Sermon - Feb. 8

What our Lord sees and notices is, of course, what we should see and notice. In today's Gospel, Fr. Jordan tells us, Jesus sees the crowds and His response is compassion. They are sheep without a shepherd and are vulnerable. This is not a critique of the people but of the leadership.

Sermon - Feb. 2

Fr. Rogers preaches today on the Beatitudes, today's Gospel reading. In the Beatitudes, Jesus goes after the inner workings of our hearts. They are a key for living in reality with Christ, not just living a happy life.

Sermon - Jan. 18

John the Baptist points to Jesus and says "He is greater than I am," says Fr. Jordan. This type of humility is remarkable and all of us are invited to say the same thing.

Sermon - Jan. 11

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of Christ, when we renew our baptismal vows. Fr. Jordan tells us that the vows of Holy Baptism tell us who we are and what our lives as Christians are supposed to be about. What is the purpose of our life? To love the Lord and our neighbor.

Sermon - Jan. 4

Today is Epiphany Sunday, when we remember the wise men who traveled far to worship the Christ child. Fr. Jordan preaches that the Magi remind us that God has come in the person of Jesus Christ for everyone not just a small group of people. In Jesus, God has invited all people into a relationship with Him.

Sermon - Dec. 28

On the First Sunday of Christmas, Fr. Rogers preaches on the Gospel reading, the opening of the Gospel of John. It is very different from the other Gospels that open with the nativity. John calls our attention not to the setting of Christ's birth, but to its meaning. Through Christ's birth, God speaks to us.

Sermon - Christmas Eve

So many of us want to go big at Christmas, Fr. Jordan tells us, but this is the opposite of what God did. Instead, God went small. A poor man, a teenage mother and a baby laid in a manger. God is showing us that humility is what makes Christian lives possible.

Sermon - Dec. 21

Fr. Jordan preaches on today's Gospel. We meet Joseph when his entire world is unraveling, when his bride to be is found to be with child. But an angel comes to him and says, "Do not fear." Obedience will put Joseph right at the center of God's saving work.

Sermon - Dec. 14

Fr. Jordan preaches today on the Gospel reading about John the Baptist, who wants his followers to stop following him and to start following Jesus. They ask Jesus if He is the one. Our Lord's response may not be what you expect.

Sermon - Dec. 7

On this 2nd Sunday of Advent, Fr. Jordan talks about readiness so that we can see the signs that are right in front of us. The Church highlights watchfulness. The message is that God is at work in our lives. We just have to slow down to see Him in the present moment.

Sermon - Nov. 30

On the First Sunday of Advent, Fr. Rogers preaches that Advent does not begin by pointing us to the manger but points our attention to the Son of God unveiled. He means to awaken us and He trains us to keep watch in small ways now.

Sermon - Nov. 23

Today is the Feast of Christ the King, the proclamation that Jesus is our King. Fr. Jordan tells us that the Gospel doesn't give us a king in royal robes. It gives us a king who is on the cross, one who gives His life for the life of the world.
