Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

Domingo XIII Tiempo Ordinario (Mk 5:21-43)

Homiia del padre Carlos.

When We Cry Out to God Amidst our Storms; and God is Silent (Mk 4:35-31) (12 OT)

Why does not God hear my prayer and command the storms of my life to be still?  The disciples in the boat had to awaken Jesus, is Jesus sleeping? Are there other reasons why he might not answer me and help end these troubled times we are in?  This homily shows the three reasons why we may not seem to think Jesus is present or that he cares about us. 1) Sometimes our storms are caused by our own doing; we need to be the answer to our prayer. 2) Sometimes we've fallen away from God giving evil a foothold. 3) Sometimes, like Job, we get no answer, but in faith we must trust He is doing something through our suffering that we may not yet understand. 

Homilia XII Tiempo Ordinario (Mk 4:35-41)

Homilia del Padre Carlos.

Pray, Hope and Don't Worry! (Mk 4:26-34)

Sometimes we work too hard! Sometimes we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Jesus is the savior, not us. We are called to do our Best and let God do the Rest. We are called to be faithful, not success. As St. Padre Pio says; "Pray, Hope and Don't Worry." God can write straight with crooked lines, God can make all things work for the good of the Kingdom (Rm 8:28), the coming of the Kingdom is in God's hands; we do our best and let God do the rest!

Domingo XI Tiempo Ordinario (Mk 4:26-34)

The Source and Summit of Our Faith: Jesus or the Eucharist? His True Presence or only Symbolic? (Mk 14:12-16, 22-26) (10 OT)

To the modern mind, not steeped in the Scripture and Tradition of the Church, the Catholic belief in the True Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is so hard to believe, because it does not make sense. But to even the modern mind, when aware of the Scripture and Tradition of the Church, it is easier to accept Jesus' True Presence precisely because it DOES make so much sense!

Corpus Christi (Mk 14:12-16, 22-26)

Homilia del Padre Carlos.

The Good News of the Gospel in an Elevator (Mt 28:16-20) (9 OT)

Have you ever heard of a God who did all this for us? What is the Good News simply explained? It is that we were once lost and now found. Once alone now loved and a member of God's family, filled with His riches; Faith, Hope, Love, the Holy Spirit and eternal life. This is the Good News and we can (and are asked by God) to share it with others.  But how?

Santisima Trinidad (Mt 28:16-20)

Homilia del Padre Carlos.

Why Talk About Pentecost 2,000 Ago, when We Can Have One Today? (Jn 20:19-23) (7 ET)

The Holy Spirit is always with us. It is the Power of God. It is the Promise of God. It realizes the Words Spoken when it is invoked. Let us ask for the Holy Spirit to Come Today, with It's Gifts, and let's follow It's inspirations everyday.
