    Mar 29 2025

    Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Lent.

    To look like Jesus, we must learn how to live in the Presence of the Father.

    When it comes to our relationship with the Father, too often it is marked by hiding our hearts or avoiding His gaze. But we must learn how to live like Jesus, who remained in the Father's Presence at all times and with profound trust.

    Mass Readings from March 30, 2025: Joshua 5:9, 10-12 Psalm 34:2-72 Corinthians 5:17-21

  • 3/23/25 The Place of the Way: The Valley
    Mar 22 2025

    Homily from the Third Sunday of Lent.

    We all want peak moments, but growth happens in the Valley.

    Why do we walk through valleys? What good is life in the valley? Is it only a negative? Is it always a punishment from God? Or could the valley be necessary?

    Mass Readings from March 23, 2025: Exodus 3:1-8, 13-15 Psalm 103: 1-4, 6-8, 111 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12

    Luke 13:1-9

    Mar 15 2025

    Homily from the Second Sunday of Lent.

    A big life is a series of small crossroads.

    Life happens at the crossroads. Life is also a series of small crossroads that might seem insignificant, but add up to a life of beauty and meaning...or a life potentially wasted.

    Mass Readings from March 16, 2025: Genesis 15:5-12, 17-18 Psalms 27:1, 7-9, 13-14Philippians 3:17—4:1

Homily Helps

Thank you Fr Mike for the effort you make to give a high quality homily with good production quality too. Your pearl was a launching point for me this weekend when I was stuck, not sure what to preach on.

Father Mike FTW (for the win)

I hope Father Mike hears or reads these reviews. I started with Bible in a Year on 1/01/23 and now have three of his podcasts in my library. He has changed everything about my relationship with God and my view of the Bible. I have been up and down with God for my whole life, mostly down. I have found new hope, and yes, even LOVE for God the Father now. I have been humbled and am working my way into a fulfilling and loving relationship with the Almighty, thanks to the care of Father Mike. I am grateful.
