Daily Homilies

As Christmas draws near, Father Luke reflects on Saint Joseph, the quiet and faithful man chosen by God to protect Mary and raise Jesus. Though Scripture gives few details, Joseph shows humility, obedience, and strength—guiding, providing for, and safeguarding the Holy Family. His example calls us to trust God’s plan, embrace our responsibilities with love, and live faithfully in our own families and vocations.

Father Luke reflects on Jesus’ genealogy and the fulfillment of God’s promises, showing that faith—not bloodlines—is what truly unites us. Through Christ, every family and every nation is invited into the one family of God. Living and nurturing our faith allows God’s grace to flow through our lives, bringing healing, peace, and hope to the world and to our families.

In this homily, Fr. Luke reflects on the ancient prophecy of a star rising from Jacob and how it is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. From the Magi who followed the star to the confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders, we are reminded that Jesus is the true King with all authority—an authority that does not control or manipulate, but frees us to live what is good, holy, and true.

In this homily, Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on how God prepares us for His coming—not only through moments of blessing and joy, but also through trials, patience, and even the crosses we carry. When seen through the eyes of faith, every experience becomes part of God’s loving plan to ready our hearts for heaven and to welcome the Coming King.

Father Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on the unique ways each of us can witness God’s love. From the wild prophet John the Baptist to the humble yet brave Saint Lucy, every saint shows that God uses different gifts and paths to reveal His glory. Today’s homily encourages us to embrace our own calling and share God’s grace with joy and faithfulness.

Father Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, shares the beautiful story of Our Lady of Guadalupe and her message of love, hope, and protection. From appearing to Juan Diego in 1531 to the miraculous image on his tilma that still inspires millions today, Guadalupe reminds us that God’s love and mercy are always with us. She is a sign that no matter the struggles or darkness we face, we are held in the gentle embrace of our Heavenly Mother.

Father Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on Saint John the Baptist as the fulfillment of God’s prophecy and the bridge to Christ. He reminds us how blessed we are to live in the fullness of God’s revelation—through Scripture, the Church, the sacraments, and especially the Eucharist. Even in life’s challenges, we are never alone, for Emmanuel, God is truly with us. A message of hope, gratitude, and the joy of God’s perfect plan.

Fr. Luke shares how the prophecies, the Holy Spirit, and the call of John the Baptist all point to one powerful truth: repentance brings real peace. God’s mercy is joyful—like a gift that lifts the heart. As we prepare for Jesus’ birth, we’re invited to think about what we can offer Him. And the gift He desires most isn’t something we can buy… it’s our sins, surrendered to His love and forgiveness.

Fr. Luke reminds us that Jesus is not merely a teacher or prophet, but God Himself—the Rock whose word gives our lives strength and stability. In this Advent reflection, he calls us to do more than hear the Gospel: we are invited to let Christ’s teaching shape the way we think, choose, and act. When we listen deeply and live His word each day, we build our lives on a foundation that never fails.

Father Luke shows us that Jesus didn’t come to offer temporary fixes, but to defeat sin and death once and for all. Every prophecy points to His coming, where He nourishes us with His Word and His very life in the Eucharist. In Advent, we remember that the crib already points to the Cross—and that His arrival means the victory is already won. God’s plan is simple and beautiful: to give us eternal life with Him.
