Holy Family, Hope of the Human Family - December 31, 2023 - OLC Sunday Homily
For the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph (Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023), Fr. Alan devotes the homily to a reflection on how our Christian life has its origin in the life of the Holy Family.
God reveals the path of salvation through Christ Jesus, who came into history in the context of the Holy Family. The enemy of God and man therefore aims to erase that path of salvation by seeking to destroy the institution of marriage and family.

To Love Jesus More, Love the World Less - December 30, 2023 - OLC Christmas Octave Homily
In the homily at Our Lady's Chapel, for the Sixth Day in the Octave of Christmas (Dec. 30, 2023), Fr. Isidore expounds on the example of the prophetess, Anna, mentioned in today's Gospel, and comments on the teaching from the first reading (1 John 2:12-17): in order to love Jesus more, we must learn to love the world less.
In order to grow old gracefully and productively as exemplified by Anna in today's Gospel, we must seek Jesus through prayer and devotion, and by remaining in close contact with God we will find the strength to live our mission.

It is near...let us Rejoice ! - Dec 17 - Homily - Fr Maximilian
Fr. Maximilian M. Warnisher gives the Dec 17, 2023 homily on the 3rd Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday (from the Latin word for “rejoice”), which begins the stronger period of Advent in immediate preparation for the coming of Christ at Christmas. Today the Church looks at Christ’s precursor, St. John the Baptist, and encourages us to prepare the way for the Lord. And so it is a time of great rejoicing, that the coming of the Lord is near!
