Sunday Thoughts From Fr. Edward Looney

We know certain Bible stories from our childhood, but now it’s time for us to know the verses and memorize scripture.

The gospels tell us about many different miracles. In this weekend‘s homily, Fr. Edward poses the question, do you believe in miracles? He then answers lots of questions about miracles. 

Using the weekend readings, Fr. Edward extracts different ways they teach us to pray.

Saint Paul tells us to pray for Kings and those in authority. That can be hard when you disagree with them. Let Fr. Looney explain how to pray for our government officials.

Moses, St. Paul, and the Prodigal Son, what do they all have in common? They have pasts they can dwell on but instead they should focus on who they are and wish to become. Remember who you are not who you were!

Embrace your cross daily and you’ll experience the resurrected life.

Conduct your affairs with humility. What does a humble person look like? Fr. Edward explains in this weekend’s homily.

Fr. Edward recently was interviewed about Fatima for the History Channel which allowed him to see this weekend’s gospel through that lens.
