499. Fr. Ryan Christmas Homily - What Is God Like?

Christmas answers for us the question, "what is God like?" Jesus comes not as someone who enforces rules and regulations, but as a little baby. He doesn't tower over us, but instead asks us to get down on his level.

498. Fr. Ryan Homily - Quiet, Be Still

As Advent draws to a close we hear the story of the Visitation.

475. Fr. Ryan Homily - Reclaiming Hearts

There is a hardness within our hearts from pain, suffering, not being loved well, relationships, and more that the Lord desires to break through to reclaim our hearts. Jesus is not afraid of this, but He pushes through to disarm and heal our hearts.

469. Fr. Ryan Homily - Be Open

In the Gospel, Jesus tells the man "be open," but the place that most needs to be open is not his eyes and mouth, but is the place that is caught up in isolation. He wants you to be open too. He wants to take you away from the crowds so you can be seen, loved, and open to Him.

468. Fr. Ryan Homily - He Loves Where It Hurts

What purifies us is that God approaches us in Jesus. The purification we need comes through the encounter with Christ, coming so close that he can heal, purify, and transform us. Jesus always wants to go to the very place that is imperfect, our heart, and bring His healing love.
