Fr. Kevin's homily for the 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year A)

We are made in the image of God. Just like the coin of the gospel, we carry the image of our creator. So, as Jesus says, we must render to God the things that are God’s; that is, we must preserve that image of God in all that we do, think, say and pray in ourselves.

And since everyone else is created in God’s image too, it must shape all our relationships. Paul tells us how: 'Your work of faith and labour of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.'

We can do that, for as he says our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. Work with the Spirit and all will be well.

Fr. Kevin's homily for the 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year A)

Today’s gospel is a challenge: Christ’s call and our response.

The feast of heaven is set by the prophet. The king in the gospel invites people to his feast.
Some people find excuses, so the king invites people from everywhere - as many as could be found.

We are invited to this feast, and more - to our relationship with the Lord. It's an invitation every Sunday to celebrate the power of the Resurrection that will save us. It's an invitation any day of the week just to share the feast.

What’s your answer? Do you make it every week when you can? Do you take advantage of the daily mass here? If so, how often?

Fr. Kevin's homily for the 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year A)

Paul writes from prison, hoping that his people will live the faith after he is gone and produce the fruit that the prophet and the gospel look for today.

He gives us the challenge of living the Christian life, the gospel - whatever is true, honourable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent and anything worthy of praise. He tells us, 'practise these things, and the God of peace will be with you.'

This is the fruit God seeks from our lives as the image of the Vine sets before us. Will you be fruitful for the Kingdom?

Fr. Kevin's homily for the 26th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year A)

Paul asks us to have the mind of Christ Jesus. What was that mind?
Paul lists it as a check list for Christian living: love, the Spirit, of one mind, humility and looking to the to the interests of others.

Why this list? Christ did just that - he humbled himself to become human and became a servant, even to obedient death on a cross.

If he did it, we need to do the same through a real relationship with Christ which comes through prayer, through living the gospel, to putting others first and being obedient to God’s will.

Fr. Kevin's homily for the 25th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year A)

You can take this gospel in many ways, but I want to suggest the first way takes us to the Seven Deadly Sins – and I’ve never preached on them before!

I think those who are so angry at only being paid what they agreed to, when others come along and work less and get the same, exhibit several of those Deadly Sins;

• There’s Pride to begin with: they put themselves above God and others. I’m more important!

• There’s Greed (Avarice): why shouldn’t I have got more?

• There’s Envy: how come they’re being treated better than me?

• There’s Wrath (Anger): I demand my rights even though I’m getting what I agreed.

How often are there elements like that in our world today? In our own attitude to others?

Stop and ask yourself if you had been one of those employed at the first hour how you might have reacted? How should you react in the image of God who is full of compassion?

Fr. Kevin's homily for the 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time (Year A)

Paul’s powerful statement: 'None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.'
Everything each one of us does (or what we don’t do) has an effect on someone or several people. We are responsible for everything we do consciously or not because it all has an effect.

It’s there in the famous poem of John Donne - No man is an island. Jesus teaches today that to be forgiven means we must forgive.

So look at your own lives and see where you need to forgive, where you must seek forgiveness and when to accept forgiveness - all those three are different.

It’s why the Church asks us to care for creation -because what will the world be like when we are gone if we misuse/neglect the world God has given us? We are not alone!
