Con el inicio del Tiempo Ordinario, reflexionamos sobre el llamado central de la vida cristiana: Caminar en la Luz, Vivir en Santidad y Contemplar a Dios. A la luz de las Escrituras, esta homilía invita a reconocer que estamos llamados a ser luz en lo cotidiano, a vivir como pueblo santo apartado para los planes de Dios y a fijar nuestra mirada en Jesús, el Cordero de Dios. Al contemplarlo, somos transformados: nos hacemos luz y nos hacemos santos. Todo esto culmina en la Eucaristía, donde Cristo nos ilumina y nos envía a reflejar su amor en nuestra vida diaria.

As the Church enters Ordinary Time, this homily reflects on the life and ministry of Jesus and our call as disciples. Centered on the theme “Be Light, Be Holy, Behold the Lamb of God,” the message invites believers to live their faith in everyday ways—at home, at work, and even on the road. Drawing from Isaiah, St. Paul, and the Gospel of John, the homily explores what it means to be light to the world, to be holy and set apart for God’s purposes, and to fix our gaze on Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. The reflection concludes by connecting these themes to Holy Communion, where encountering Christ transforms us to live as light and holiness in the world.

En este episodio celebramos el Domingo de Nombres, una invitación mensual a reconocernos por nombre y a orar unos por otros. Escuchamos un testimonio sobre Alpha, una experiencia de 11 semanas para explorar la fe cristiana en un ambiente de comida, conversación y comunidad, y se hace una última invitación a inscribirse.

A la luz de la Epifanía del Señor, reflexionamos sobre los Reyes Magos como buscadores guiados por la estrella hacia Jesús, la Luz verdadera. A través de la Palabra de Dios y del Evangelio, se nos anima a dejar que Cristo sea nuestra luz en medio de la oscuridad del mundo, y a permitir que esa luz brille en nosotros para los demás. Un mensaje de esperanza, búsqueda y encuentro con Jesús.

On this Feast of the Epiphany, we celebrate Known by Name Weekend, a reminder that faith begins with relationship—learning one another’s names and praying for one another. We also hear a powerful Alpha testimony and extend a final invitation to register for Alpha, an 11-week experience designed for those who are seeking, curious, or longing for something more.

Drawing from the story of the Magi, this homily reflects on how Jesus is the true light who guides all who are searching—insiders and outsiders alike. In a world often marked by darkness, we are invited to let Christ be our guiding light and to allow His light to shine through us for the sake of others.

“Rise up in splendor… your light has come.” May Christ be our light today and always.

On New Year’s Day, we celebrate three profound realities: the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God; the Octave Day of Christmas; and the beginning of a New Year. Fr. Martin reflects on how these three celebrations invite us into three simple but powerful spiritual resolutions for 2026: renewing our devotion to Mary through the Rosary, drawing closer to Jesus through Eucharistic Adoration, and taking a step of faith by participating in—or inviting someone to—Alpha. This homily offers a hopeful and practical way to begin the New Year rooted in prayer, presence, and mission.

On the Feast of the Holy Family, we reflect on the three dreams of Saint Joseph and how his attentiveness to God protected and guided his family. Because of Joseph’s dreams, Jesus was able to grow in wisdom, age, and grace, and fulfill God’s plan of salvation.

Inspired by Joseph, we are invited to reflect on our own dreams for our families. Scripture calls us to honor our parents, to live with compassion, kindness, humility, forgiveness, and love, and to let the peace of Christ reign in our homes.

Even amid instability, division, or hardship, God desires families marked by love, reconciliation, peace, and gratitude. Today, we bring our dreams for our families to the Lord, trusting Him to guide and bless them.

En la Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia, reflexionamos sobre los sueños de San José y cómo, al escuchar la voz de Dios, protegió y guió a su familia. Inspirados por su ejemplo, somos invitados a preguntarnos cuáles son nuestros sueños para nuestras propias familias.

La Palabra de Dios nos llama a honrar a los padres, a vivir la compasión, el perdón y el amor, y a dejar que la paz de Cristo reine en nuestros hogares. Aun en medio de la inestabilidad y las dificultades, Dios sigue acompañando a nuestras familias.

Hoy presentamos al Señor nuestros sueños de unidad, reconciliación, amor y paz, confiando en que Él sigue obrando en nuestras familias.

In this Christmas homily, we celebrate the joy of homecoming. Christmas is a season when families gather, hearts soften, and many find themselves returning to church—perhaps even returning home to God. In the midst of all these homecomings, we reflect on the greatest homecoming of all: Jesus Christ entering our world.

Drawing from the Gospels of John and Luke and the prophecy of Isaiah, we remember that the Word became flesh, that a child has been born for us, and that Jesus—Emmanuel, God with us—made His home among us. This reflection invites us to consider how we come to Christmas this year: whether joyful, weary, grieving, or searching.

Through prayer, meditation, and an imaginative encounter with the Nativity, we are invited to open our hearts and allow Jesus to be born anew within us. No matter our past year or our present struggles, Christ desires to come home to our hearts and remind us that we are not alone.

The homily concludes with Silent Night and an invitation to continue the journey of faith through Alpha, a welcoming space to explore life’s big questions, faith, purpose, and meaning.
