Sunday Thoughts From Fr. Edward Looney

You can know things, but do you believe? Our knowledge must lead to belief and action. Fr Edward Looney explains in his Easter homily.

Taking his cue from Mike Aquilina and Archbishop Eamon Martin, Fr. Looney preaches on St. Joseph as Leader and Teacher of Passover Prayer and an appropriate intercessor for priests, on this night when Christ instituted the priesthood and the Holy Eucharist.

Fr. Edward Looney encourages you to re-read the Passion narrative and to ask the question: "What moves me, what strikes me, in this reading?" Go and read Mark 14 and to the end of his gospel.

People want to see Jesus and He wants you to be drawn to Him. Why do you seek and how are you drawn?

When do you practice silence in your life? Do you at all? Fr. Looney encourages you this week to make time for silence.

We all know the Ten Commandments. The first few deal with love of God. What does the first commandment mean for our life?

Fr. Edward is an avid skier and those experiences has taught him lessons for the spiritual life.

Every year we experience the season of Lent? You ever wonder why? Fr. Edward Looney gives three practical reasons why we need Lent each year- renewal, reflection, and repentance.

Fr. Edward Looney preaches about two lepers, the leper of the gospel, and the leper of Molokai, and how each give an example of an openness to God's will.

We all know someone who needs healing. Be like those in the gospel who brought them to Jesus to be healed.

The people in the synagogue were amazed at Jesus’s teaching. What teaching of the Lord astonishes you?

Jonah proclaims a fast. It’s not just for Lent but for all year. Fr. Edward explains.

We all try to listen to hear God’s voice. What do you do after you hear His voice? Fr. Looney explains.

Fr. Looney preaches Friday during Christmas time at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Hep in Champion, WI.

The magi entered the house and found Jesus with his mother Mary. Where was Joseph? And where is he in your spiritual life?

Mary is a woman of many names. There’s a name for you to invoke this year.

What do you want from Jesus this Christmas? Or better, what does Jesus want from you? Fr. Looney reflects on these questions.

Do you believe in miracles. This is the season of miracles. Fr. Looney preaches about persistent prayer and how nothing is impossible for God.

Darkness is the absence of light. Christ is the Light of the World. He shines in our darkness.

Who are you? How would you answer that question? Would it cross your mind to answer it in view of your relationship with Jesus Christ. Fr. Edward Looney opens your mind to consider who you are as a child of God.
