If you delve into the Prodigal Son, perhaps the path to understanding and receiving God's love isn't as complicated as we might make it out to be!

The 2nd Reading and the Gospel this weekend are a bit difficult to hear: why this harsh language from Paul, and from Jesus? Does it fit with how we know Him?

We are so used to seeing fleeting signs of glory, at least in a fleeting sense. Maybe it is time for us to behold a heavenly glory through the Son.

There is so much more to Lent than simply a "self improvement project." Are you focused on God in these forty days and forty nights? Will you give Him the repentance that He is due, and enjoy eternal rewards?

There is a very clear split between the halves of today's Gospel- the ones who are blessed, and the ones full of woe. Why does it seem counter-intuitive in the eyes of so many?
I must beg your forgiveness for this homily- my voice is very under the weather at the moment, and so this episode is very short!

Introduction
"Be not afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ." Those words were a part of Pope John Paul II's timeless first address after being named the Holy Father. Through my homilies, talks, and lectures, here presented, it is my hope to continue that same work that John Paul II dedicated himself to so many years ago.
As a priest, I seek to bring others closer to God as a humble instrument, and pray that I can, in some small way, continue to resonate that very same theme that John Paul II begun his papacy with.
Therefore, what he has said, I say to you: "Be not afraid. Open wide the doors to Christ!"
