Sermon - April 12

Guest preacher Fr. Ben Eadon tells us that Lent is a season in which we prepare for an even greater feast - the 50 days of Easter. Jesus conveys that paschal joy in just 4 words: "Peace be with you." These words are so significant that we say them at every Mass.

April 5 - Easter Sermon

We have received the bet news of all, Fr. Jordan tells us. Death has died. Death is no more. Christ has defeated it. "Even the stones will cry out," Jesus said. And indeed it did when the stone rolled away on Easter morning.

April 3 - Good Friday Sermon

In his Good Friday sermon, Fr. Jordan tells us that the message of the cross is for us, the sign of our victory. For the Christian, the cross is everything - all that the Lord wants to show us, all that God does, all that God is, can be seen at the cross.

Sermon - Maundy Thursday, April 2

At the last supper, Fr. Rogers preaches, Jesus doesn't just re-interpret the Passover, He fulfills it, and reveals that He Himself is the true lamb of God given for the life of the world.

Sermon - Palm Sunday, March 29

Palm Sunday is disorienting, Fr. Jordan tells us. We begin outside with palms waving, with joy and hope. Then we come inside and everything shifts. The same voices outside who cried "Hosanna" are soon saying "Let Him be crucified." Triumph and tragedy, praise and rejection, glory and suffering.

Sermon - March 22

Today's Gospel reading is the story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead. It is a story of faith and fear, Fr. Jordan tells us. A story about waiting. Jesus tells Martha, "I am the resurrection." In other words the resurrection is not first an event, it's a person. Eternal life is not a concept. It's found in Him.

Sermon - March 15

The Christian life is a gradual process of learning to see rightly. We do not naturally see as God sees. In the Gospel reading today, Fr. Rogers tells us, Jesus restores sight to the blindman. The man's sight is restored immediately but his understanding still takes some time.

Sermon - March 8

Today's Gospel reading is about the woman at the well. It is the longest 1 on 1 conversation that Jesus has with anyone, Fr. Jordan tells us. God goes looking for this woman. He knows us, cares about us and He pursues us. He loves us even when we're not quite ready to love Him.

Sermon - March 1

"How is Lent going?" Fr. Jordan asks. He says it's not too late to start or to get back on track. Jesus asks us to walk this journey with Him, to see what love for God and love for neighbor will develop within us. The message today is to keep going. Going is an act of trust.

Sermon - Feb. 22

On this 1st Sunday of Lent, Fr. Rogers tells us that today's scriptures give us a collision of geographies: the Garden of Eden and the stark desert where Jesus is tempted. Jesus enters the wilderness which Adam and Eve once occupied to begin the work of bringing us home.

Ash Wednesday

In Fr. Jordan's Ash Wednesday sermon, he tells us that Lent is a season to grow in greater love. In Jesus' sermon on the mount, He lays out a method of us to grow in love: fasting, prayer and almsgiving.

Sermon - Feb. 15

On this Transfiguration Sunday, we read that God said, "Listen to Him." So before we do anything for Jesus, we are to listen to Him. Fr. Jordan tells us that today we are celebrating the Grand Opening of one of our new buildings. We built it because we listened to God's command - the Great Commission.
