Sunday, September 17th, 2017 Fr. Charles from Nigeria
Daily Decisions Determine Destiny!
Fr. Charles Onwordi, OP visits St. Dominic’s in Benicia from Nigeria and preaches on forgiveness in the face of persecution and trusting God. The moment we seek revenge we become aggressors and God tells us “vengeance is mine”. But how do we do this when in the face of such injustice, it is a constant struggle to commit to the 4 Ds of Love.
Sunday, September 10th, 2017 Admonish the Sinner
How can admonishing another persons sin be an act of Mercy? Br. Christopher Wetzel, O.P. preaches at St. Dominic’s on the Spiritual Act of Mercy that is Admonishing The Sinner.
While it may be uncomfortable for both parties to have someone point out our sins, the alternative leads us to continue on a path away from God. We often confirm ourselves when we repeat a sin with justification and other lies, this leads to continued suffering and damage rather than the freedom of forgiveness and grace. Listen and reflect.

Deacon Errol Kissinger preaches on the 22nd Sunday of Ordinary timeabout the trans-formative ability of suffering and how our Catholic faith solves this challenge.

Fr. Jerome Cudden, OP preaches on the 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time at St. Dominic’s Benicia. The Gospel reading asking the disciples who others say that he is, and then asking them directly who they say that he is? How do we know that Jesus is the Christ. He reveals this over time in his words, miracles, and teachings. Listen and learn.
Sunday, August 20th, 2017 Jesus and The Canaanite Woman
Fr. Jerome Cudden, O.P. preaches about Jesus’ encounter with the Canaanite woman, she calls out to Jesus as the Son of David. Her faith in Jesus as the Messiah becomes so clear, even though it is still not clear for his own Jewish people. What can we learn about faith from Jesus’ exchange with this outsider?
Sunday, August 13th, 2017 Solemnity of Saint Dominic (Mass on the Grass)
Fr. Jerome Cudden, OP preaches about Saint Dominic at the annual celebration of our patron saint. In this homily Fr. Jerome encourages us to follow in Saint Dominic’s tradition and spend more time in personal prayer building our relationship with God and then extending the fruits of that time spent in prayer by reaching out to speak with our neighbors, friends and family and work to share the truth of our Catholic Faith.
The Transfiguration (Fr. David) Sunday, August 6th, 2017
Fr. David Farrugia, OP preaches on the significance of the spiritual mountaintop of the Transfiguration. The transfiguration gives us the why of suffering and the courage to keep walking with Jesus so that we may share in his Glory. It also shows the importance of sharing this experience, like we do every Sunday. Go and share the hope and trust that Jesus offers.
