On this Day of Pentecost, we rejoice in the gift of the Holy Spirit given to all believers, and remember to glorify the Holy Spirit – not get preoccupied with the graces Christ empowers us with to bring the Gospel to bear in our lives and the lives of others.

Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Ascension & Seventh Sunday in Easter – 2017
One theme that pops up in our readings today is how Christ is glorified in his people. Of course, that ties in with the larger summons to seek and serve Christ is all people – as we promised in our baptismal covenant. So we need to do our part to look for Jesus in everyone, plus show that same same Jesus to everyone.
Also, take a moment to reflect on how Jesus fulfills God’s promises in his Ascension back to heaven, both in what he does for us and what he does in us.

Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Fourth Sunday in Easter – 2017
Sorry for being a little late on my sermon posting. This week of the Good Shepherd (see the collect for the Fourth Sunday), Jesus reveals himself in John’s Gospel to be the “gate” for God’s sheepfold. Let us rejoice in the protection, provision, and guidance our Lord provides for us as part of his flock.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Third Sunday of Easter – 2017
Progressing through Eastertide, our Gospel lesson brings us face to face with Jesus with a couple disciples heading to Emmaus, who then discover our Risen Lord in Scripture and the Breaking of Bread. May we find Jesus in the Bible, his table, and our own tables as well.

Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Fifth Sunday in Lent – 2017
As we wind down Lent and enter Holy Week, the lectionary presents readings to stoke our hearts’ flames with hope in anticipation of the resurrection! And that hope stirs us to genuinely pursue God’s call to care for people in body as much as soul, and to care for creation as much as people.
Fr. Lenny’s Sermon – Fourth Sunday in Lent – 2017
On this Laetare Sunday, we rejoice over the lessons that describe our Lord as a Divine Shepherd of Light. May we all find reason to be glad in someone who can enlighten us, guide, and free us from sin and death!
