The healing of the leper, and our healing from sin. 

The hubris of dissenting from Jesus' authority in our lives. 

The urgency for repentance, and the patience of God for his feeble children.

Christmas presents, and Jesus' baptism. 

Stanley Cup Finals tickets, Hamilton, and the necessity of physical presence for worship.

Pope St. John Paul II's outdoor, Midnight Mass, and 2020. 

What if Mary said no to the angel Gabriel? 

God save us from gloomy saints. 

Bad roads in Colombia, repentance, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. 

"Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you."    My homily for the week.
