10/22/17 Enough: I Am Not Enough

Homily from the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

What is beneath a feeling of helplessness?

There are times in life when a person is so overwhelmed that they feel like they cannot move. They need more information or they need more strength. But often, what we need is more courage. Facing fear and surviving, regardless of success or failure, instills courage. We recognize that we know enough and are enough to move. But life is still bigger than any of us. In those moments, we realize that we are not enough and need something SomeOne…more than us.

10/15/17 Enough

Homily from the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

You can never have enough of what you don’t need.

A culture of excess is an unhappy culture. A person of excess is a person driven by fear. But with Christ, a person can find joy even when they do not have what they need. Because with Christ, they know that they have enough.

10/01/17 Look Like Jesus: Christ's Why

Homily from the Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

For the Glory of the Father.

Each one of our lives is made up of any number of "what's". But a truly great life is driven by one great "why". This "why" is the motivation and the vision for a life lived on purpose. The life of Jesus can be summed up in one single great "why".
