Daily Homilies

A Life Led by Love

This homily explores how our lives are like a journey, an exodus. Just as God led His people out of slavery in Egypt, Jesus leads us out of the slavery of sin and selfishness into the freedom of love. We’re reminded that this world is not our home; we’re pilgrims on the way to heaven. With help from the Scriptures, Pope Benedict XVI, and a beautiful Franciscan song, we’re invited to see love as the true path to freedom, the way out, the way forward.

The Heart of Worship

Fr. Luke shares how the Passover story points us to Jesus, the true Lamb who sets us free. He reminds us that our faith isn’t just about checking boxes or following rules. It’s about the heart. God wants more than our routines. He wants a real relationship. Even today, we can slip into just “going through the motions,” but Jesus calls us to something deeper. To let His grace change us from the inside out.

God is with you always

Fr. Luke shares a powerful and comforting message that we are never alone. He reflects on the moment God tells Moses, “I AM” and connects it to Jesus, who is Emmanuel, God with us. Whether life feels heavy or confusing, God is right there, walking with us, helping us carry the load. Even in the hardest moments, He is by our side, loving us through it all.

Clothed in Grace

Fr. Luke reflects on the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the Carmelite order, and the Brown Scapular’s connection to Fatima. He shares how the Blessed Mother, as our spiritual mother, draws us closer to Jesus and helps form us in holiness.

Jesus at the Heart of Our Story

Fr. Luke shares the story of St. Bonaventure and his simple but powerful message: Jesus is at the center of all history—and our own lives too. God is with us in every chapter, through every joy and struggle. When life feels confusing, it’s Jesus who helps us see the bigger picture and gives our story meaning.

A Pure Heart for Christ

This homily reflects on the life and legacy of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, showing how her deep faith amid suffering teaches us to trust God in every trial. It invites us to see holiness in sacrifice, to remain faithful despite rejection, and to recognize how Christ transforms pain into grace. Through her example, we are reminded that God is always present and will provide, even in the most difficult circumstances.

A Call to Love and Reparation

In this powerful homily, we reflect on the moral law written in our hearts and revealed in Scripture. We are reminded of the Blessed Mother’s call at Fatima to make reparation for sins through the devotion of the First Saturdays. With stories of her apparitions and the message of her Immaculate Heart, we are invited to respond with love, repentance, and trust in God’s mercy. A moving reminder that through the Eucharist, the Rosary, and a life of conversion, we can help bring peace to the world and healing to hearts.

Called to Live in the Light of Christ

In this heartfelt homily, Fr. Luke reflects on the beauty and power of living in the light of Christ. Sharing stories from his time as a friar, a touching baptism, and a visit to the Holy Land, he reminds us that our lives are a gift meant to be lived with integrity, faith, and spiritual readiness. With warmth and humor, Fr. Luke invites us to keep the flame of faith burning brightly and to walk as children of the light, trusting in God’s mercy and truth.
 

Chosen by God

Fr. Joshua Caswell speaks from the heart, encouraging us to stay close to God even when life gets hard. With stories of the Blessed Mother, St. Benedict, and the little shepherds of Fatima, he reminds us that we’re not here by accident. God has called us to be gentle, faithful, and strong, trusting in His love and peace.

When Life Feels Like a Mess

 Fr. Luke reminds us through Joseph’s story that God can bring good even out of our most painful and confusing moments. He shares the image of Padre Pio as a child, looking up at his grandmother’s tangled needlework—unable to see the beauty from below. In the same way, we often only see the knots and loose threads of life. But from God’s view, it’s a masterpiece. One day, in the light of heaven, all will make sense.
