Recorded Homilies at St. Dominic’s

 

March 2017

Sunday, March 12th, 2017 The Transfiguration

Fr. Jerome Cudden, O.P. preaches about the Transfiguration of our Lord. When we trust God, we ourselves can be transformed into what God is calling us to do and become on his behalf.  We can understand this when we look at Moses and Peter’s transformation as they came to know and trust God. God doesn’t choose perfect people, but his love is Perfect in us.



Sunday, March 5th, 2017 Deacon Errol on finding ourselves in the Desert

The desert is the place we are called to truly encounter ourselves in order for us to have an authentic experience of God. What can we learn from Jesus’ time in the desert about facing our own demons?



Sunday, March 5th, 2017 Fr. David on Temptation

How can we stand up to the powers of evil in this world that work to thwart God’s masterpiece of the human person to serve in His plan. In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us what he went through so that we know that we can resist as well with his grace. We are called to go on a journey during Lent in search of God within ourselves.
