This March I’ve been enormously blessed to be on the “Faith and Fun in the Holy Land” pilgrimage with Lino Rulli from SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel (ch. 129), his producer Tyler, and a fun group of listeners.
Here is the final homily from this pilgrimage, given at the Dominus Flevit Church, where Jesus wept over Jerusalem (see Luke 19.41-44, which was also the gospel from this Mass).

Here is the homily given at the Church of St. Catherine, which is right next to the site of the Nativity of Jesus. This homily is a little shorter than usual due to time constraints. Also, sorry for the audio quality; hopefully I’m still relatively understandable. :)
Readings were from the Christmas Mass During the Night: Isaiah 9.2-4,6-7; Psalm 96; Titus 2.11-14; Luke 2.1-16 (see the readings at usccb.org.

Here is the homily given at Mount Tabor, site of the Transfiguration. I’ve also included the gospel because I think it’s so neat how the holy sites here have added words like “THIS” and “HERE” to the texts. It really hits home.
Readings: Daniel 7.9-10,13-14; Psalm 97; 2 Peter 1.16-19; Matthew 17.1-9 (see the readings at usccb.org.

This March I’ve been enormously blessed to be on the “Faith and Fun in the Holy Land” pilgrimage with Lino Rulli from SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel (ch. 129), his producer Tyler, and a fun group of listeners. Here is my first homily given during the trip, at the church above The House of Peter in Capernaum.
Readings: Exodus 16.2-4,12-15; Psalm 78; John 6.51-59
The readings were specially given for this location, which is just across from the synagogue where Jesus gave his famous “Bread of life” discourse. Of note (and I mention this in the homily), the church has permission to add a word into the gospel, which was capitalized and bolded in the text: “These things he said while teaching in THIS synagogue in Capernaum.” A number of churches in the Holy Land do this, and it is quite powerful to read it there!
The House of Peter in Capernaum. The church is build over top of the archaeological site.
