Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily – Friday of the 1st Week of Lent
Jesus makes it clear that any offering we give to God must include forgiveness between one another. As Ezekiel reminds the people of Israel, we are called to turn away from the path that leads to evil and walk in virtue, justice and life – with the Lord and one another.

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily Podcast – Thursday of the 1st Week of Lent
Queen Esther, alone and in anguish, turns to the Lord. Her victory – made possible by God’s help – inspires us to call upon the Lord as we ask, seek and knock for the help we need.

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily Podcast – Wednesday of the 1st Week of Lent
Jonah preaches to the people and they repent – through the signs of sackcloth, fasting, and supplication. When the people ask Jesus for a sign he recalls what happened at Nineveh, and he invites us to offer this “sign” of repentance that comes from our hearts – turning from sin and following the Lord.

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily Podcast – Tuesday of the 1st Week of Lent
Consider all the times we pray the Lord’s Prayer: at Mass; for special devotionals like the Rosary; in our private prayers; in the company of others. This little prayer (only 55 words) has tremendous horsepower to strengthen and guide us through life. The next time you pray the prayer Jesus taught (try it right now!), savor the words and allow their ancient wisdom to touch your heart with God’s grace.

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily Podcast – Friday following Ash Wednesday
Fasting reminds us through our experience of hunger about our fundamental need to receive nourishment. This experience helps us understand our spiritual need for the Lord, and out of this awareness we can cultivate gratitude in our heart for the blessings lavished upon us. What’s more, as we comprehend our basic needs we become more willing to help those in their need as well.

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily Podcast – Thursday after Ash Wednesday
Moses tells the people he has set life and death before them…choose life! Jesus reminds his disciples what profit is there to gain the whole world and lose your life? As we repent and believe in the Gospel, may we always choose to follow the Lord – the source of all life.

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily Podcast – Anniversary of the Dedication of the Cathedral
Every church is a spiritual home where we bring our hearts to encounter Jesus Christ. Big or small, ornate or simple, all churches come alive when they are filled with faithful disciples who seek the Lord and one another. To all the people who call the Cathedral their home…happy anniversary!

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily – Thursday of the 4th Week of the Year
Life offers its share of transitions, moments when we entrust our work to another and turn over our efforts into someone else’s care. Of course, that means that things are going to get done differently – maybe in a way that we would never do – and we learn how to let go and allow things to happen beyond our control. The key ingredient to this handoff? Trusting and relying on God to see it through.

Fr. Andrew’s Catholic Schools’ Week Homily Podcast
Jesus gives us the example of how we forgive one another. Forgiveness can be part of our lives in two special ways:
- Cultivating an attitude that looks for the good in others
- Helping others to forgive, especially when it is hard
Special blessings to all our Catholic Schools this week!

Fr. Andrew’s Homily Podcast – The Presentation of the Lord
The King of Glory comes to Jerusalem, but not in the way that people expect; rather, Mary & Joseph present their baby who is recognized by Simeon and Anna as the the Savior of the world. Simply put, God comes to us in unique and unexpected ways – inviting us to be on the watch for God’s presence in our lives and open to the little ways that the Lord can take our lives and do amazing things.
