Homily for Ascension Sunday - The Fierce Urgency of Now: A Message for 2026

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 • Duration 11:29

Almost 60 years ago, on April 4th, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King walked into Riverside Church in New York City and gave a speech co-written by Dr. Vince Harding, his peer in ministry. For over a decade, he had been the voice of civil rights throughout the land and had great success.

But on this occasion, he expanded his ministry to speak for justice throughout the world. He spoke about fighting for justice for all, putting a voice to the voiceless,
even peace to those lands.

Homily for the Sixth Sunday of Easter - Why Are We So Afraid? The Spirit Is With You

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 10:31

We need to recognize that the Holy Spirit is a gift, and like all gifts, it has to be received. It has to be opened. It has to be unleashed. As Catholics, we have some work to do with the gift of the Holy Spirit. We are maybe a tad shy in accepting the Holy Spirit as one of the persons of the Holy Trinity.

A Blessing for All Who Are Mothers

By Fr. Brendan McGuire

To you who have carried life
in your body or in your prayers,
who have nursed the wounded knee
and the wounded heart,
may the God who whispers,

I will not leave you orphans,

whisper it now to you.
For you have been His echo on earth,
the steady gaze across the room,
the patient love that waited
to be remembered.

To mothers and grandmothers,
to godmothers and stepmothers,
to those still hoping to hold a child,
to those who have buried one,
to every woman who has mothered
a friend, a stranger, a soul not her own,

may the Paraclete walk beside you,
called alongside
as you have been called alongside us.
May you be tenderly held
by the One who never leaves,
and never has.

Amen.

Homily for the Fifth Sunday of Easter - The Way, The Truth and The Life

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 06:51

A few weeks ago, I was scrolling through my phone and stopped at three news clips back-to-back. Three different people, all speaking with total confidence, all claiming to tell the truth, and all saying things that flatly contradicted what the next person had just said.

Homily for the Fourth Sunday of Easter - Do We Hear His Voice? Listening for the Good Shepherd

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 • Duration 10:57

“Do you always listen?” “Oh, listening is a bit of a problem,” they admitted. We hear the voice, but we do not always listen. Why? Because we get distracted. There are lots of things we are doing, and we want to do what we want to do,
and maybe not obey. That is the exact same challenge with God.

Homily for the Third Sunday of Easter - Walking With Those Who Walk Away

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 09:25

I know that many of you, over the years, have told me how sad you are that your children and grandchildren do not come to church. It is hard, because you wonder what you have done that has led them away, or not to stay. It is hard, because you struggle. You want them to have what you have. But I want to say to you: you have not failed. You have been faithful.

Homily for the Second Sunday of Easter - Cool the Ego, Gentle the Soul

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 • Duration 15:25

This last week I read an article about a tribe called the San tribe in southern Africa. They are believed to be the oldest continuous culture of human beings in the history of humanity, some 40,000 to 50,000 years old as a tribe. What is fascinating about this tribe is that it has no kings, no armies, no crowns, not even an official leadership in any way.

Homily for the Resurrection of the Lord - Slow Down and Let Easter Change You

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 11:17

I was talking with a colleague this week, and she said, “God, where has the year gone? It is Easter already, has Lent already passed?” I said, yeah, it has. I sympathize. Lent seemed to go faster than any forty days recently. We never seem to ever get a chance to slow down.

Homily for Good Friday of the Lord's Passion - The Key You Already Hold

Monday, April 6, 2026 • Duration 07:53

They had carried a grudge so long that they had forgotten. It had become like furniture in their house. It was just part of their lives.
One leaned into the other and said, "You know, I am sorry. I was wrong." And the other calmly said, "Yeah, I know. And so was I."
What struck me was not the precision of the words. It was what happened afterwards. The light in their faces. Their faces changed,
both of them, simultaneously.

Homily for Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper - The Power of Simply Showing Up for Someone in Pain

Monday, April 6, 2026 • Duration 10:46

One of the great gifts we have as priests is to visit people in their homes and in their areas of vulnerability, in their hospital beds, in their convalescent homes. And when we get there, yes, we bring oils, often bring communion, and we bring prayers. But what we receive is often something quite spectacular. We see relatives, loved ones, not doing anything spectacular or heroic, but they are present. They are simply present to their loved one, holding their hand, taking care of simple deeds. Sometimes conversations, sometimes not, but there is a sharing of love.

Homily for Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion - The Meaning That Carries Us Through Suffering

Wednesday, April 1, 2026 • Duration 11:53

And in this worst place of human suffering, he came to a profound realization. Who was it among them that survived? It was not the strongest. It was not the smartest. It was the one who had meaning in their life. And the meaning had to be greater than the suffering.
