A homily for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B), by Deacon Jim Kestell: The Greek word used to describe Jesus’ reaction to the people before him like “sheep without a shepherd” is a word that expresses a compassion that moves the depths of one’s being. This word is only used to describe the compassion of Jesus and three characters from his parables – the master of the indebted servant, the father of the prodigal son, and the Good Samaritan. God extends this deep, powerful compassion to us and invites us to evangelically share that compassion with others.

A homily for the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B), by Father Kyle Ratuiste: Hoopfest and the Fourth of July celebrate values like strength, determination, and self-sufficiency, but we can never forget that we stand in need of rescue and healing before God.

A homily for the Solemnity of the Birth of John the Baptist, by Father Darrin Connall: Celebrating the birth of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the Lord, is a fitting time for us to consider how we ready ourselves to meet Jesus at the end of our lives. The devotion of receiving the Eucharist on nine first Fridays is a concrete way to do just that.
