The Spirit Poured Out: Embracing the Divine in Our Human Journey
Homily by Fr. Bill Wilson, SJ.
“Then John said to them all, 'I baptize you with water; but one is coming who will baptize them with the Holy Spirit...” (Luke 3:16)
The Catholic Catechism states that “Jesus’ immersion in water is a sign to all human beings of the need to renounce themselves in order to do God’s will.” In other words, as baptized Catholics there is only one gift we need to give to Jesus – the gift of ourselves. Surrender to God, place your trust in Him, and allow the Holy Spirit to work through you for the greater glory of God.

Transcending Ourselves to Meet the Savior
11am mass Homily by Fr. Rob Alore, SJ.
The world might have expected the Son of God to be born—if He was to be born at all—in an inn. A stable would be the last place in the world where one would have looked for Him. Divinity is always where one least expects to find it.
— Bishop Fulton Sheen
Prophecies fulfilled in our Lives
Homily by Fr. Rob Allore, SJ.
“For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:44)
When you hear the scripture readings and Gospel reading at Mass, do you “leap for joy?” If not, don’t blame the lecturer or priest, rather look inside yourself. What are you doing to grow in friendship with Jesus? How do you prepare for Mass each week? Do you just show up and expect to be entertained? As the Body of Christ, we are called to be active participants, not just passive observers.
