Holy Family, Hope of the Human Family - December 31, 2023 - OLC Sunday Homily
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.

To Love Jesus More, Love the World Less - December 30, 2023 - OLC Christmas Octave Homily
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.

Warnisher gives the Dec 17, 2023 homily on the 3rd Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday (from the Latin word for “rejoice”), which begins the stronger period of Advent in immediate preparation for the coming of Christ at Christmas. Today the Church looks at Christ’s precursor, St. John the Baptist, and encourages us to prepare the way for the Lord. And so it is a time of great rejoicing, that the coming of the Lord is near!

Advent: First Step Toward Life with Christ is Repentance - December 10, 2023 - OLC Sunday Homily
In the the homily for the Second Sunday of Advent (Dec 10, 2023), Fr. Alan explains that to reach the end we desire--immortal life with Christ--the first step is repentance--turning away from sin.
Jesus, the Messiah, proclaimed from the very beginning of his ministry: "Repent and believe in the Gospel" (Mark 1:15).
St. Peter in his letter tells us not to think that God has delayed his promise, but that he is patiently waiting for us to repent, before all is consumed in fire. Since we don't know when that will be, the time to repent is now, if only to avoid perdition. A better motive is to imitate Christ and his holy disciples, of whom Mary is the greatest, and the one in whom the Lord delights. Let us seek refuge in her Immaculate Heart, the way to God.
