Memorial of Saint Paul Miki and Companions, Martyrs. Father Dave reflects on the different moments of happiness and despair we endure throughout our lives. He invites us to remember the happy feelings of faith in our lives, because there will be days when we need the hope of those moments.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Jesus makes an analogy about the importance of salt, and how the value of salt is reliant upon whether or not we actually use it. Father Dave draws a comparison to a modern day example of toys - if we don't play with them are they really toys? We have to use the gifts that God gives us, or else they have no value. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City on 02-05-17.
