Homily - Fifth Sunday of Lent B

This is the fifth out of my series in deliberate discipleship. This is the moment of decision: will you be a disciple? Will you drop your net and follow Jesus? Will you be the seed the dies in order to bear great fruit. At the end of this message join me in making your commitment to be a disciple.

Just a thought

Your comments about my homilies will help me to better proclaim the good news.  What will you do this week to become a deliberate disciple?

Homily - Fourth Sunday of Lent B

Today we look at the fourth step on the journey to deliberate discipleship.  This is the step we make when we begin to act - this is the step of spiritual seeking - asking the question, "is this the one?"

Homily - Third Sunday of Lent

Openness is the third step on the journey to deliberate discipleship. The best place to open the door is in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Here at St. John XXIII Parish we have Eucharistic Adoration every Wednesday from after the 9:00AM Mass until Benediction at 7:45PM.  During Lent I am available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation from 6-7PM. At 7:15 we pray the Stations of the Cross followed by Benediction.

Homily -Second Sunday of Lent

The second step on the way to being a deliberate disciple is curiosity. What is God doing? Who is this Jesus?

Homily - First Sunday of Lent

As we begin the season of Lent, I am beginning a new message series: being a deliberate disciple.  This series is based on the five thresholds of discipleship found in Sherry Weddle's book Forming Intentional Disciples. This book is a great Lenten read for anyone interested in become a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
