This Easter season, we continue to rejoice! Jesus continues to be the light in our lives. Let's learn more about why.

Do Not Take Your Faith for Granted: Why?

Monsignor Watkins reflects on Peter's betrayal of Jesus, Jesus' eternal forgiveness, as well as Thomas' need to see his real injuries to believe. At Mass we remember Jesus' sign of peace and we believe, without seeing, in the real body and blood of Christ every Sunday. Through Jesus wounds we remember his sacrifice.

Will you follow Jesus, even amidst persecution?

"Jesus wept" is the shortest verse in the English Bible, but it contains a lot of depth. Listen to Fr. Ivan's homily today to find out why.

Today's advice: Weep like Jesus wept.

Look at our actions in light of "The" Light.

Msgr. Watkins speaks about the role of charity and alms-giving and the powerful work done by the Annual Appeal during the Lenten season.

This is part of a series on the Confiteor, which begins with "I confess" during the Catholic Mass. This week's Lenten focus: Guard your thoughts.

Msgr. Watkins speaks on Lent's power to train our hearts after Christ and to respond to Satan's temptations with Christ's powerful, "No".

What should we remember about this week's Gospel, a continuation of the Sermon on the Mount? Abide by love, not "the law."

Ds doubt that Jesus desires your happiness? That His “Way” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be? This homily podcast is for you.

Amidst a snowy Washington in a chaotic world, Msgr. Watkins keeps it simple and brief: do not be distressed --- when Christ calls, don't dither, follow him.
