Homily #100809 ( 07min) Play – The Devil uses scripture to try to deceive us by quoting scripture and nothing is more often quoted than Matthew 7:1 “Judge not and you will not be judged.” Another often used phrase is, “Hate the sin, love the sinner.” Father explains the limits of these statements to show how saintliness is not silliness.

Homily #101017 ( 19min) Play – Our Lord gives us the parable in today’s Gospel of the unjust judge who cares nothing about God nor man, but after being pestered enough by the woman seeking justice he gives her request. Fr. Angelo preaches on the need to follow this woman’s example to pester God who is, instead, a just Judge, and so will all the more give us all that is good. Not only is it good to keep pestering good but Jesus give us a command to do so. He know all that we need ahead of time but we need to show him our trust in his goodness by continuing to beseech him even when we get tired of praying.

Homily #120625 ( 04min) Play – Fr. Bonaventure on how we need to commend ourselves and others to God rather than judge others. Specifically we should not presume to make final judgment on others fro this only belongs to God. We should  focus most on sanctifying ourselves since we are so much in need of it.

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Dec 22 on how Hanna, the mother of Samuel, in the first reading from the Old Testament is a prefigurement of Mary in the Gospel reading from the New. He connects this with the power of prayer especially when it is heartfelt and then compares Hanna’s prayer to Mary’s Magnificat.

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Nov 07, 2021, on how we need to look after widows and the poor how today like in the time of the Pharisees people tend to abuse religion to avoid taking care of the poor. He connects the generosity of the poor widow as compared to the rich donors who often got their wealth from taking advantage of the poor widows. God who has the poor close and dear to him will judge and reward according to this standard.
