Daily Homilies

Father Luke reflects on Saint Jerome and his famous teaching, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” As we grow in our knowledge of Scripture, we come to know Christ more deeply and recognize how He is at the center of salvation history. Father Luke also reminds us that conversion is an ongoing journey. Even when we are faithfully following God, there are still areas of our lives that need to be given more fully to Christ. When we put God first, His love can transform how we live, think, and love others. #FatherLuke #FatherLukeMaryFletcher #SaintJerome #StJerome #PutGodFirst #SpiritualGrowth #FollowingJesus #JesusChrist #DailyMass #CatholicChurch #BlueArmyShrine

The archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael remind us of God’s care and the mysterious help He gives through the angels. This homily explains their roles, how they serve God, and how we can turn to them for protection, guidance, healing, and help in worship.

The Book of Job raises one of life’s deepest questions: why do good people suffer? This homily points to Jesus, who entered into our suffering and showed us that our pain can be united to Him. Through the examples of Job and Saint Therese of Lisieux, we are reminded to approach God with humility, childlike trust, and the courage to offer Him even our suffering.

Jesus calls us to go beyond simply saying the right things and to live with humility, repentance, and a sincere heart. This homily reflects on the two sons in the Gospel and reminds us that what matters is not just what we say, but how we respond to God and live out His will. Even when we fall short, we can turn back to God and trust in His mercy. The cross reminds us that humility and obedience lead to the resurrection.

When life feels difficult, confusing, or like a storm, we may not understand what God is doing. Father Luke reminds us that we can continue to trust God even when our feelings and circumstances are difficult. Through the Psalms, Scripture, and the witness of the saints, we are encouraged to remain connected to God in prayer, surrender, and trust, knowing that He is always at work.
