Too Much Fr. Matt: Homilies – too much fr. matt

To you I have entrusted my cause

Let tomorrow worry about itself.

We all are called to holiness and to mission, because we are members of the priesthood of the baptized.

In the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, God provides the sacrifice by transforming ordinary bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

If we love God, he promises that he will love us and reveal himself to us. So how do we love God?

We belong to Christ, not to anyone or anything else. If we follow him, we will assist him in building his kingdom on this earth.

After the frantic activity of Christmas Eve and birth of Christ, we take a breath and reflect.

We await our Savior, knowing that he will fill our hearts with hope.

Vigil Mass Readings: Isaiah 62:1-5; Psalm 89; Acts 13:16-17, 22-25; Matthew 1:1-25

God wants everything. Every person we love, every thing we have, must come after him, because He is the one who gives eternal life.
