This Homily reflects on the Gospel story of the man born blind and explores the profound difference between physical sight and spiritual sight. Fr. Raymond unpacks how being given sight transforms a person’s entire reality, the contrast between the blind man’s clarity and the Pharisees’ skepticism, and how miraculous change reshapes perception, identity, and relationship with God. Fr. Raymond emphasizes the sacraments and a life of prayer as means to open our inner eyes, and invites listeners to spend 20–30 minutes in intentional prayer and reflection to become aware of their own spiritual blindness and to long for deeper revelation.

March 01, 2026 (Lent II)

This homily explores the Transfiguration in the context of Lent: climbing the mountain, witnessing Jesus’ light, and hearing the Father’s voice. It reflects on how a heavenly glimpse breaks into our suffering and what that means during this Lenten season. It draws connections between the mountaintop experience and daily Lenten practices, how the apostles received a sustaining taste of the kingdom, why they were sent back down, and how that taste can fortify us through trials.  Listeners will hear key takeaways and a simple spiritual challenge: spend five minutes each day in quiet prayer this week, asking the Lord for a taste of the kingdom to sustain your Lenten journey.
