Homily for January 3rd, 2021 - The Epiphany of Jesus (The arrival of the Magi)

What does Matthew’s Gospel and the arrival of the Wise Men tell us about religious and political reform?   About Jesus’ identity, and how this impacts us, 2,000 years later.

Homily for Sunday, December 27th, 2020 (An encounter at the Temple)

Mary and Joseph take baby Jesus to the temple, in Jerusalem.  There they meet Simeon and Anna who make some pretty big predictions about the life Jesus would live and the kind of person that he would become. 

As always, we are challenged to consider what that has to do with us, 2,000 years later.
