Homily – What Would We Sacrifice for our Sin
On the Sunday after Nativity we commemorate the slaughter of the innocents by Herod. Fr. Anthony challenges us to think – and repent of – the sacrifices we would be willing to sacrifice for our own sin. Oh, and yes, he really did blank on the place of Christ’s birth (bless his heart)! He forgot […]
Homily on the Conception of the Mother of God
Among other things, in this homily Fr. Anthony demonstrates why it is so difficult to preach well on sex (it’s hard to say anything useful without saying something that offends liturgical sensibility). Check out this episode!
Homily – Christ loves the Rich Man
Homily on Ephesians 5:18-19 and St Luke 18:18-27. Christ loved the Rich Young Ruler. He wasn’t manipulating him (e.g. for money or control), but was trying to get him to rise above his feelings and find freedom to that he could enjoy eternal life. Check out this episode!
Homily- Duran Duran, Monty Python, and the Feast
Homily on Luke 13:10-17. What does Duran Duran (and Monty Python) have to do with the Feast and evangelism? In Fr. Anthony’s finals-addled mind: it’s all part of the pattern.

St Luke 18:35-43. The healing of the blind beggar. Three points: Jesus did not stay in one place. Jesus Christ is and was God. It is fitting that He reside in the throne room of God, surrounded by the cherubim and seraphim, with His holiness reflecting off all the angels and archangels around Him. But […]

(St. John 1: 1-18) It is not a complete historical account (St. John 21:25) It is not self evident (Acts 8:26-35) Interpretation is of the Lord, through Christ (Genesis 40: 8; St. Luke 24: […]

Homily – Leave it all on the track!
St. LUKE 12:16-21. The Lord said this parable: “The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will […]
