Two Tactics of the Devil

On January 31, 2021 By Fr. Nick Baumgardner

Homily for the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B. There are certain scenes in movies which terrify you as a kid and amuse you as an adult. One of those scenes for me personally, is when Dorothy, the Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man finally meet the Wizard of Oz. That scene used …

Can you deny that He’s called you?

On January 24, 2021January 24, 2021 By Fr. Nick Baumgardner

Homily for the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B. “Can you deny that He’s called you?” These words were ringing in my ears as I drove home last night. “Can you deny that He’s called you?” A religious sister by the name of Mother Mary Catherine once asked me this question. It was the …

On January 4, 2021 By Fr. Nick Baumgardner

Homily for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. What changes on New Year’s Day? Besides the Calendar, not a whole lot. And yet there’s something magical about it. It almost feels like an enchanted door which, the moment we pass through it, allows us to leave the old year behind and to set out …

Magi-ical Discernment

On January 4, 2021January 12, 2021 By Fr. Nick Baumgardner

Homily for the Solemnity of the Epiphany. There are of course far greater tragedies in the modern world, but in my opinion, one of the small but still significant tragedies of modern life is the prevalence of light pollution and our consequent inability to see the stars and other heavenly bodies. If you’ve ever seen …
