An Eye for an Eye?
Getting even seems like a natural desire when we’ve been hurt. But Jesus teaches us a better way. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity, Mamaroneck, New York.
Anger Management
Jesus gives us great direction in his Sermon on the Mount. Keeping the commandments is essential, but with his grace we can do even better than that. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity, Mamaroneck, New York.
Salt of the Earth
Jesus reminds his disciples of their calling to be salt of the earth and light of the world. That’s our calling too. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity, Mamaroneck, New York.
Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
Mary and Joseph bring Jesus to the temple. Their dedication to the will of God inspires us. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity, Mamaroneck, New York.
Word of God Sunday
Pope Francis asked that the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time be known as “Word of God Sunday.” We reflect on the tremendous gift of the Bible. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity, Mamaroneck, New York.
Behold the Lamb of God
The priests’ words before communion come from St. John the Baptist. The second part, “Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb,” comes from the book of Revelation. Together they have a special message for us. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity Parish, Mamaroneck, New York.
The Grace of Baptism
Recalling our Lord’s baptism in the Jordan reconnects us of the grace received with our own. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity Parish, Mamaroneck, New York.
Epiphany: Bringing a gift to Jesus
The magi brought gold, frankincense and myrrh. Perhaps our new year’s resolutions could be our gift to the Christ Child. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity Parish, Mamaroneck, New York.
INRI, Christ our King on the Cross
Jesus’ cross bears the sign INRI. For Pontius Pilate, it is mocking sarcasm. But Jesus is, in fact, the King who reigns from the cross. Fr. Steven Reilly’s homily at St. Vito-Most Holy Trinity, Mamaroneck, New York.
