Father Healy's Homilies

Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle C)

Originally delivered on August 30,1992

Readings: Sir 3:17-18, 20, 28-29; Heb 12:18-19, 22-24a; Luke 14:1, 7-14

We are reminded that if we want to be great, we should celebrate with and praise the least attended to among us.  If we want to strive for humility, then we should celebrate the reflection of God within ourselves and our sisters and brothers, despite our unworthiness.  It is the mystery of God’s love that makes each of us special and unique.  The challenge for each of us is to give thanks to God for our gifts  By giving constant thanks to God, we achieve humility. But we cannot stop there.  We must also reach out to all of God’s people and use the gifts given to us by God to enrich their lives.  In turn, our own lives will be enlightened by the beauty of Jesus in the face of those “outsiders” that we embrace.

Update and Request for Help

Dear subscribers,

Until early July I will be in transit from my home in Mexico to my "real" home back in Washington, DC.  I will be able to post the podcasts but will not likely be able to write the descriptions of the homilies.  If anyone would like to listen to the podcasts and then write up a short summary, I'd be thrilled and will update the entry. If you'd like to do so, please let me know via email at flfinamore@gmail.com

Finally, for those considering a donations, the Haiti Committee of Our Lady Queen of Peace Church (where Fr. Healy was pastor from 1983-1995) will be sure to put your donation to good use rebuilding schools and churches, providing meals, and ensuring clean water.  Please see the donation link on the left-side of the website for more information on how to donate.

Thanks, in advance, for your help.  Peace, Frank Finamore

Seventh Sunday of Easter (Cycle C)

Originally delivered on May 31, 1992

Readings: Acts of the Apostles 7: 55-60; Revelation 22: 12-14, and John 17: 20-26

God is love.  Our loving, parental God sent His Son, Jesus, to all the people of the earth to lead them back to His Father’s house to celebrate together forever.  So simple, yet our challenge is to find its meaning for us in our hectic, challenging lives.  Stephen understood this message and gives witness of this understanding to others.  We, as Christians, are called to be like Stephen, to love one another as our God loves us.  Like Stephen, our witness may cost us our lives, but we are called to give witness by showing our passion for people, our brothers and sisters, especially those we might call our enemies.
