June 25, 2017.mp3 We move into the longer season of Ordinary Time. Fr. Gerry reflects on the rich Readings of this day — how deeply God knows and loves each one of us & growing our personal relationship with Him. Jesus addresses the disciples and their fear. He assures them to trust Him and know He is with us and guides us. Our number one vocation is who we are in Jesus Christ.

June 18, 2017.mp3 Today we celebrate Corpus Christi. Fr. Gerry encourages us to take some time to prayerfully read through the Sequence — Lauda Sion. We have just completed the 40 days of Lent, the 40 days of celebrating Easter, and 40 hours of Adoration. Today's Gospel focuses on the Lord's gift of His Most Holy Body and Blood. It propels us to ask ourselves, "What do I believe about Eucharist? What draws me to come each week? How does it change me?" — JN 6:51-58

June 11, 2017 — We do not have a recording of Fr. Bernie Farrell's homily on June 11th.
He delivered a beautiful reflection on the Most Holy Trinity stating that no one ever has or ever will understand the mystery of the Trinity. However, we can understand God our Father — He created us and He loves us. Jesus our Brother — He gave His life for us, He is our companion, and He is the way. The Holy Spirit — is our gift to guide and lead us.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus says: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
I will be honest—while these words can sound comforting, there were times when I thought them also a bit of a joke—the not-so-funny kind. What part of “take up your cross daily” is restful? Or “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect?” Or “go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature?” Saint resumes are rarely short.
Yet over the years, I’ve come to see what I could not earlier: the yoke is the rest. To allow ourselves to be yoked to Jesus—to labor only with Him and for Him—is the ultimate rest. What does this mean? ... See MoreSee Less

She prophetically incarnated the intrinsic unity between love of God and love of neighbor. She was clear where that synthesis came from: living a truly Eucharistic life.
“The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth.”
She begged the archbishop, “One thing I request of you, Your Grace, is to give us all the spiritual help we need. If we have Our Lord in the midst of us, with daily Mass and Holy Communion, I fear nothing for the sisters nor myself. He will look after us. But without him I cannot be. I am helpless.”
“People ask,” she confessed, “Where do the sisters get the joy and the energy to do what they are doing?” She replied, “The Eucharist.” At the 1976 Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia, she elaborated on that source of power: “To be able to live this life … we need our life to be woven with the Eucharist. That’s why we begin our day with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. With him, we go forward.”
She spoke of the benefits: “Nowhere on earth are we more welcomed or loved than by Jesus in Eucharist. When you look at the crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you. When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now."
