Homily For Christmas Day - 2014 December 24, 2014 by Rev. Aaron Damboise Welcome and Merry Christmas! Perhaps you unprotected the formalism lighting of the National Christmas Tree. This is what the president said well-nigh Christmas: "It's the story of hope –- the lineage of a singular child into the simplest of circumstances – a child who would grow up to live a life of humility, and kindness, and compassion; who traveled with a message of empathy and understanding; who taught us to superintendency for the poor, and the marginalized, and those who are variegated from ourselves.

Homily for the First Week of Advent - Preparing Our Hearts December 3, 2014 by Rev. Aaron Damboise Hello, everyone! Welcome to Advent. This week, I uncork a new homily series, Preparing Our Hearts. For what are we preparing our hearts? The coming of Jesus, of course. Let us uncork with a question: what is the heart? Its’ increasingly than just a muscle that pumps thoroughbred through the body. Indeed, the heart is the “inner core” of the body. Let me requite you an example. This comes from an mart of reports during the starchy war.

Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica - Solidarity, Part 2 November 9, 2014 by Rev. Aaron Damboise Last week, I began a new homily series entitled Solidarity.
