Homilies Of Father Matt Pennington

Let it go

Last is first, first is last. How unpredictable incidents can ruin your day. Finding peace in perspective.

What should you do when there is a conflict between choosing between time with God and time with your family or your job?

Knock and the door will be opened. Prayer

Finding the reason for your existence, how the church views our purpose, and pursuing true happiness. A story of a couple who adopts two siblings from another country. What the Catechism has to say.

Clinging to the Past The Second Vatican Council

Hear the voice of God. Use your Gifts.

Give to the departed eternal rest... Do we just shrug and accept these circumstances we are in, or what should we do? Discussion of our times, access to weapons, and what you can do as a child of God to access the God-Power. Perseverance. Prayer

How does God communicate with us? It may be in ways you are not expecting.

Jesus appears to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. When we can see Jesus in others, we can learn to listen and even compromise.

How does the frame you carry influence your life experiences? Jesus reframed death. You can choose your frame. Choosing JOY

The incident at the 2022 Academy Awards; how our simmering anger that lies within influences our actions. Is it good to be angry? How the crowd reacted to the condemnation of Jesus. What history shows us about anger and how it destroys us today.

Tending and nurturing the tree to produce good fruit. You are the tree! Co-existing with each other would bring the world closer to peace.

Lent, a time of self-reflection and change.

Entering the season of Lent. Admitting your mistakes.

Remembering that God is with you in all of life's challenges.

Are your political beliefs and ideology causing hostility and are they more important than your family, peace, and spirituality?

Miracle at the Wedding at Cana inspires the question: Is my prayer too insignificant for God to grant?

Visionaries, like Bob Iger of Disney, seem to predict human behavior. Jesus was the ultimate visionary.

Manifesting joy requires seeking happiness through connecting with God.
