The Stewardship of Mary, Our Blessed Mother

9 hours ago

During the month of May, we have occasions to reflect on and honor Mary who is not only the greatest saint of our Church, but the model of stewardship by her own life witness. Today, for Catholics, Mary is honored as the “Mother of God”, which is the highest of her titles. This title is the foundation for every other title attributed to her. ...

If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. In today's homily, Father Jerry shares about hatred and indifference as he quotes Elie Wiesel, the late Romanian-born American writer and professor. He said, "Indifference is more dangerous than anger and hatred," he says, "Anger can at times be creative... but indifference is never creative... Indifference is always the friend of the enemy."...

Friday of the 5th Week of Easter

2 days ago

In today's homily, Father Jerry tells the story of a loving son who dropped everything and learned to make and sell cheesesteak sandwiches by the thousands, earning the money necessary to take his terminally ill mother on the vacation of her dreams. "Can we love enough to make someone's dream a reality?" asks Father Jerry. Lord Jesus, may we possess the grace of Your Father to love with the humility, generosity, and completeness of Your love for us.

Many many years ago, there was a great wizard who longed for a wife and family. Though he was good and kind, he intimidated every woman he met. So the wizard set about to concoct a chemical that would cause the object of his affection to fall in love with him. As luck would have it when he had completed his elixir, he met a beautiful, talented and good woman. Does love actually come in magic potions and priceless gifts? Watch today's short video to see how things turned out for the great wizard.

Wednesday of the 5th Week of Easter

"It's the pruning season for many of us! Cutting away the dead branches of winter to let the new blossoms and buds of spring grow," says Father Jerry in today's homily. "It's the time for gathering up the debris and dead thatch of our lawns and gardens, turning over the soil, and re-seeding the bear patches." Clearly, Jesus is not talking about our front yards or gardens in today's gospel!...

The ruler that Jesus warns us of in today's gospel is that self-centeredness that makes us put our own interests and wants before that of others. The ruler that Jesus knows too well is the attitude that our perspective, our sins, our morality, our culture and nationality and race, are superior to that of any other. The ruler that is the antithesis of Jesus' spirit of compassion and justice is the source of division and discord among our families and communities....

The Feasts of Saints Philip & James

6 days ago

A new pastor was named for a small parish. The priest was told that it was a dying church. It wasn't growing. The small congregation could barely pay its bills. Its days were numbered. But in getting to know the congregation, the pastor saw something else. "I began to see the strengths of my church," he said, "They genuinely liked each other."...

In today's homily, Father Jerry describes All Hallows parishioners' differences in powerful detail. "And yet despite these differences — regardless of race, gender, orientation, age, attitude, social class, physical condition, ideals, circumstances, and experiences — are one in Jesus Christ. And for that reason we are all united with one another." "I am the vine," says Jesus, "You are the branches."...

Whoever believes in me will do the works I do, and will do greater ones than these. "Scrubbing the pan in which Sunday's pot roast was roasted, getting your children to and from school, doctors appointments, rehearsals and practices, and managing the family finances are hardly inspiring, exhilarating experiences," says Father Jerry in today's homily, "But they are holy acts....

Friday of the 4th Week of Easter

"In 2019, the year before the pandemic, long lines of climbers jammed the base of Mount Everest, leaving tons of garbage across the Himalayas," says Father Jerry in today's homily, "But this year, with no visitors, due to COVID 19, local sherpas have been working to restore the environment. As part of the cleanup efforts, 12 Nepalese climbers scaled two mountains and crossed four alpine glacial passes, to remove 24,000 pounds of garbage: food wrappers, cans, bottles, and empty oxygen cylinders."...
