11/26/17 What A Waste: The Price of Passivity

Homily from the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

The consequence of indifference could have eternal significance.

Hell is not only real, it is a real possibility. Those whom the Lord describes as being condemned were not condemned due to any sin they committed, but as a result of passivity. Sins of omission can have a consequence not only in this life, but in eternal life.

11/19/17 What A Waste: The Burden of Talent

Homily from the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Gifts are given for a purpose.

Who you are is God’s gift to you. Who you become is your gift to God. God gives each of us any number of gifts/opportunities/talents in the course of our lives. Each one of these comes with a responsibility. The burden of the gift is that we must all do what we can to invest what God has invested in us.

11/12/17 What A Waste: Wasted or Spent

Homily from the Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Spend your time on what matters most.

“Life is long if you know how to use it." And yet, most of us do not know how to use our lives…we do not know how to spend our time because we do not have a clear vision of our calling in Christ Jesus. Because of this, we end up wasting time…and wasting much our lives. But we could choose another route. We can choose to live a life of significance by spending our time on the things that matter most.

11/05/17 What A Waste: A Life of Significance

Homily from the Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Many people allow life to happen “to” them. Instead of embracing life and living a life of significance, people choose to live as if life does not have any meaning. But you were made to be significant…your life was created on purpose and for a purpose. It is time to live on purpose. Reject passivity, embrace responsibility, and pursue to God-given purpose planted in your heart.

10/29/17 Enough: Never Enough

Homily from the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

So many people feel like they can never do enough. In life, in relationships, in their faith. Because of this, people try to do everything and then beat themselves up over the fact that they are not able to do everything. But doing everything was never the goal. The goal, given by Jesus, is to love God with all. The question we are left with is therefore not “How can I do everything?”, but “How can I do the one thing that will grow love?”
