Seeing as God Sees

Fr. Luke reflects on trusting God’s wisdom over our own and learning to see beyond our limited human perspective. Through Scripture, the lives of the saints, and powerful examples from Church history, he invites us to embrace the crosses we carry, trust in God’s mysterious ways, and believe that He can bring great good even from suffering and evil.

Glimpses of Glory and the Eucharist

Fr. Luke shares a heartfelt reflection on the Transfiguration and how it points us to the hidden glory of Jesus in the Eucharist. He helps us see how the same Jesus who shone on Mount Tabor now comes to us in Holy Communion inviting us to be living tabernacles of His love.

Mary Helps Us Focus on Jesus

Fr. Luke shares the story behind the Basilica of St. Mary Major and explains why calling Mary “Mother of God” is really about who Jesus is. With history, theology, and practical spirituality, he shows how true devotion to Mary always leads us to stay focused on Jesus.

A Heart for the Flock

Fr. Luke shares his deep admiration for St. John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests, reflecting on the saint’s humility, perseverance, and powerful ministry of confession. He recalls a personal pilgrimage to Ars, France, and invites us to pray for our priests and more vocations from our own families. Through the intercession of St. John Vianney, may the Lord send more shepherds to care for His flock.

Finding What Really Matters in Life

Fr. Luke shares a heartfelt reflection on how easy it is to get caught up in the distractions of life, chasing bubbles that don’t last. He gently reminds us to slow down, be grateful for our blessings, and focus on what truly matters: loving God, living with purpose, and being a blessing to others.

Living the Jubilee Spirit

Fr. Luke reflects on the biblical roots of the Jubilee Year from Leviticus 25 and connects it to our Catholic call to forgiveness, renewal, and restoration. He highlights the First Saturday devotion given by the Blessed Mother, its ties to the sacrament of confession, and how it echoes the joy and freedom of the Jubilee. With personal stories and Franciscan spirituality, he invites us to work on our own interior renewal as a path to healing the Church and the world.

Rediscovering the Love of Jesus

Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher CFR shares a heartfelt reminder that it’s not enough to just know our faith—we have to love it too. Reflecting on the readings and the words of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, he invites us to look at our spiritual routines with fresh eyes. Have we become too familiar with the holy things? Do we still feel that spark of love for Jesus? This homily gently encourages us to fall in love with our faith all over again and to let that love move us closer to Christ.

How God Catches Our Hearts

Fr. Luke shares a heartfelt reflection on St. Ignatius of Loyola and how his spiritual journey—from a wounded soldier to a great saint—inspires us to notice how God is working in our own lives. Using the Gospel image of fishing, he asks: What is it that draws your heart toward God? Through the lens of truth, goodness, beauty and love, Fr. Luke encourages us to become more aware of how God attracts us and how we can share that same love and light with others through our lives and evangelization.

God Dwells Among Us Through Friendship

Fr. Luke shares a heartfelt reflection on how God makes His home in our everyday relationships. From Jesus enjoying a simple meal with friends to the warmth of a kitchen filled with food and laughter, we’re reminded that hospitality and friendship are sacred. Fr. Luke weaves in personal stories and wisdom from the saints to show how being present, welcoming, and kind can reveal God’s love in the most human ways.

The Gift of Hospitality

In this heartfelt homily, Fr. Luke reflects on the beautiful feast day and how God’s presence has always dwelt among His people, from the Tabernacle of the Old Testament to the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. He shares the powerful theme of hospitality, drawing from Scripture, the life of Jesus, and his memories of being welcomed by a devout Irish couple during his discernment journey. With references to Saint Padre Pio, Simon of Cyrene, and Peter, James, and John, Fr. Luke emphasizes how consolation, kindness, and friendship are not only part of the human experience but also part of God’s plan. In a world that often feels impersonal, this message invites us to cultivate warmth in our relationships and become a source of grace for others.
