In his first Sunday homily as a priest, on the Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time at Our Lady's Chapel in New Bedford, Fr. Charles M. Robinson reflects on the truth that our hearts desire the goodness that ultimately leads to God Himself. Father analyzes the opening prayer of Mass (the Collect), which he paraphrases from the Latin: "O God, pour into our hearts the warmth of Your love so that we may attain Your promises," and explains how this prayer of hope refers to promises of unseen things that God has prepared. Those promises are given in this life in sign and symbol, as in the Sacraments which confer real grace, and which will be given to us in glory in the life to come, if we live as we ought here and now.

Fr Alan gives the homily for Transfiguration Sunday (Aug 06, 2023), at Our Lady's Chapel in New Bedford, Massachusetts, reflecting on how the Transfiguration event sheds light on Christ's transcendence as the Eternal Word Made Flesh. Fr. Alan observes how the Son of God, the Eternal Word, is active throughout the history of salvation, pointing out the examples of His interactions with Moses and Elijah, long before He took flesh. He is the same, then and now, and forever, and we are fortified by this knowledge, even as we behold him on the cross.
