Fr. Dan Cambra, MIC, shares about one of the great saints to bear witness to the importance of loving God, first and foremost: St. Philip Neri.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/122325.cfm Christmas does not begin when the stores say it does. It begins with prayer. As Fr. Chris Alar, MIC explains, the Church enters Christmas at Vespers on Christmas Eve, because the mystery we celebrate is not sentimentality but the Incarnation itself — God entering history to heal what humanity could never repair on its own.

 On the Feast of St. John of the Cross, Fr. Dan reminds us to focus on the will of God.
