Daily Mass: Philip & James

Three Great Things

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily Podcast – the Feast of Philip & James

The Feast of Philip & James Readings

Two apostles that do not get as much attention as some of the others, James (the Lesser, the son of Alphaeus) and Philip are nevertheless wonderful examples for us:

  • They made mistakes, yet kept their eyes on Jesus
  • They did much of their work without special attention or praise
  • They offered their lives for the Lord

May they inspire us to live our faith with conviction each and ever day!

This homily, which takes places during a Healing Mass that offers the Anointing of the Sick, shows how the healing we receive finds its source in the Lord’s grace.  What’s more, we not only receive Christ’s healing, but we also serve as the Lord’s healing instruments to those around us.

School Mass: Doing the Hard Stuff

Three Great Things

Fr. Andrew’s Cathedral School Mass Homily Podcast

Note: the reading today was taken from John 15:18-21.

“That’s hard!” How often did we say that as kids?  (How often do we say it as adults?!)  Yet facing the hard stuff is part of life – with God’s help as we strive to act as disciples of Jesus Christ.
