The Place Persecution Cannot Reach In today’s homily, Fr.

Standing Firm in a World Falling Apart - Fr. Matthew Tomeny | 11/18/25 15:05

8d ago15:05

15:05

In today’s homily, Fr. Matt offers a sobering reminder: a nation cannot survive spiritually if its people abandon truth. As Catholics, we are called not only to believe the faith, but to study it, to guard it, and to allow it to shape our daily lives. The Church teaches that the Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of Truth” (John 14:17), and when we invite …

12:34

“We're at times where a lot of the arts are really suffering in multiple countries with funding and cost of living. Understandably, people come for the arts, but our job is at times to hold a mirror to society. We can learn a huge amount. It can really change everyone's perspective.

A Culture Without Love Cannot Defend Life - Fr. David Gunter | 11/17/25 7:54

9d ago7:54

7:54

In today’s homily, Fr. David reminds us that the pro-life mission begins not only with defending the unborn, but with defending the truth about the human person.

Hope in the End Times - Fr. Chris Alar | 11/16/25 18:58

10d ago18:58

18:58

In today’s homily, Fr. Chris invites us to confront a reality many avoid: the Church teaches that we are living in the “end times”—not because the world is ending tomorrow, but because public revelation closed with the death of the last Apostle. As the liturgical year ends, the Gospel readings turn our attention to eschatology: the destruction of t…

Truth, Mercy, and the Courage to Shepherd Souls - Fr. Daniel Klimek, PHD | 11/14/25 12:14

12d ago12:14

12:14

The Book of Wisdom reminds us that creation itself reveals the divine Artist, yet humanity so often stops at the art and forgets the Artist. St. Paul echoes this in Romans 1:20, teaching that God’s truth is visible through nature, leaving us “without excuse.” Natural law is not an invention of the Church but a reflection of the Creator’s design — e…

Divine Wisdom and the Kingdom Within - Fr. Mark Baron | 11/13/25 13:42

13d ago13:42

13:42

True wisdom doesn’t come from books or clever ideas — it comes from God Himself. As Fr. Mark reminds us, divine wisdom is the light of God that orders all things in creation and directs them toward their ultimate purpose. Today’s readings from Wisdom 7:22b–8:1 and Luke 17:20–25 show us that this divine wisdom is not something distant or abstract; i…

20:06

Today, the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Josaphat, a bishop and martyr who gave his life for the unity of the Church — a unity founded in Christ Himself, who “is our peace, He who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity through His flesh” (Eph 2:14). In today’s Gospel, we encounter the ten lepers who call out to Jesus from …

Love That Can’t Be Bought - Fr. Chris Alar | 11/11/25 16:50

16:50

Today, Fr. Chris Alar reflects on the true meaning of love through the example of St. Martin of Tours — a man remembered for one simple act of charity. A Roman soldier who divided his cloak to clothe a beggar, St. Martin discovered that in serving the poor, he had served Christ Himself (cf. Mt 25:40). What seems like a small moment reveals an etern…

Who is Mary in God’s plan of redemption? Is she “Co-Redemptrix”? “Mediatrix of All Graces”? What does the Church actually teach about these titles — and why has there been renewed discussion about them? In this special votive Mass, Fr. Jason offers clarity on the Blessed Virgin Mary’s unique role in salvation history, following the recent doctrinal…

“How do you render something interior filmically? How do you communicate the details of the lost child, of the amount of time of the stuck creative process, and even the exterior, or the externalization of the house as a kind of hellish thing that's barely staying together—literally flooding with waste—and that you can't afford? So those are the de…

The Eternal Investment Plan - Fr. Chris Alar | 11/7/25 16:55

In today’s Gospel, Fr. Chris Alar reflects on what it truly means to be a faithful steward of the gifts God has entrusted to us. The steward in the Gospel, much like the prodigal son, squandered what was not his. But how often do we do the same? Our time, our treasure, and our talents—none of these belong to us. Everything we possess is a gift from…
