March 30, 2024: "Tonight, you stand at the entrance of his empty tomb, with Mary Magdalene and the women from Galilee. You see the angels in dazzling garments. And you hear those astounding words: “He is not here, but he has been raised!” Christ is risen, Jesus is alive!"

March 29, 2024: "Out of love for us, Jesus came down from heaven to share in our humanity, in the reality of our everyday lives. Jesus knows what it’s like to work and to love, to have a family and friends. He knows what it’s like to be hungry and thirsty, to be tired and frustrated. He knows what it’s like to be misunderstood and rejected. And in his humanity, Jesus knows what it feels like to be afraid in the face of suffering and death."

March 25, 2024: "We all participate in the priesthood of our Lord Jesus Christ. The whole church is a priestly people. Through baptism, all the faithful share in the priesthood of Christ. This participation is called “the common priesthood” of the faithful. As the Lord’s “priests,” we share in his mission of sanctifying this world, of making this world God’s kingdom — a world of truth, beauty, and goodness; a world of holiness, justice, and mercy."

March 24, 2024: "Our Gospel today ends with our Lord suffering and dying on the cross, feeling abandoned and alone. Everything appears to be lost. But it’s not! And we know that. The victory is already won. God wins in the end!"

March 17, 2024: "We need to make Jesus the “way” for our life! We need to leave behind our old ways and our old life and follow him, we need to stay close to him, as we all are trying to do. Jesus saw his life, as “seed,” as a “grain of wheat.” And we should think about our own lives that way, too."

March 10, 2024: "This story of Israel is the story of our lives, too. God did not leave Israel in exile. And he does not leave us in captivity to our sins and transgressions. Even though often we forget him or turn our backs on him. Sin will never get the last word. Not in our lives. And not in history."

March 3, 2024: "When Jesus entered the Temple area in the Gospel, he found some things that should not have been there — money changers and dealers, people selling oxen, sheep, doves, and other things. So in the same way, when Jesus looks into the temple of our hearts, there might be things should not be there. I’m thinking of some distractions — worries and anxieties. Maybe some bad habits and wrong priorities."

February 25, 2024: "What Jesus shows us today is that we are God’s beloved sons and daughters, each and every one of us. This is the beautiful gift that he gives us by dying for us on the cross and rising for us on the third day."

February 14, 2024: "We hear our Lord’s voice in the first reading today, from the prophet Joel: “Even now, says the Lord, Return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping and mourning.” So, as I was saying, this journey of Lent is a journey of returning, it’s a journey of coming home."

February 11, 2024: "Jesus comes to heal us, just as he stretched himself to heal the leper in today’s passage of the Gospel. This is why he came into the world! To bring us God’s mercy, to bring us God’s love. But we need to come to Jesus, we need to come with the same faith, the same courage as that leper today."

January 28, 2024: "I want to say personally to all the jubilarians: Thank you for your humble service of prayer, for your ministries of catechesis and education, and thank you for your love for the poor and sick. Our Lord speaks his words to each one of you: “Well done, good and faithful servants!” For all of us, you are a witness to the joy of the Gospel, the joy of discipleship, of following the Lord with all your heart and all your strength."

January 14, 2024: "As we see in the Gospel today, in a beautiful way, in the same way that the disciples were looking for Jesus — we also are looking for Jesus, and Jesus is longing for our friendship, too. He is always seeking, always waiting for us to turn to him."

January 1, 2024: "When they found Jesus, “they made known the message” that the angels had told them. And after adoring Jesus, the shepherds returned to their ordinary lives “glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen.” So my dear brothers and sisters, like those shepherds, we need to stay close to Jesus, and close to his Mother and St. Joseph. We need to adore him and to learn from him."

December 31, 2023: "In our families, in our own lives, we turn often to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. They understand our challenges. Those of you who are parents especially should be talking to St. Joseph and our Mother Mary every day, asking for their intercession and their guidance."

December 26, 2023: "We celebrate the feast of St. Stephen, the first martyr of the Church, I was thinking that the Church gives us this feast on the day after Christmas to remind us that our faith in Jesus Christ is not just warm feelings and beautiful ideas."

December 25, 2023: "Jesus comes, just as the prophet Isaiah promised he would, like “a great light” breaking into this “land of gloom.” He comes to light our path through this world of darkness. So my brothers and sisters, in his glorious light we see our life’s true worth. We see why we are here, and who we are made to be!"

December 24, 2023: :as we come close to the celebration of Christmas, I think it’s good to stop and think about how beautiful it is that we are part of the plan of God from history in the simplicity of our own personal lives. This is why our Gospel today centers us on the figure of Mary, our Blessed Mother. Because Mary is the model for our relationship with God. Jesus must be born in every heart, just as he was born in the heart of Mary. And for that, obviously, we must say “yes” to God — just as Mary did."

December 21, 2023: "Jesus once said of himself: “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.” So we pray that our brothers and sisters will find rest and comfort in God’s loving arms, and that the home they could not find on earth, they will now have forever in heaven."

December 17, 2023: "We rejoice on this third Sunday in Advent because we realize that something wonderful is about to happen — in just a week from now! God is coming to dwell among us! The Word is coming to be made flesh! We are rejoicing because Jesus Christ desires to be born in our world and in our hearts."

November 26, 2023: "The message we proclaim is that God is the Creator of the universe, the Lord of history, and the Author of every life. And God wants to make this whole world into his kingdom, to make all of us one family, to unite all things and every person in him, as brothers and sisters, children of God."
