Fourth Sunday of Lent, March 26, 2006
02/04/2006 Duration: 12minA week ago I was having problems with uploading. Now, I am having problems remembering what I talked about. Having referred to a lectionary, I recall now that I talked about the Babylonian Exile. Also, of course, about John 3:16.

Third Sunday of Lent, March 19, 2006
19/03/2006 Duration: 14minI was windy today -- this is over 14 minutes, at the early Mass at St. Benedict. I am covering various aspects of participation in liturgy. I would love to go deeper into the social situation of "convenient sacrifice" at the time of Jesus. My personal spirituality is founded upon the notions of sacrifice as discussed in Hebrews 9 and 10.

Second Sunday of Lent, March 12, 2006
12/03/2006 Duration: 11minIs anxiety necessary? Was Abraham's imperative to kill his son all in his mind? We will try to answer these questions today. Recorded at the 8 am Mass in Auburn.

First Sunday of Lent, March 5, 2006
05/03/2006 Duration: 12minOnce I finished this homily, I realized that I had not mentioned the date of Easter; it's April 16. Lent does not exist for its own sake; rather, it is our preparation for Easter.

Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 26, 2006
26/02/2006 Duration: 08minWhere was I the previous two weeks? Well, I was at the ambo ... but I don't have recordings to prove it. I know I inadvertently erased Feb. 19 -- but I don't know what happened to Feb. 12. Today's reflection continues with practical matters of living as a parish community, and it focuses on that church staple put together with staples: the humble missalette.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 5, 2006
11/02/2006 Duration: 06minToday I talk about money. Listen to determine whether I make a convincing case for money being "boring."
-
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 29, 2006
29/01/2006 Duration: 11minThe early Mass at St. Benedict. The man crying out in the synagogue makes me think of 1) kids in church -- an emotionally-charged issue, and 2) mental illness. Listen to my thoughts.

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 22, 2006
22/01/2006 Duration: 10minThe last and best-attended Mass. A familiar theme of mine: We don't go to Mass to make God happy. Rather, God makes us happy (repentance/conversion) and then we, out of thanksgiving, are present for worship.
-
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 15, 2006
15/01/2006 Duration: 09minYou were perhaps looking for the "First Sunday in Ordinary Time"? Sorry -- it doesn't exist! A bit of housekeeping, plus a look at the built-in eagerness for God that all of us have.
-
Epiphany of the Lord, January 8, 2006
15/01/2006 Duration: 10minThis was a week ago. I don't remember much. Mainly I was, I think, talking about the officialization of the new parish.
-
Mary, Mother of God, January 1, 2006
15/01/2006 Duration: 08minTwo listeners noted that my original recording was truncated. Here, I believe, is the complete recording.

Christmas Midnight, Sunday, December 25, 2005
01/01/2006 Duration: 06minMidnight in Auburn: my fourth of five Christmas Eucharists.
-
Fourth Sunday of Advent, December 18, 2005
18/12/2005 Duration: 06minEarlier I had posted an explanation of my absence on the Second and Third Sundays of Advent -- but that recording was blank, because I had not turned the microphone on. I'm back with a homily recorded at the early Mass at Auburn.

Christ the King (Thirty-fourth and Last Sunday in Ordinary Time), Nov. 20, 2005
20/11/2005 Duration: 09minThis was the early Sunday Mass, held at the St. Benedict Parish Center because the church interior is being painted.
-
Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time, November 13, 2005
20/11/2005 Duration: 29sI am still not used to turning on my recorder AFTER I have proclaimed the Gospel. November 13 I was one sentence into the homily (at my last Mass) and I said to myself, "No, I'm not going to stop now."
-
Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time, November 6, 2005
06/11/2005 Duration: 12minI goofed and recorded the Gospel passage. Is this illegal, or am I just PREMATURELY RIGHT?
-
Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 30, 2005
30/10/2005 Duration: 12minI note some extraneous noise; I think the mic must have been rubbing against fabric. On "Priesthood Sunday," there are some pertinent readings! Fr. Kevin recalls his interview for the seminary. Recorded in Auburn, Sunday morning.
-
Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 23, 2005
23/10/2005 Duration: 10min"You can't have everything you want." See whether this glum pronouncement leads to anything good. Recorded Sunday in Auburn.

Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 16, 2005
16/10/2005 Duration: 08minThe copyright cops have spoken! Until further notice (because the USCCB is still looking at the phenomenon of podcasting), I am not to podcast the proclamation of the Scriptures from the New American Bible. So we go straight to the homily. As Americans, we are wired to take the incident of Caesar's coin and project onto it all of our anxieties about the delicate balance of church-state relations. This homily was delivered Sunday morning in Auburn.
