Jesus came to show us how to love. Simply refraining from murder, adultery and divorce isn't all it takes to love. Love demands the whole heart. It demands a total and complete YES--to God and one another. This is the love we need to get to heaven. This is the love that will change our world.

Mother Teresa defined the hungry as those who are unwanted, unloved and rejected. She defined the naked as those who have lost their human dignity, those who have lost their purity, those who are wrapped up with immorality. By those standards, Baltimore is very hungry and naked. But there is a solution...and it is proven to work in the most dangerous town in Mexico.

Why was Mary purified? Why was Jesus consecrated in the Temple? What does it mean when Simeon said Jesus was a sign that would be contradicted? These questions are answered in today's homily on the Feast of the Presentation.
How do you counteract the 348 murders in Baltimore? How to you dispel the darkness of drugs and abortion and gangs? There is only one way. And it has nothing to do with public policy or social programs. It has to do with making Christ radically present through Eucharistic Adoration.

Why was Jesus baptized? Why should a baby be baptized within days--not months or years? How do you answer the people who foolishly say, "Well, I want wait to have my child baptized until they are old enough to choose for themselves"? All of that and more in today's homily.
The Magi were guided by a star. It led them to Christ. Where is our star to follow? We have one. And if you do this daily, you WILL be led to Christ too.
Mary is not a "distant" mother. She knows us personally. She loves us individually. And she waits to answer our prayers. If you don't feel close to Mary, there are some things you can do to rectify that in 2020...
God has SO many gifts He wants to give us. But problem is, most of us don't make room to receive them. You want peace? Joy? Happiness? Purpose? All of these gifts and more await you. But first, you need to make room in the "closet" of your soul. Merry Christmas!
This is the part of the Mass in which we ask God for everything we need and then we EXPECT a miracle.
It is in this part of the Mass that your life is transformed by God--if you know what to do...and what offering to make. This is radical. This is holy. This is HOW you pray the Mass.
