February 8th, 2015 Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Fr. Jerome's homily at St. Dominic's Benicia on February 8th, 2015. The rebellious angels and their mission to get others to NOT serve God. Their intention is to drive a wedge between us and God through subtle temptations. He recalls the Rolling Stone song, "Sympathy for the Devil". In 31 words Mick Jagger captures the essence of the devil. Listen and learn about the growing Right to Die movement and other social movements that have an intrinsic evil behind them, with the goal of separating us from God.



February 1st, 2015 Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Fr. Corwin's homily at St. Dominic's Benicia. Jesus taught as one having authority, he was teaching the actually Truth of God. The truth he revealed has substance and it was the mind and intention of God for us as His children. It is as fresh today as it was two thousands year ago.

January 25th, 2015 Third Sunday of Ordinary Time

Fr. David's homily at St. Dominic's discusses Jesus early ministry and the gathering of the 12 patriarchs of His Church. Jesus wanted to start with simple people, fisherman. Why? They were hardworking, courageous, and they never gave up hope. They are heroes of the Christian Church. Jesus calls us, ordinary men and women, to help him in mission and He will change us to be courageous too if we allow Him to enter into us.



January 18, 2015 Discerning God’s Will Can Be Difficult, A Pro-Life Message

Fr Jerome's message on the Anniversary of Roe Vs. Wade. Fr. Jerome shares the message of saints including Samuel, Andrew, and Pete and the difficulty they had in discerning God's will for their life, after they chose to be disciples of God. They had to discern to continue to follow Him one day at a time. They could not foresee the difficulties they would face on their journey, but without them they would have missed out on the grace and blessings. This is often the case in the vocation of parenthood, whether it is planned or unplanned. Fr. Jerome shares his past personal struggle with one of the most controversial topics of the Church and how he has come to understand through the witness and the counseling of friends and parishioners of whom are faced with the most difficult choice and were often left alone and failed by those around them. Time and time again, God redeems with love. The Church is a place of mercy and love and forgiveness. Please listen to this moving homily in it's entirety.
