In this powerful homily, we reflect on the moral law written in our hearts and revealed in Scripture. We are reminded of the Blessed Mother’s call at Fatima to make reparation for sins through the devotion of the First Saturdays. With stories of her apparitions and the message of her Immaculate Heart, we are invited to respond with love, repentance, and trust in God’s mercy. A moving reminder that through the Eucharist, the Rosary, and a life of conversion, we can help bring peace to the world and healing to hearts.

In this heartfelt homily, Fr. Luke reflects on the beauty and power of living in the light of Christ. Sharing stories from his time as a friar, a touching baptism, and a visit to the Holy Land, he reminds us that our lives are a gift meant to be lived with integrity, faith, and spiritual readiness. With warmth and humor, Fr. Luke invites us to keep the flame of faith burning brightly and to walk as children of the light, trusting in God’s mercy and truth.

Fr. Joshua Caswell speaks from the heart, encouraging us to stay close to God even when life gets hard. With stories of the Blessed Mother, St. Benedict, and the little shepherds of Fatima, he reminds us that we’re not here by accident. God has called us to be gentle, faithful, and strong, trusting in His love and peace.

Fr. Luke reminds us through Joseph’s story that God can bring good even out of our most painful and confusing moments. He shares the image of Padre Pio as a child, looking up at his grandmother’s tangled needlework—unable to see the beauty from below. In the same way, we often only see the knots and loose threads of life. But from God’s view, it’s a masterpiece. One day, in the light of heaven, all will make sense.

Fr. Luke reflects on the story of Joseph and how it reveals God’s plan through suffering. He reminds us that the greatest struggles often lead to the greatest graces—and that in our own trials, we are being prepared for something beautiful.

Jacob’s encounter with God shows the struggle and transformation that comes with growing in holiness. Fr. Luke reflects on how our journey toward God often involves deep inner battles. But when we allow His love to overcome us, we find true victory and peace.

On this quiet Monday, Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR reflects on the beautiful connection between Jacob’s dream in Genesis and Jesus’ words in the Gospel of John. Jacob saw a stairway to heaven—a powerful image later fulfilled in Christ Himself. No longer do we climb to God through our own efforts. In Jesus, God comes down to us. Through the Mass and the Eucharist, we are lifted, drawn into His presence, and united with Heaven. Every Catholic altar becomes the place where heaven touches earth.

On this “Eternal Gladness Sunday,” Father Luke leads us to reflect on the joy and hope of heaven. From the consoling love of God pictured through a mother’s embrace, to the profound words of Jesus—“Rejoice that your names are written in heaven”—we are reminded of what truly awaits us. With humor, heartfelt stories, and the powerful witness of Saint Maria Goretti, this homily invites us to dream beyond our limited view and anchor our hope in eternity.
