Homily from Ash Wednesday. 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.

Hope is not a “soft” virtue. It is a fighting virtue. Hope is what enables us to live in the present with strength and conviction. It takes hope to take action.

Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. God is able to make you holy even if He never makes you whole. God calls you and I in our weakness; He doesn’t necessarily call us out of our weakness.

Homily from the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. It is often very tempting to forget the heart of God. To forget that He notices us, delights in us, and rejoices in us. When the focus shifts from His love to our insufficiency and feelings of insignificance, He reminds us of the truth.
