Homily #150621j ( 08min) Play – Fr. Mahan reflects on the gospel account of the calming of the storm by Jesus in Peter’s boat. It is said that a true leader is a calm, steady presence amidst the chaos. Father connects this with fatherhood, as this homily was given on Father’s Day, and to Our Father in Heaven, that He lends a calm, steady presence amidst the chaos of our lives and enables us to follow Him where we would never go on our own.

The post The Fatherhood of St. John Bosco – Jan 31 – Homily – Fr Matthias first appeared on AirMaria.com.

On the memorial of Sts. Nicolas Tavelic and Companions, Martyrs (Nov 14), Fr. Matthias gives the homily on how we are called to share the Gospel of salvation in Christ even with the Muslims in our multicultural society.

It is hard to pretend that Islam is a religion of peace; the fear of a violent reprisal for pointing out contradictions between this politically correct claim and the widespread Islamic persecution of Christians makes it even worse. However, we too were once hateful and hating one another, until we came to know the God of Love, Whom the Muslims likewise are called to know and accept as well (cf Titus 3:3).

Ave Maria!
