The River of Life - Weekday Homily Video

In today’s reading from Ezekiel, there’s an incredibly detailed and hope-filled description of the water flowing from the Temple and the abundant life that results.

What’s Your Window of Opportunity - Weekday Homily Video

Servant Leadership - Weekday Homily Video

Today's scripture paints a powerful picture of leadership, unlike anything the world offers. It's not about titles, authority, or personal gain. It's about a radical shift in perspective—from seeking to be served to serving with love and truth. We, as families, are the foundation of society.
