Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

The Good News Has Some Bad News (Mt 16:21-27)

The news of our salvation in  Jesus Christ is Good News! It fills us with that fire of God's love in our hearts that drives on giving us strength and comfort in our journey. But in this sinful world, we will encounter difficulties and trials. Jesus wants to warn us today that to be his Disciple is difficult, so let's lean on His strength and the comfort of knowing that we are with Him.  When we suffer with Him we will also share also in His victory and resurrection. 

The Secret of Life: Five Parables About The Wisdom of God (Mt 13:44-52)

Five Parables about wisdom. Three from Jesus and two additional ones, all teaching the secret of life; find something greater than this world to live for and to become who God created us to be. 

Domingo XVII Homilia (Mt 13:44-52)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Life is a Paradox: To Live Fully is to Die to Self and Live for God (Mt 37-42)

In surrendering to God, what seems like a Sacrifice is rather a blessing. We surrender our will to God, dying to self will, to be more fully alive both in this life, and in the life to come. 

Domingo XIII Tiempo Ordinario (Mt 10:37-42)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

The Power of One Person: For Good or Evil (Mt 10:26-33)

Saint Paul tells us that through one person, sin entered the world, and that sin spread until all had sinned. If one person can have such power in a negative way, one person doing good can also have great power. Jesus Christ is of course, that one person, but we too are that one person as He is asking us now to stand by him and his mission, so that at our judgment, he may stand by us and present us to the Father. 

Domingo XII (Mt 10:26-33)

Homilia del Padre Carlos. 

Do You Think of Yourself as a Priest? Our Common Priesthood (Mt 9:36-10:8)

The church is the new Israel for filling the promise that God would make Israel into a holy nation nation of Priests.  We don’t think of ourselves much as priests, but the concept of exercising our beautiful priesthood every day is beautiful and helpful. 

Domingo XI Tiempo Ordinario (Mt 9:36-10:8)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Feast of Corpus Christi: The Eucharist, Why and How (Jn 6:51-58)

The Eucharist is a source and summit of our faith. It’s both a noun and a verb. It is an exchange between God and humanity. We receive salvation through the presence of Christ in us being made one with Him, and we join ourselves to the perfect sacrifice of Christ, making of us and acceptable offering to God.
