Loving God Without Counting the Cost

In this homily, Fr. Luke reflects on the readings and the story of the rich young man, asking us to consider our motives and generosity toward God. He invites us to go beyond the minimum, to love without counting the cost, and to draw closer to the Lord with pure hearts.

Saying Yes to Jesus Every Day

Fr. Luke shares how we are all called, like Joshua, to decide whom we will serve. Using St. Ignatius’ image of two armies, he encourages us to choose Christ each day with a childlike heart, renewing our “yes” through prayer, confession, and the help of the Blessed Mother.

God’s Promise for Us

Fr. Luke shares a heartfelt reflection on the Assumption of Mary, reminding us that this feast is all about God’s grace at work. As we honor our Blessed Mother, we’re invited to see her as a sign of the glory God has planned for each of us, and to live each day growing closer to Him.

The Martyr of Charity

Fr. Luke tells the moving story of St. Maximilian Kolbe, who stepped forward in Auschwitz to take another man’s place, giving his life so that a husband and father could live. With courage, joy, and a deep love for the Blessed Mother, he turned even a place of suffering into a witness of God’s love showing us how we too can bring Christ’s light into the darkest moments of life.

Seeing God’s Promise

Most Reverend Kevin J. Sweeney reflects on Moses’ vision of the Promised Land, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s final speech, and our call to be pilgrims of hope—praying for peace, defending life, and living with faith, hope, and love.

Every Soul Matters to God

In this homily, Father Jim Tucker reminds us that every person matters deeply to God. In His eyes, no one is disposable or beyond reach. Like the shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to search for the one, we are called to see each soul’s dignity and worth, and to give of ourselves so others may find their way back to Him.

Seeing Jesus in the Mirror

On the Feast of St. Clare, Fr. Luke shares the inspiring story of her call to follow Christ, her love for holy poverty, and the powerful symbolism of the “mirror” in her writings. Drawing from her life, the San Damiano Cross, and the Franciscan vows, he invites us to see Jesus reflected in our own lives and to grow in His likeness each day.

Everything Belongs to God

 Fr. Luke reflects on life’s stages, our dependence on God, and the truth that all we have is His—calling us to live as faithful servants and beloved children of our Father.

Finding Meaning in Life’s Trials

Fr. Luke shares the powerful story of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and how her faith helped her see life’s struggles in the light of Jesus. He reminds us that with God’s love, even our hardest moments can lead to peace, clarity, and hope.

Finding Life Through the Rosary

On the Feast of Saint Dominic, Fr. Luke shares heartfelt reflections on the beauty and power of the rosary. Through its mysteries, we come to know Jesus more deeply, discover the truth about ourselves, and find the courage to say “yes” to God. It’s a simple yet powerful prayer that can guide us, inspire us, and help us live the life we were truly made for.
