Msgr. Magee's Homily for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time - August 30, 2026

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 15:00:00 -0400

In today's homily, Monsignor Magee reminds us how Jesus came to earth as one like us in all things but sin. He explains that it is easy to praise God when the angels rejoice over the skies of Bethlehem at Christmas, or when witness Him curing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead, and rising Himself from the dead to help us believe, but we don't know Jesus fully until we are ready to love Him when He appears to us on His cross. By sharing His cross, and carrying our own cross is the only gateway to glory. Please share this podcast with someone, and have a blessed week!!

Msgr. Magee's Homily for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time - August 23, 2026

Sun, 23 Aug 2026 21:00:00 -0400

In today's Gospel, Jesus asks those who are with Him "Who do you say that I am?' By extension, He asks that very same question of each of us today. How we answer that question really determines if we ever become the person we were created to be. Also, we hear how Jesus selects Peter to be the first shepherd of the whole flock, a role which we refer to as the Pope today. Msgr. Magee again reminds us that Jesus is asking us today "who do you say that I am?" What's your answer? Listen to this excellent reflection on our gospel message today, and remember to share this podcast with a friend. Have a blessed week.

In today's homily, Msgr. McCormac tells the story of a soldier who carried a small sack of personal items which meant a lot to him. Unfortunately, they were destroyed in battle, and he realized that everything that he valued and treasured was now gone. In that moment, he realized that he would never allow himself be possessed by his possessions. After the war, he met Padre Pio, and came to realize that the only real treasure in life is Jesus himself and to be his follower. After the war, this soldier returned to the states, entered the seminary, and served our Lord as a priest for the rest of his life. Today's gospel is about treasures, one hidden in a field, and a pearl of great price. Listen to hear the rest of Monsignor McCormac's reflection on today's gospel.

Deacon Mace Mazzoni's Homily for The Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time - Sunday, July 12, 2026

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 19:00:00 -0400

In today's homily, Deacon Mace reflects on how the readings use farming imagery, and teach about God's powerful Word and about our own personal receptiveness to hearing the Word of God. In these readings, the seed represents the word of God. God lavishly spreads the seed everywhere for all to hear. The seed that was spread on thorny and rocky soil did not bear any fruit. The seed that falls on 'good soil", bears an abundant harvest. The soil represents the interior receptivity of those who hear the message. They will either hear and accept it, or hear and reject it. Ask yourself this question - what kind of soil am I? Please listen to this homily, and allow Jesus to speak to your heart. Please share this podcast with a friend, and have a blessed week.
