In this homily on St Matthew 8:5-13 (the faith of the Centurian), given on the Sunday after the Feast of American Independence (7/6/2025), Fr. Anthony continues to remind us of our calling to order creation, focusing on the evangelic method that looks for the good in something and working to make it better. Christ did not focus on the faults of the Centurian, but on what was good in Him so that it might become his defining characteristic and thus guide him (in Christ!) towards the better, the more beautiful, and the True. He encourages us to do this for our neighbor and our nation. Enjoy the show!

This homily was given at an outdoor chapel up in the mountains at Camp St. Thekla on the 27th of June, 2026. The recorder was a few feet away from Fr. Anthony, so the recording has a chorus of insects as background noise. In the homily, Fr. Anthony describes our calling to identify and nurture the good in creation (to include that in our souls!) towards perfection. Enjoy the show!

This homily was given on the 26th of June 2025 at Camp St. Thekla in Cleveland, South Carolina, at the celebration of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul (offered in anticipation). In it, Fr. Anthony reflects on the bold faith and deep friendship between these two pillars of the Church. Drawing from their distinct personalities— Peter the confident fisherman who was always both bold and repentant and Paul the intellectual missionary who was always ready to live and sacrifice for his beliefs. Father encourages all of us to recognize how God uses our unique gifts for a greater purpose. He challenges listeners, especially the youth, to be courageous in their faith, to build strong friendships rooted in Christ, and to be open to the mission God is calling them to. Fr. Anthony gave a version of this homily tailored for his parish the following Sunday (but neglected to record it). Enjoy the show!
