Missions and Prayer - 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time - October 20th, 2019

What do we mean by missions?  We mean our organized and intentional efforts to spread the faith throughout the world. We are blessed to have through the Catholic Faith an opportunity to be in relationship with Jesus Christ and through Him with the Father and Holy Spirit.  Such relationships with the Divine Persons of the Triune God can be a great source of joy!  It is this joy that starts on earth, that we hope to have forever in Heaven.  A joy that we want others to have too.  Listen to my homily to learn more about the missions, including more local activities.

Humility seen in Mary - Talk given on October 5th, 2019

I think we can all agree that humility is a good virtue.  However, it can be difficult to exercise.  In this talk I explain humility and then look at the humility of our Mother Mary.   This talk was given at the Women's Morning of Prayer and Reflection at Ascension Catholic Church on October 5th, 2019.  As a bonus, I include my homily for the Mass that morning.
