A homily for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, June 7, 2020
Ex 34:4b-6, 8-9, 2 Cor 13:11-13, Jn 3:16-18
We bless ourselves in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
And then we lock it in with a solid “Amen.” “It is so.” “Truly.”
We baptize this way. Confirm this way. The Trinitarian way.
A homily for the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord, May 24, 2020
Acts 1:1-11, Eph 1:17-23, Mt 28:16-20
As they were looking on,
he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going,
suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
They said, “Men of Galilee,
why are you standing there looking at the sky?
This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven
will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”
Let’s join the friends of Jesus as they stood together that day in the First Century A.D., and for a moment let’s assume we have the same knowledge of science and other academic disciplines that they did.
