At the beginning of the 16th chapter of Saint Matthew’s Gospel, we read, The Pharisees and Sadducees came. And to test him, they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. He answered them, “when it is evening, you say it will be fair weather for the sky is red, and in the morning […]

Father Mitch Pacwa’s homily for the Epiphany
Ephesians Chapter 3 is one of a number of places where St. Paul speaks about the mystery of Revelation. He uses this word following the prophet Daniel who, in his revelation of various dreams and other revelations, identifies them as mysteries known only to God. And St. Paul uses that for the even more profound […]

Father Mitch Pacwa’s homily for December 14th, 2020

Father Mitch Pacwa’s homily for December 9th
Today we celebrate that the Lord chose Juan Diego a native American and Native Mexican in those days. And he was chosen contrary to any of his own desires or interest to see the Blessed Mother.
