Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

A Holy Family searches to find Jesus (Lk 2:41-52)

Is it a bit strange that on the feast of the holy family we hear about how Mary and  Joseph lost Jesus!? Maybe the message is that a Holy Family is not necessarily a perfect family but one who searches for, and finds, Jesus. Let's make a plan for our families to search and to  find a deeper relationship with Jesus and in that grow closer together. Happy new year.

Unopened Gifts: A Christmas Homily

Sometimes we don't open all our Christmas gifts. We have been given the greatest gift of all; let's unwrap it. 

Fill Us With Awe and Wonder this Christmas (Lk 1:39-45)

The child in the womb of Elizabeth lept for joy when the Lord came to him, and Elizabeth exclaimed who am I that the Lord should come to me? Let's pray that we will be so filled with awe and wonder at the miracle of God's incarnation that we too leap for joy! It's incredible to think that God would come to his creatures in this way! Who are we to deserve such a great blessing? Yet God loves us so much that's exactly what he has done!

Fruits of Repentance and The Holy Spirit

Rejoice! This is the message of the church today, but how can we do that in a times of trouble and illness? 

Domingo III de Adviento

Homilia del padre Carlos 

Let’s Work Together to Prepare The Way of the Lord (Lk 3:1-6)

A cry goes out to “Prepare the Way of the Lord”, it invites us to prepare to receive him a new into our hearts this Advent, but also to work together as His Church to make a way of salvation for all people. God is calling us to be a church that is healthy, loving, filled with God’s glory and beauty, inviting others to walk the path that we are on. 

The Worse Homily Ever: Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry (Lk 21:25-28, 34-36)

When I’m worried about many things, and feeling that the weight of the world is on my shoulders the last thing I want anyone to say to me is, don’t worry. It seems so trite. Yet that is what the readings are saying today, or in Padre Pio‘s words, the scriptures are saying pray, hope, and don’t worry! No matter what is happening, no matter how bad it is right now, God’s going to work it out. Worry does not help, but our prayer will.
