Homilies

Today I want to make two propositions to you. The first is that those who trust Jesus with your faith and life will see him bring them safely to heaven. The second is that those who trust the church with their faith and life will get the support to get them to heaven.

The feast of the holy family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, which we celebrate today, teaches us to hold on to the gifts of God to us: our families and faith. God gives us our families, but he also gives us faith and the faith community to adequately enrich us to take care of the family because of our faith values.

Christmas does not only celebrate, but also invites us to accept a reality; the truth is that "GOD SO LOVED YOU AND ME THAT HE SHARES THE GIFT OF HIS SON WITH US."

God doesn't follow our time. The promise He made to David came to pass after David's dynasty was long destroyed without any trace. God doesn’t quit his promises.

Maintain absolute faith; remember to pray constantly and show kindness. During this advent, there are prayer opportunities and other resources that will be made available on the parish website and emails. Please find time to engage with them. Remember also to read the gospel of Mark, which is the gospel for year 2021. Jesus says, behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone opens the door for me, I will come in and live with him or her.
