Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

Before we Change the World, Let us First Allow God to Shape Our Hearts. (Lk 6:39-45) (8 OT)

Jesus is concluding his sermon on the plain in Luke's Gospel where he is laying out the Gospel Values which are meant to shape the world. But before we transform the world, we must allow our hearts to be transformed by the Holy Spirit into Christ-likeness.

Resist Evil in Ways that Bring It Into the Light (Lk 6:27-38) (7 OT)

Jesus commands that we love our enemies, forgive those who wrong us, give to all who ask, and turn the other cheek.  Does he really expect us to do this? Does he really think it will work? Well, He still commands it, and yes it did work, sometimes we never see the success, but we are still commanded to do it.

Blessed Are Those Who Lose the Super Bowl! (Lk 6:17,20-26)

Searching for a contemporary example of how to explain the Beatitudes, I offer this not to be funny, but seriously! The Beatitudes are meant to show us God views the world different than those who are of the world view it. It is almost the exact opposite. God wants to give us Eternal Bliss, beatitude, that changes how we see the world and what we think is important, and how we act. With God's Beatitudes, we are never overwhelmed by life's difficulties, nor are we complacent with the sufferings of others.

Jesus Invites Us to Go Deeper: Will We Take the Risk? (Lk 5:1-11) (5 OT)

Becoming a disciple is not done in an instant, but is a long journey of getting to know and trust Jesus until one day we have a life changing encounter with the living God. This gives us D-CAMP! Divine Companionship, Assistance, Meaning and Purpose. Will you allow Jesus to come into your boat and direct your journey so that you may be Abundant and have His D-CAMP?

What Killed Jesus is Still Present Today. Let us not Fall for Satan’s Old Tactics (Lk 4:21-30) (4 OT)

Jesus came to fight and establish a kingdom. But not against human enemies, and not the Kingdom of Israel, but against Evil and to establish the Church. The tactic of the enemy is to lie and accuse, thus creating hate among enemies. We have no human enemy in Christ, we are all God's Children, let us not fall for Satan's age old tactics. Let us be members of His Kingdom, united in His Body, and fight using the most powerful weapon of Love.
