By now, you have discovered that I am sharing the daily live feed Mass with the rector of the Cathedral and one of our auxiliary bishops. I will normally take the Tuesday, Friday and Sunday Masses. In the readings today, (John 10) Jesus teaches that he and the Father are Read more…
We are clearly created for relationship with God! Today’s readings give many insights how God continues to accompany us by the presence of the Risen Jesus. Rather than recreate the homily here, I invite you to please watch today’s Mass and listen to today’s homily below. Hang in there! May Read more…
