Just Pray

God Will Provide

As mentioned in the homily this week is Natural Family Planning Awareness week, and I would just like to provide you with a link that the USCCB has regarding NFP. Here is the link  and there are some great resources, especially the couple's stories. Please take a look at these resources and as I said in the homily, make sure to pray with your spouse.

Do we Trust God?

Sorry for the delay in posting the homily. I am working on getting it posted sooner, maybe even Sunday, but I need someone to volunteer to help me out.

Being Sent

It was a great first weekend at St. John the Baptist in Excelsior and thank you to all who welcomed me. Sorry it took so long to post the homily, it's my hope that this soon will be posted sooner than Tuesday evenings.

Thank You

I have sinned against the LORD

Thy WIll Be Done

As mentioned in the homily I think that it is a wise idea for people to fill out their Health Care Directives, before they reach a point where they need them. Here is a link to the Minnesota Catholic Health Care Directive website, which has the forms and other resources availible.

Living on the Eucharist Alone

Choose from our homes those needed for Your work

Archdiocesan Prayer for Vocations

O God, we earnestly ask You to bless this archdiocese with many priests, Brothers, and Sisters who will love You with their whole strength and gladly spend their entire lives  to serve your Church and  to make You known and loved.

Bless our families, bless our children. Choose from our homes those needed for your work.

Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us, pray for our priests, Religious, and deacons. Obtain for us many more.

Come, Holy Spirit, Come!!!

The point of this homily is to encourage us to call down the Holy Spirit more in our lives. We belong to him, we are his adopted children, but there are other spirits that try to make us belong to them. What we need to do is simply call upon the Holy Spirit to help us continue to be God's children.
