As we stand in the sacred days between Ascension and Pentecost, this homily invites us to find hope in our brokenness and be renewed in our mission to feed the sheep.

Join Fr. Brendan Curran, OP in exploring the readings for Ascension Sunday, where we don't so much celebrate Jesus' leaving, but in his leaving his mission to us, promising the gifts of the Holy Spirit to enable us to accomplish it.

Delve into Jesus' profound statement from the Gospel of John: "I am the bread of life." Discover what it means to be nourished by Christ for eternal life and how we, like the indigenous communities in Chiapas, are called to share the blessings we've received.

In this reflection, Fr. Curran draws inspiration from the Acts of the Apostles (cf. Acts 8:1b-8), highlighting the courage of St. Philip. Following the martyrdom of St. Stephen and amidst the persecution of the early Christian church, Philip boldly went to Samaria to proclaim the Good News of God's healing love, transforming lives even in the face of threats and shaming.

Listen to this explanation of the readings by Fr. Brendan Curran, OP, for the Second Sunday of Easter, also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. Preached in Puerto Rico, this reflection draws inspiration from the Acts of the Apostles and the powerful ways God worked through the early Church. The homily also includes a remembrance of the recently deceased Pope Francis, offering a message of hope and continuity in faith during times of transition.

Fr. Brendan reflects on the challenging readings of Friday in the fourth week of Lent, exploring the themes of risk, persecution, and unwavering faith. He draws parallels between the Gospel's accounts of Jesus facing threats and the modern-day struggles of those persecuted for their beliefs.

Join Fr. Brendan as he explores the Gospel of John and the human experience of doubt during Lent. He reminds us that even in our uncertainties, God sends us signs and messengers of hope through the people in our lives.

Join Fr. Brendan Curran, OP, as he unpacks the powerful readings for the Third Sunday of Lent, offering insights into Exodus, 1 Corinthians, and Luke's Gospel.

The prophet Isaiah assures us that the fast that is acceptable to God is " to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free." Let us make sure that this is part of our Lenten committment.

Jesus admonished his followers that they had to pick up their cross daily and follow him. We all have good days and bad days, days when we are excited to be followers of Christ and days when we simply can't stand to pick up the cross of helping others in our seemingly hopelessly broken world. Fortunately, we can do this together, as a community.

Jesus healed a blind man, but it was difficult and took two tries. When Jesus is healing us, we need to have patience. Healing takes time.

Despite seeing Jesus multiplying the loaves and the fishes, the disciples worry that they have brought enough bread for the journey. Jesus wonders aloud if they understand at all who he is. We need to trust that God provides enough.
