Homilies by Fr. Jarred

In the Father's Hands- Tuesday of the 6th Week of Ordinary Time

Beware of the leaven of the pharisees and the leaven of Herod. Both of which tell us this world and our own power will make us happy. 

Our Deepest Longing and the Deepest Longing of Jesus- 6th Sunday of Ordinary Time

We exist so long deepest longings of the people can be met by the deepest longings of Jesus Christ

The Language of Love- Memorial of Ss. Cyril & Methodious

You can't give what you don't have when it comes to love. So remember and experience (through prayer and adoration) that God has first loved you.

Get on Your Knees and Pray- Throwback Thursday

Prayer is a necessary condition to be a true disciple and to work for true justice in the world. 

Faithful Priests, Pray that It may be so- Thursday, 5th Week of Ordinary Time

Pray for priests and for vocations to the priesthood. The priest is called to be the presence of Christ among His people.

Pure Desire- Wednesday of the 5th Week of Ordinary Time

The desire for God is the sole desire to which all other desires are subject. When we sin it comes from within our hearts and we cannot lay the entirety of responsibility at the feet of situations and circumstances.

Mary, Our Refuge and Peace- Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes

Seeking refuge from the world in our Mother Mary. 

Resting in the Lord and Living a Life of Leisure- Saturday of the Blessed Virgin Mary

God wants to be friends with us not just boss us around.
