Jesus Is Our Anchor: Trusting God in Every Trial

Homily for June 30th. 2026 | Fr. Matthew Tomeny, MIC, reminded us that true faith is rooted in complete trust in Jesus, knowing that our Heavenly Father, who created us with perfect love, never abandons us, even in the midst of life's greatest storms. He encouraged us to remember that God's presence is constant, giving us peace and strength through every trial. Reflecting on Jesus' call to "deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me," Fr. Matthew explained that being part of God's Kingdom requires surrender, perseverance, and unwavering faith. Just as the early Christians remained faithful despite persecution, we too are called to stand firm, confident that Jesus is our anchor. We can stay anchored in Christ through the Eucharist and devotion to Mary, and frequently praying "Jesus, I Trust in You."

Christmas Begins with Mercy, Not Decorations

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.
