Each of us are anointed to carry on the mission of salvation in our world today. Christ beckons us to adapt and change for the sake of mission. We do not do this alone---Christ gives us the Holy Spirit and we do this together. Will we say yes?

This weekend we return to Ordinary Time but not an ordinary Gospel. We visit a wedding feast in Cana from the Gospel of John--the first miracle of this Gospel. Jesus makes what is ordinary extraordinary. He can do this with our lives too!! Mary guides us as she tells the servants and each of us--"Do whatever he tells you!"

This weekend we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord which is not just about Jesus, but also about us! We receive the gift of the Holy Spirit at our baptism but also the fire of God's love to help transform the world. Do we truly understand the gift, opportunity and obligation we have to share Christ's love with perseverance, endurance and zeal? I think this feast helps us realize this more. May we always be humble like St. John the Baptist sharing the Good News!!

My Words Will Never Pass Away - Homily #3

Fr. John concludes this message series reminding us that real change calls us to leverage and not reject what fades or is temporary. We live in this world but can choose to utilize what is around us and the opportunities we have to bring Christ to our hearts and to others. Fr. John even talks about our smart phones as a way to do this. Real conversion happens not only in our hearts, but in our actions.

St. John the Baptist answers the question posed to him---What are we to do? Making straight the pathways of the Lord can only take place when we live and share the Good News with others---especially those in need. Advent is a time to reset and change lanes---living our lives better and differently. What is John the Baptist telling us to do today?
