Mini Homily for January 29:
As a spiritual challenge this week, where are the areas of your life you feel are “scattered” in you? What are the fears, anxieties, and shameful areas of your life that you feel need healing? When you identify them, I invite you to make a good confession to allow the grace of the Sacrament to heal you and restore you to wholeness. Someone I know who is an exorcist once said, “The most powerful prayer of exorcism is the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.” Be freed from sin in this Sacrament of Healing and rejoice in being returned to wholeness by the love of Jesus Christ.

Mini Homily for February 5:
Do you or a loved one you know need the Sacrament of Anointing? If so, please request the Sacrament. It is a sacrament that, because of the old understanding of Last Rights, is often not requested for enough because it is presumed it is only meant for the moment of death. If you are suffering from cancer, you can request the Sacrament. If you are struggling with emotional difficulties, you can request the Sacrament. If you are going in for major surgery, you can request the Sacrament. And if you are aged and fear death may be coming, but is not imminent, you can request the Sacrament. Do not fear to request the Sacrament of Anointing. It does not mean you will die within the hour, but it means that you are struggling with a serious ailment and need Christ’s healing grace in your life.
