Hey there friends, it's been a while! Since the pandemic and trying to figure out my new ministry, I haven't been able to post episodes as much as I wanted to. A new part of my ministry this year is that I am the celebrant at our 9PM Mass each Wednesday for our students. So for the next few episodes I hope to bring you my homilies from those Masses.
This week the Gospel reading is from Luke 11:1-4 where Jesus teaches his disciples the "Our Father." I hope you enjoy. God Bless!
