
04/12/2017 Duration: 17minFather Brian explains the Christian view of the New Year in his analogy from The Lion King. :) We struggle with identity in this world, which is why we need to remember where we came from. "You have forgotten who you are, therefore you have forgotten me."--Mufasa! Bethlehem tells us who we are, because it is the birthplace of Christianity--the entire reason for our existence. You are loved, you come from somewhere, you are a member of the family of God, because of what happened in Bethlehem. The world starts the new year on January 1, whereas The Church's new year begins on the First Sunday of Advent, because we put our hope and faith in Christ, first, and not the material world. The world lives by the motto, "Eat Drink & Be Merry, because tomorrow we'll die." The difference between Christians and the rest of the world is, the world lives in frantic-mode, not knowing what to do because time will end, and The Church lives in hope, BECAUSE time will end. Don't rush Christmas--It isn't here, yet. Focus on Adven

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, King Of The Universe - Nov. 26, 2017 - Fr. Gama
04/12/2017 Duration: 15minFr. Gama beautifully illustrates what it means to be sensitive to the voice of Christ, when others approach us for help. It may be in the most unexpected ways. With Christ's help, we can become God-sufficient, not self sufficient. Pay attention--you never know when you can serve as a person's saving grace. If we aren't living out our baptismal call to grow The Kingdom, we missed the point. Pray for awareness. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!

33rd Sunday In Ordinary Time - November 19, 2017 - Deacon Darell
20/11/2017 Duration: 12minDeacon Darell talks about the important role of all husbands and aspiring husbands in this world. It is based on three steps: Be humbled by the dignity of women, be brave enough to protect The Garden, and be a holy man of great love. Were you a good steward of these things? Were you virtuous? When we are faithful in the small things, God will entrust us with larger things. Let us strive for these things so that, when our time is up, Christ can tell us, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

32nd Sunday In Ordinary Time - Fr. Brian
13/11/2017 Duration: 28minMatthew 25. The Bible is filled with stories about wedding and marriage. In fact, the Bible itself is a wedding story, beginning with Adam & Eve. God's bride is Israel in the OT, and The Church is His bride in the NT. Jesus is always talking about weddings, and how He came to lay down His life for His Bride--The Church. The Catholic Church is so rich, that you could spend your entire life studying it and never get to the bottom of it. Your relationship to God is supposed to be a desperate romance, like the moment a bride walks down the aisle. If we have not opened our hearts to that grace, we are missing something! Flannery O'Connor--"The only good Catholic is someone who says they're not." G.K. Chesterton. "Let your faith be less of a theory and more of a love story." When we love, we become obedient, and it isn't a struggle. That's what our faith should be like.

31st Sunday In Ordinary Time - Fr. Brian - Nov. 5, 2017
06/11/2017 Duration: 25minImagine a priest at Starbucks, and the dilemma he faces when he has to tell them a name for the order. That is the life of a priest! Father Brian reveals the role of priests, and the giant misconception that the priesthood is a position of power, when in actuality it is a position of humility and laying down one's life--entirely--for Christ.

30th Sunday In Ordinary Time - Fr. Gama - Oct. 29, 2017
30/10/2017 Duration: 18minAs we inch closer and closer to the end of our Liturgical Season, Christ reveals that the two most important things for us to remember to do are to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart," and "Love your neighbor as yourself," though it is humbling to realize how hard this is to do. As we await the second coming, God moves us gradually towards grace. Who are the witnesses in your life who are leading you closer to Jesus Christ?

29th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Deacon Darell - October 22, 2017
23/10/2017 Duration: 13minDeacon Darell highlights the importance of friends who are with you through the most trying times of your life. He illustrated Plebe Year at West Point with his fellow comrades, and what a bond they developed because of that difficult year at the bottom of the totem pole. He describes his 40th reunion at West Point New York, and how they did not focus on their accomplishments over the past 40 years, but on the bond they developed during that first treacherous year of training. Pray for all souls and the strength to turn away from sin. Pray for everyone's souls so they may be worthy and perfect gifts to return to Christ what is rightfully His. We are pilgrims of Christ, who are being tested every day. Grab an arm of a stranger on the way out of church, and strike up a conversation--then ask how you can pray for them. Then, do it. Pray for God to lighten that person's cross, because we all face them every day. Make it a habit to pray for the grace to turn your likeness back to God, because we are all on this j

28th Sunday In Ordinary Time - October 15, 2017
16/10/2017 Duration: 23minOur hopes are not too big, actually, when it comes to finding your significant other. It's that our hopes are too small. Raise your standards. This Gospel is about hope, and hardening our heart with it. It is tempting to settle for things that are far less than what God has planned for us! Let us be joyful and content in where we are, because of the Hope of Christ.

Homily - 27th Sunday In Ordinary Time - 10 - 8-2017
10/10/2017 Duration: 17minTo tithe is to obey the law of God, and to trust Him to provide all your needs according to His riches and glory. Even if you aren't in a spot to tithe right now, can you do better? Give to God first, then all else will fall into place, and you will be greatly blessed.

26th Sunday In Ordinary Time - October 1, 2017
03/10/2017 Duration: 26minIt is backwards to think we can only give our leftovers to God. Commitment weekend is next weekend, so go home, and pray about how much more you can give to back to God, not because He needs it, but because you do. Give in such a way that you trust that He will provide, even if it's just one day at a time.
