Just in case this app doesn’t survive the leadership transition, I’ll probably take this show over to my Facebook account - rich.andre.79. It’s been an honor to spend time with you here!
#RichThoughts from 5/31:
This is probably the most out-of-the-box homily I've ever preached.
Thomas Aquinas said the only way we can talk about God is through analogy, but every analogy falls short. Here are 24 analogies in rapid succession.

#RichThoughts for 5/24 (Pentecost):
The woman in the horizontally-striped sweater, who sang in Old St. Mary's choir in 2019, has gone on to lead the largest consultative process in world history!

After my brief homilette, continue watching! Cathy Walz gives a lovely reflection about the Paulists, and invites you to make a donation to the Annual Paulist Appeal.

Better late than never! Here are some #RichThoughts from 2/1:
“As the dawn precedes the rising of the sun… its effects can be seen as lighting up the present.” – Arland J. Hultgren

This may be a turning-point homily for Old St. Mary's Catholic Church! #RichThoughts for 1/25: Let's not think of discipleship — following Jesus Christ — as something we do as individuals. We’re called to do it together, as a community.

#RichThoughts from 12/28: "I’m sure Jesus’ parents were flustered by the countless decisions parents have to make when raising a child."

Note: due to a video glitch for the first two-and-a-half minutes of the homily, we didn't include it on the website.
