Jesus not only changed the names of Simon and Saul to Peter and Paul, but the very direction of their lives and identity. Here's my homily from this morning's Mass

On today's SiriusXM show, it's our first time with live guests in the studio in two years! Father Dave and I discuss the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling and our country returning to its original intent - the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The glory of God is man fully alive. Have you ever heard that statement? That sums up what we might call Christian anthropology. Here's my homily from this morning's Mass

Can we call Mary the mother of God? That was a debate early in the Church. Saint Cyril said Jesus is true God and true man in one person. He has two natures and Mary is the mother of that person

We're celebrating the nativity of Saint John the Baptist today because tomorrow we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I don't think John the Baptist would mind though. He is the one who said he will decrease, so the Lamb of God can increase.

Jesus tells us in this morning's reading that the road to Heaven may not be clear and can have many obstacles.

On today's show, we had Bishop Jude Ayodeji Arogundade of Ondo, Nigeri, and David Curry, CEO of Open Doors USA, on to discuss the recent attack on the Church in Nigeria. Religious liberty is being attacked all over the world.

Here is my homily from this morning's Mass. The People of Israel are sent off in exile because they were worshiping the gods of other peoples. We sometimes have the same temptation to worship false gods and pick up some evil values of society around us.

What a mighty miracle we heard about in today's Gospel. Today, the feast of Corpus Christi, we celebrate that this miracle continues in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus feeds us just as He did with the loaves and fishes for the crowd.

It’s Trinity Sunday. Listen to my four practical points about the mystery of the Most Blessed Trinity.

The brutal and senseless attack at Saint Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria yesterday is another in a growing number of attacks on Christians in Nigeria. Yesterday’s attack was especially horrific, as at least 50 worshippers were slaughtered merely for gathering to celebrate the great Feast of Pentecost, traditionally recognized as the “birthday of the Church.”

Today is Pentecost Sunday when the gift of the Holy Spirit is unleashed. I want to make three points - God the Holy Spirit is a real person, wants to live in us, and is alive and active in and through the Church.
