  • "Are You Testing God or Trusting God?" — 3rd Sun. of Lent, 3/8/26

    "Are You Testing God or Trusting God?" — 3rd Sun. of Lent, 3/8/26
    Mar 9 2026

    Do you expect that having God in your life means having no hardships? Today's first reading gives us an example of testing God, while the second reading shows us that Jesus brings the gift of peace for us to trust. This Lent, let us memorize these words to help us grow in our trust of God, "and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." (Romans 5:5)

    "The Transfiguration: What's Lent Got to Do With It?" — 2nd Sun. of Lent, 3/1/26
    Mar 4 2026

    Have you wondered why today's Gospel for the Second Sunday of Lent is about the Transfiguration? In this reading, Jesus reveals who He truly is to give us hope and the "strength that comes from God" to persevere. Whatever Lenten journey we have chosen, the hard work is worth doing to make more room for Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

  • Lent 2026 and Mass: Sharing in Christ's Victory — 1st Sun. of Lent, 2/22/2026

    Lent 2026 and Mass: Sharing in Christ's Victory — 1st Sun. of Lent, 2/22/2026
    Feb 23 2026

    Do you realize that the same three temptations that Eve succumbed to in Eden were again faced by Jesus in the desert? Only this time around, Jesus reverses it and invites us to share in His three victories. We are invited to concentrate on them during Lent, but also share in them the rest of the year and especially during Mass.

    Note: This recording is a version of the 11 AM homily which Fr. Chuck has edited, in his words, "for more clarity and less length."
