Homily for Ascension Sunday – Year A
Matthew 28:16-20

Fr. Bill discusses the novels of C.S. Lewis, and the priorities Jesus left with us when He Ascended into Heaven. He also addresses the importance of Creation and the Eschaton in relation to those priorities as we await, hope in and expect the eventual Return of Jesus at the End of Time.

ZACCHAEUS STANDS HIS GROUND

Defending the Faith against Anti-Christian Hatred and Bigotry

Homily for the 31st Sunday of the Year – C
—–
Luke 19:1-10

Zacchaeus is more than a Little Man who Climbed a Tree to see Jesus. He is a Hated Tax Collector Who Stood His Ground against the Prejudices and Hatred the People had towards him. Fr. Bill preaches about how Zacchaeus Stood His Ground, Defended Himself against those who Hated Him, and in so doing, Defended Jesus who asked Hospitality from Him.
