Cathedral Of Our Lady Of Guadalupe Sunday Homilies

Jesus uses the image of our human father, the image of the Good Shepherd and, above all, the gift of the Eucharist to reveal the depth of God's love for us

Because Jesus rose in his body, we have the hope that we will rise gloriously and that we will share the risen life in both our spiritual and our corporal natures.

Because Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday, we Christians observe Sunday as the Day of the Lord.

Because Jesus has risen. We have the hope of everlasting life. All worldly treasures are pittance in comparison

Politicians can enjoy popularity one day and quickly can endure criticism and rejection the next. This is not unlike what was experienced by Jesus. He was praised on Palm Sunday and rejected by the people only a few days later.

Baptism calls us to a new life in Christ. This life depends upon our believing in Christ. This entails a belief that leads us to trust in Christ and not to trust in the things that the world tells us can bring us happiness and security.

Jesus called the woman of Samaria to drink from the Living Water that only He could provide. He invites each of us to the same Living Water so that we may have a life that will never end.

The Glory revealed on the mountain of Transfiguration is the glory to which each of us are called when we are gathered into the Kingdom by the Lord Jesus so that we can share His glory for all eternity.

God is faithful. For our part, we must repent of our sins and put our faith in Jesus Christ.

As the men brought the paralyzed man to Christ, we are called to bring others to Christ so that they can find healing and wholeness. We consider it a great dead when a doctor can save a person's life. How much greater when we can bring someone to a life that will never end.

Jesus reaching out to the leper and touching him assures us that Jesus reaches out to anyone of us. It matters not who we are or what we have done. He touches all who come to him with compassion and mercy

From Suffering on Earth to Happiness in Heaven

We are called to live marriage not as the world views marriage but as intended by God from the beginning of time

As the Apostles left everything to follow Jesus, we are to make a total decision for Christ. We place him first in our lives or we cannot truly say we are His followers

God calls each of us to salvation. We must be humble enough to know we need salvation and, hearing God's call, we must respond with the gift of our lives.

God gives us so many gifts and blessings. The wise men gave gifts to Baby Jesus. What gifts do we give to Jesus?

Mary is model for us in her unquestioning acceptance of God's will and in her silent reflection over the actions of God in her life.

Jesus calls us to a kingdom ruled by God's love. We must humbly open our hearts to this love and let it transform us.

As the Divinity of Jesus was hidden under his humanity, His presence is hidden today among us in the humanity of our brothers and sisters among whom we live and work.

We need not fear the day of the Lord's coming. He comes as gentle sherpherd to lead us to the fulness of life
