    04/13/25 The Place of the Way: Here
    Apr 12 2025

    Homily from Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion.

    Thank God ahead of time.

    We often put off joy and praise and peace. We are tempted to be preoccupied with wanting to be "there" or wanting to be "done" with whatever we are working on or whatever we are doing. Yet, as Catholics, we are called to be "here". We can best live "on the way" when we don't wait to thank God; when we thank God before we are "there". We can thank God right here.

    04/06/25 The Place of the Way: Dead Ends
    Apr 5 2025

    Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Lent.

    We run out of all hope...and then Jesus.

    The Dead End is a necessary place of the way. The location where we run out of our own skill and our own strength and find ourselves completely unable to move forward on our own. In the midst of the dead end...and then Jesus.

    Mass Readings from April 6, 2025: Isaiah 43:16-21 Psalm 126:1-6Philippians 3:8-14

    Mar 29 2025

    Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Lent.

    To look like Jesus, we must learn how to live in the Presence of the Father.

    When it comes to our relationship with the Father, too often it is marked by hiding our hearts or avoiding His gaze. But we must learn how to live like Jesus, who remained in the Father's Presence at all times and with profound trust.

    Mass Readings from March 30, 2025: Joshua 5:9, 10-12 Psalm 34:2-72 Corinthians 5:17-21

Homily Helps

Thank you Fr Mike for the effort you make to give a high quality homily with good production quality too. Your pearl was a launching point for me this weekend when I was stuck, not sure what to preach on.

Father Mike FTW (for the win)

I hope Father Mike hears or reads these reviews. I started with Bible in a Year on 1/01/23 and now have three of his podcasts in my library. He has changed everything about my relationship with God and my view of the Bible. I have been up and down with God for my whole life, mostly down. I have found new hope, and yes, even LOVE for God the Father now. I have been humbled and am working my way into a fulfilling and loving relationship with the Almighty, thanks to the care of Father Mike. I am grateful.
