In this vlog, Fr. MD shares his reflection on how things on earth – including our lives – do not last forever.  However, God promises we can live with Him in eternity, in the next life,  after we die.  Living with Him forever depends on how we well do during our short lives here on the earth.   Based on the readings of Wisdom 7: 7-11; Hebrews 4: 12-13; & Mark 10: 17-30.

Many priests probably feel uncomfortable preaching today.  Why?  The gospel talks about divorce and priests are very aware that some people in the congregation are divorced!!   Why did the Church include this reading?  Why not just skip this difficult teaching?  This vlog will discuss in depth about this and other sticky (difficult) teachings.  Based on the readings of Genesis 2: 18-24; Hebrews 2: 9-11; & Mark 10: 2-16.

Many people do not realize that their actions can bring either positive or negative consequences to other people at the present time — and for many years to come.  “How?”, you might wonder.  This vlog will explain more.  Based on the readings in Numbers 11: 25-29; James : 1-6; Mark 9: 38-48.

In this gospel, Jesus predicts his suffering and death.  At the same time, Jesus is able to focus on what He is supposed to do now without worrying too much about the death he will face.  How is He able to do this?  By living in the present.  We likewise need to live in the present.  Based on the readings of Wisdom 2: 12-20; James 3: 16-4:3; and Mark 9: 30-37.
