Send us Fan Mail “Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! You were within me, but I was outside, and it was there that I searched for you."

Send us Fan Mail In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus prays, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do” (Lk 23:34). Jesus may be too traumatized to offer forgiveness, but that doesn’t stop him from praying and asking the Father to forgive on his behalf.  I have Mass on Sunday, September 13th at St. Isidore @ 9:30 am [email protected] my latest SUBSTACK post

Send us Fan Mail Jesus has already expanded his mission to gentiles; and tradition holds that the author of the very passage we are reading was himself once a tax collector.  Treat him as you would St. Matthew? Is Matthew writing tongue-in-cheek?  I have Mass on Sunday, September 6 at St. Isidore @ 7:30 am.  live-streaming HERE.  The Calling of St. Matthew

Send us Fan Mail When we were getting ready to build our new church, we wanted to give away a portion of our new church to the poor. We partnered with Habitat for Humanity and built a house for the poor before we built our new house for the church.

Send us Fan Mail “Have mercy.” In Deuteronomy 7,  God explicitly tells the Israelites to "show no mercy.” Yet here is a Canaanite begging for just what her people were denied.  I am away this weekend. [email protected]

Send us Fan Mail Do you remember the moment, a little over 6 years ago, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Pope Francis gave a unique Urbi et Orbi blessing. He ascended the rainy steps of Saint Peter's Basilica alone, praying for the world and blessing it with the Blessed Sacrament. I have Mass on Sunday, August 9 at St. Isidore @ 7:30/9:30 am.

Send us Fan Mail Jesus places the bread into the hands of the disciples, the very ones who moments before wanted to send the crowds away. In doing so, he reshapes their imagination. They no longer see themselves as managers of scarcity but as participants in God’s abundance. I am away this weekend. [email protected]

Send us Fan Mail The second image is not about the pearl of great price; It’s about the merchant.“The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant.” (MT 13:45) I have Mass at St. Isidore on Sunday, July 26 @ 7:30/9:30 am. We are celebrating the local feast of Sts. Anne and Joachim. St. Anne is the Patroness of the Archdiocese of Detroit. This homily is for those who are following the lectionary in Ordinary Time.

Send us Fan Mail St Anne is the Patroness of the Archdiocese of Detroit. We are celebrating the memorial of Sts Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus.  Ben Sirach recalls those countless good people who have lived down through the ages but of whom nothing is known and everything forgotten. Generation after generation, they brought children into the world and handed on their traditions and will continue to do so.

Send us Fan Mail In the old Catholic Douay-Rheims Bible translation, the landowner says to them, “Suffer the weeds to grow with the wheat.” Let them grow together. The root word in the Greek that Jesus uses is the word for forgiveness.  I have Mass on Sunday, July 19 at St. Isidore @ 9:30/11:30 am at St. Andrew @ 5:00 pm [email protected]

Send us Fan Mail There is a wonderful line in Paul’s letter to the Romans, 8:28. “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God." All things, not just good things.
