A Christmas homily by Father Darrin Connall: God’s entrance into his own creation on Christmas Day gives all created reality a new dignity. This new dignity and the unique dignity bestowed on human beings undergird much of the Church’s ministry and teaching from hospitals, to education, to defense of the unborn and vulnerable.

A Christmas Vigil homily (Year B), by Father Kyle Ratuiste: When we are asked to do something, how often do we say “wait,” “I’ll do that later,” or “I have other plans”? Thankfully, Mary and Joseph did not say anything like that when God asked them to be part of his great plan to bring our Savior into the world! They are examples of what it means to say “yes” to God.

A homily for the Second Sunday of Advent (Year B), by Father Darrin Connall: John the Baptist is a reminder of simplicity. During Advent we do well to see the difference between our wants, which leave us anxious and wanting more, and our needs, which leave us content and at peace. Our needs are ultimately satisfied by our relationship with Christ.

A homily for the First Sunday of Advent (Year B), by Father Darrin Connall: As we begin the Advent season, we can ask ourselves, “In what ways am I spiritually held captive?” We turn Jesus Christ to ransom us from our captivity.

A homily for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A), by Father Darrin Connall: Jesus demands that his disciples be good and faithful stewards to what has been entrusted to them. What does stewardship look like for us at the Cathedral? We have inherited the legacy of past generations who sacrificed to bring beauty to our worship. Likewise, we act as stewards of beauty, because beauty leads us and others to the divine.

A homily for the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A), by Father Darrin Connall: Purgatory is like the “mud room” to the mansion of heaven where we are cleansed of our sinful inclinations that cling to us after we die. By our prayers, we assist our loved ones who are being purified by God to be welcomed where “nothing unclean shall enter” (cf. Rev. 21:27).

An All Saints Day homily by Bishop Thomas Daly: All Saints day helps us to celebrate especially the unknown saints of heaven – the “little people,” who “through the ordinary tasks of an ordinary life lived with extraordinary faith and beauty.” Their heavenly triumph gives us hope to become saints ourselves, and their prayers support us on our earthly pilgrimage.

A homily for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A), by Father Kyle Ratuiste: The commandment to love the Lord, our God, can be summed up in one word: desire. God calls us to desire him with all our heart, mind, and soul, and this requires us to examine our emotional attachments, the media we consume, and the way we structure our lives.
