    May 21 2024

When we receive the Holy Spirit, our lives start to look like Christ's and we are able to be witnesses of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection in our daily lives.

  • Homily: Living As Good Shepherds in a Self-Interested World | Fr. Mathias Thelen
    Apr 22 2024

    In this homily given on April 21st, 2024, Fr Mathias exhorts us to live like Jesus, our Good Shepherd, and not like the hired men who abandons the sheep when danger is near. It's not just the clergy who are called to be like Jesus in shepherding God's people; the laity too who have people entrusted their care (parents, siblings, leaders, managers, bosses, teachers, etc) are called to live as good shepherds. Contrasting the characteristics of Jesus and the self-interested hired servant, Fr Mathias leads everyone through an examination on how we're doing in caring for those God has entrusted to us. He ends with an encouragement for those who undergo trial on behalf of those they're called to care for.

  • Homily: Declaring Peace to the World | Fr. Mathias Thelen
    Apr 8 2024

    In this homily given on Divine Mercy Sunday (April 7th, 2024), Fr Mathias preaches on Jesus' declaration "peace be with you" in the Upper Room after the Resurrection. Far from being a simple greeting, the Risen Jesus is declaring that there is now peace between God and humanity through the blood of his cross. God desires this peace to the world by extending his mercy through the Church. But it's not just clergy who bring peace to the world through the sacraments; all of us can live out mercy to bring peace to the world. Father Mathias ends his homily by outlining the ABC's of God's mercy: 1) Ask for Mercy, 2) Be Mercy to Others, 3) Completely Trust in God's Mercy.
