July 23, 2017, Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Homily by Fr. Joseph Pearce, C.O. Wisdom tells us that God is kind and merciful. Kindness is the foundation of God's justice. So if we are to be God-like, then we need to be kind. Sometimes it may be hard to be kind to, like the person who cuts us off, or the person who doesn't smell very good. Father tells us that one way of being kind is to control our tongue. Also, control of our eyes is how we can be kind. Being envious of another's possession can be unkind. Also, controlling our temper is a mode of kindness. We can't count on humans for justice, but God does give justice, and his foundation of justice is kindness. 2017 First Communion May 28, 2017, Ascension Sunday Homily by Father Joseph Pearce, CO Father tells us about the apostles came up on the mountain as Jesus asked them to, and they worshipped, but doubted. He tells us that it is understandable that we too may have doubts at times. Despite that God still accepts us as we were, even with our doubts. Father even shared his own personal testimony of him doubting if God even listened to him. Yet God did not strike him down, and he even became one of His priests. He tells us that God never stops loving us. 2017 First Communion May 21, 2017, Sixth Sunday of Easter Homily by Father Joseph Pearce, CO Father focused on the children and the great and wonderful thing they were about to do for the first time. He told them they were being "sanctified", or made holy by their receiving Holy Communion. He spoke about the sacrament of reconciliation, and about our conscience. He told us the other way of being made holy is by loving one another. Also, you can see a web gallery of pictures of the 1st Communion by clicking here.
