Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

What Does it Mean to Die to Self? (Lk 14:25-33)

Last week's Holy from Fr. Paul. Sorry about the delay. 

How Can a Loving God Send Anyone to Hell? (Lk 13:22-30)

Jesus reveals in the scripture today that there is heaven and hell and final judgment. This is hard for many people today as we ponder how can a loving God send people to hell? God wants no one to go to hell, that's why he sent his son to save us. 

Domingo XXI (Lk 13:22-30)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Jesus Came to Divide! What? (Lk 12:49)

The Gospel today is very challenging  and confusing! Jesus says he did not come to bring peace but division to divide families. What? Especially spoken today in the world with much division, what does Jesus mean? There is a division that comes from God and there is a division that comes from the world the challenge for us is to distinguish between the two, and the Gospel, especially the good news for the poor, can be our metric for discernment.  

Domingo XX (Lk 12:49-53)

Homilia del padre Carlos 

God Wants a Relationship with You (Lk 10:38-42)

A few stories to help understand what is God's desire for us. In all our busyness we can miss the point of life. 

Domingo XVI (Lk 10:38-42)

Homilia del padre Carlos

The Good Samaritan: If Not for the Grace of God, There Go I (Lk 10:25-37)

Like the priest and the Levite we can find laws and good reasons to treat one another bad badly and not show compassion and mercy. Jesus calls us to not miss the forest because of the trees. Our laws are meant to help us live together in a loving community. It's helpful to look at those we see as our enemies, or the ones deserving mistreatment, and realize that if not for the grace of God there too go I. 

Domingo XV (Lk 10:25-37)

Homilia del padre Carlos 

Simple and Practical Ways to Preach the Gospel (Lk 10:1-12)

We have been told before that we are supposed to proclaim the Gospel, all of us not just the professionally trained. But we always think that is beyond our capacity. In this homily Fr. Paul shares some ways that anyone can share the faith and preach the Gospel.
