Thursday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time. Going through times of change can be stressful, and it's often more comfortable to slip back into situations that are familiar to us. Father Dave encourages us to persevere through times of transition, especially if we might be asking for forgiveness. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City on 08-17-17.

Feast of St. Lawrence. Father Dave reflects on the life of St. Lawrence, and considers how he lived with great cheerfulness, even up to the moment of his death. We can be more like St. Lawrence, and spread cheerfulness to others as we go about our days. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City on 08-10-17.
