Fr Joachim M. Mudd gives the homily at Our Lady's Chapel for the Solemnity of Epiphany, explaining that this feast underscores how the Magi, of pagan or Gentile origin, symbolize the "children of the promise" given to Abraham, father in faith to all who will receive salvation. Jesus the Messiah was a Jew, was sent to the Jews, but extended salvation to all who believe in him and would be baptized. We who have received this gift have a responsibility, to share it with all those who have not yet received the promise.

Fr Alan explains in the homily for January 6, 2024 (Optional Memorial of St. André Bessette) the unique and specific Faith that leads to eternal life. In the First Reading, the evangelist and apostle John says, "There are three that testify, the Spirit, the water, and the Blood"; the saving truth to which they testify is this: "God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." This is the unique and specific faith that leads to eternal life in Heaven.

For the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph (Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023), Fr. Alan devotes the homily to a reflection on how our Christian life has its origin in the life of the Holy Family. God reveals the path of salvation through Christ Jesus, who came into history in the context of the Holy Family. The enemy of God and man therefore aims to erase that path of salvation by seeking to destroy the institution of marriage and family.

In the homily at Our Lady's Chapel, for the Sixth Day in the Octave of Christmas (Dec. 30, 2023), Fr. Isidore expounds on the example of the prophetess, Anna, mentioned in today's Gospel, and comments on the teaching from the first reading (1 John 2:12-17): in order to love Jesus more, we must learn to love the world less. In order to grow old gracefully and productively as exemplified by Anna in today's Gospel, we must seek Jesus through prayer and devotion, and by remaining in close contact with God we will find the strength to live our mission.
