Who Do People Say YOU Are? - Weekday Homily Video
Today we hear Jesus ask his disciples what word was out in the public was about him. “Who do people say I am?” The disciples gave him the different versions of what they heard people thought he was. The question he asked though was a leading question. It was meant to lead the disciples to reflect on what they thought about Jesus. “But who do you say I am?” Simon Peter appropriately answered that Jesus was the "Christ of God.” – The Anointed One, the Messiah.

There are only three verses in the reading from Luke’s Gospel, and they describe rumors or gossip about Jesus that made King Herod curious. I think the last sentence has an important message: “And he (Herod) kept trying to see Him (Jesus).”

Brothers and Sisters in Christ - Weekday Homily Video
By: Father David Marcham September 24th, 2024
Luke's Gospel reminded me of an expression from my childhood: “You’re brothers! Act like it!” My brother Pat and I heard that more than a few times from our Mom when we’d be in a battle of words or fists…and it always did the trick. Growing up in Quincy, your family was a big part of your identity and a source of strength. Many conversations began with, “My Mom or Dad were just telling me… or My brother Pat’s coming with us too.” There was a definite understanding of who was part of our immediate…and extended family. At Mass each Sunday, I don’t remember the priest using the phrase “My brothers and sisters (in Christ)” in his homily very often.
Magnifying God's Light - Weekday Homily Video
By: Father Boby John, C.S.C. September 23rd, 2024
Certain scientific experiments are both simple and fascinating. One such experiment, which many of us have seen or tried, involves creating fire using a magnifying glass. In this experiment, the magnifying glass is placed in front of a piece of paper or cotton, allowing sunlight to pass through and forming a small bright dot. After some time, if the sunlight is strong enough, the paper will catch fire. The magnifying glass serves as a medium, focusing the sun's heat onto the paper to generate fire.
Our Time, Talent, and Treasure - Weekday Homily Video

Today we hear Jesus in the Gospel journeying from town to town and from village to village preaching and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With Him, He had companions – the twelve apostles who helped Him in the work of preaching and proclaiming the good news; and He also had an army of women like, Mary Magdala, Joanna, Susanna who attended to all the needs of Jesus and His disciples out of their resources. The preaching and the proclamation of the Gospel requires resources. Today we are being introduced to a group of women who provided for Jesus and His disciples so that they could continue to preach and proclaim the Gospel. They provided food, water, lodging, and if someone on the team didn’t have any money to pay for Caesar’s taxes, they put together some resources to take care of that.
