Novena Day 2: The Battle Between Good and Evil

Father Dan Barnett preaches on the reality of the battle between good and evil, which stems from Satan’s rebellion against God and his efforts to induce us to deny our heavenly Father. While Satan was cast down because of his rebellion, Mary has been raised up because of her obedience, and she stands as a powerful intercessor in this spiritual struggle.

The Healing Touch of Christ

A homily for the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B), by Father David Kruse: Our Lord comes to us today in Mass to heal us – just as truly as he came to Peter’s home to heal his mother-in-law and the sick of Capernaum two thousand years ago.

Pondering the Gifts of the Magi

An Epiphany homily, by Father Darrin Connall: Mary pondered the gifts of the Magi and considered what they revealed about her Son – gold for his kingly dignity, frankincense for his priestly character, and myrrh for his death on the Cross. Following Mary’s example, we, too, are called to ponder the gold, frankincense, and myrrh of our own lives as we grow in holiness.
