Homily #081028 ( 07min) Play – On this Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Father preaches on the fact that the Apostles were not chosen because they were particularly special. However, Our Lord worked miracles of grace to those of them who were open to his gifts. We too need to be open to his transforming gifts.

Homily #101028 ( 10min) Play – Today is the feast of Sts Simon and Jude and Fr. Bonaventure preaches on the foundation that Our Lord builds from the foundation stones of the Apostles. He covers what is know about these more obscure apostles, how they worked together and won the martyr’s crown in Persia and how St Jude is the patron saint of difficult cases, then on the apostolic nature of the true Church as one of its chief marks of authenticity and how the apostles were given the impossible mission and carried it out with miraculous results.

Homily #111028m ( 20min) Play –

This is the first of three homilies from when Fr. Peter was at Mt. St. Francis for a visit in late October. On the Feast of Sts Simon and Jude, he reflects on how Jesus called 12 men to be his co-workers in the New Covenant. He is giving us a mission us to be His co-workers, but we must understand that any true mission comes from God and depends on Him.

Homily #141028n ( 04min) Play – Father comments on the Gospel of today, telling us that the word “Apostle” comes from the greek “apostolos” meaning “sent.” At Our Lord’s Ascension, He sent out the apostles to the world, and made them the 12 pillars on which the Church was founded. Although we know little of today’s apostles, we do know they preached the Gospel to the pagans, and testified to it with their lives. Like them, we must first come to know the Lord intimately, and then spread what we encounter there out to the rest of the world by our voices and our lives.
