God placed his hope in Abram, and so Abram placed his trust in God. Even when we head down the wrong path, God still hopes in us with unshakable confidence. Find that hope in yourself today so that you can place your own trust more firmly in God, no matter the challenges.

John the Baptist was created by God blessed with a particular mission and wonderfully made to be able to carry out that mission. You and I are also called to great things and greatly gifted by God to be able to carry them out. Ponder that today.

Join Fr. James Marchionda, OP in the Know Before You Go video for the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. Surprisingly, we get Jesus' words instituting the Eucharist not in the Gospel, but from the second readings, Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians. The Gospel challenges us with a feeding miracle of Jesus from Luke in which Jesus challenges the twelve to feed the crowds themselves. Fr. Jim then relates this with similar calls from Pope Francis and Pope Leo for us all to do something to care for refugees and migrants.

A call to integrity: Why Catholics must weigh everything against the Truth of the Gospel, not partisan agendas or digital deception.

"It is the decision of the Holy Spirit and of us not to place burdens on you." The early Church rejected legalism to embrace the freedom of the Gospel.

God’s promise of a “new heaven and new earth” isn’t just for the future—it begins today through our choices. God dwells with us NOW. Are we building His kingdom—or tearing it down?

Join us for a Word of Hope on this significant Saturday of the Octave of Easter, as we reflect on the glorious resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and commemorate the funeral mass of our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis.

This reflection touches upon the courage, kindness, and compassion shown by leaders, drawing inspiration from figures like Pope Francis.

Join us as we explore the profound mystery of the empty tomb as recounted in the Gospels of John (Chapter 20) and Luke. We'll unpack the experiences of Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John as they encounter the first signs of Jesus' triumph over death – the rolled-away stone, the burial cloths, the angelic message: "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?"

This homily delves into the question: Are we, like Mary, willing to listen to God's voice and embrace His divine plan for our lives? Discover how Mary's humility and faith can inspire us to say our own 'yes' to God's calling.

Join Fr. James Marchionda, OP for today's insightful daily homily (Monday, March 24th) as we reflect on the powerful readings from 2 Kings 5:1-15 and Luke 4:24-30. Discover how God's healing extends beyond borders, as seen in the story of Naaman, and how Jesus reminds us that God's love and grace are for everyone.

Fr. James Marchionda, OP breaks open the readings for the Second Sunday of Advent, in which Peter, James, and John go up the mountain with Jesus and he is transfigured before them, and God tells them, "This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him." As their faith was strengthened by this event, our faith should be strengthened as we journey through Lent, so that at the end of it no storm will be able to shake our faith in the God to whom we cling.

Readings: Genesis 15:5-12,​17-18; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 9:28-36
