Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

The Need to Pray Always for the Battle We Are In (Lk 18:1-8)

Christ sits at the right hand of God constantly interceding for His Church. Here on earth we are The Body of Christ and our prayers are still an important part of His work as they are joined with his prayer for the coming of the kingdom. We do indeed work physically, for the good of the world, and that is more understandable to us, but our greatest work is our spiritual work;  that is our prayer for the good of the world. 

Domingo XXIX Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 18:1-8)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Give God a Sacrifice of Praise! (Lk 17:11-19)

Gratitude is not a response to what happens, it is how we perceive all that happens. Gratitude is essential element of our Catholic spirituality, every Sunday we gather for Eucharist which means Thanksgiving, we come to worship praise and thank God! Our lives become then living sacrifice in praise and thanksgiving to God. 

A Mustard Seed of Faith Is All We Need (Lk 187:5-10)

It never feels like we have enough faith. It always feels like it’s a mustard seed, and not enough. However that is enough, if we act on it God will provide. Let us not be discouraged by what seems like small faith. If we all acted on the little faith we have, it would be enough to do the impossible. God wants to increase our faith, and our hope, for this he has given us his love.  So let us pray that God increases our faith, hope, and love.  

Domingo XXVII Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 17:5-10)

Homilia del padre Carlos.

Care for the Poor is a Mandatory Part of the Christian Faith (Lk 16:19-31)

Sometimes we think of caring for the poor as an option that is good to do. Today’s readings show that it is not an option it’s a command that God takes very seriously, and can be the difference between heaven and hell. But on a more positive note it’s an opportunity to serve the poor and suffering incarnate Christ. 

Domingo XXVI Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 16:19-31)

Homilia del Padre Carlos. 

The Secret to Becoming Rich and Powerful is Given toUs by Jesus (Lk 16:1-13)

It’s really true Jesus is giving us the secret to be rich. We become rich by following his example; pour ourselves out for others in humility and poverty trusting in God who becomes our power our strength and our wealth. His power strength and wealth is greater than that of any human riches. 

Domingo XXV Tiempo Ordinario

Homilia del padre Carlos.

Pray for the Grace To Recognize What God Has Done for Us. (Lk 15:1-32)

It can be easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves with others and feeling that we are not as blessed, or that we work harder, or be jealous of them, or angry at them. But when this happens it’s helpful to recognize these feelings are just a sign that we are not fully aware of all that God has really blessed us with in Christ Jesus. Praying for the grace to recognize what God has done for us helps us to see our lives, the lives of others, in the world much differently.
