03/06/19 Behind Enemy Lines: Isolated and Disoriented
Homily from Ash Wednesday. You are in a fight; what comes next?For many of us, our default assumption about life is: it’s fine. Even when things are obviously broken, we can pretend that they will “fix themselves.” But Lent reminds us that we are in a battle that won’t be won unless we are ready to engage the enemy who will attack us like our Lord was attacked in the wilderness...behind enemy lines.

11/03/19 CompariSIN: Infinitely Preferred
Homily from the Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time.What makes them so great? What makes me so awful?When someone else being honored or loved more than we are meets our insecurity, we are tempted to tell stories…about them and about ourselves. But when we know who we are and are grateful for what we have, we have security. And comparison is powerless.

Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Easter.Failure either gives us clarity and conviction or course correction.Failure is not final and failure is not fatal.
