This homily is based on John 6:1-15.
What a nightmare scenario: Five loaves, two fish–and five thousand hungry people! But trust the Lord to turn every event organizer’s worst nightmare into an unforgettable affair!

SCATTERED SHEEP
This homily is based on Mark 6:30-34.
Sometimes I feel like a scattered flock of sheep. Blame it on the workload, on endless deadlines and numerous responsibilities, on a lifestyle that does not create enough room for prayer and meditation, perhaps even on social media.

GEARING UP FOR THE MISSION
This homily is based on Mark 6:7-13.
In our Gospel today, the Lord sends out his chosen Twelve on their mission. He gives them very specific instructions, which, if read closely, can be quite instructive for us today.

CRAMPING THE LORD’S STYLE
This homily is based on Mark 6:1-6.
Do we ever cramp the Lord’s style?
I suspect that’s what happens in the scene we have in the Gospel today. Jesus goes back to his hometown and preaches at the village synagogue. Not an easy thing to do since he’s surrounded by people he’s grown up with, people who’ve known him, people who think they can see right through him.

TWO AWESOME MIRACLES
Today’s homily is based on Mark 5:21-43.
Today we are treated not to one, but to two miracles of Jesus! And they also aren’t just your typical Jesus miracles , where the Lord lays his hand on the sick or the possessed, and they are healed. There’s something quite unique about these two miracles, and they offer us some interesting and valuable lessons.
