Homilies about selflessness

How to Live a Life with No Regrets

The homily uses the parable of the rich man and Lazarus to discuss the concept of regret and how our choices in this life determine our eternal destiny. The priest encourages listeners, especially the students, to live selflessly and to use their time and resources to help others, focusing on those close to them, so they can meet God without regrets.

Are You Truly Selfless? A Daily Challenge from Jesus

The homily challenges listeners to reflect on their own self-centeredness, contrasting it with Jesus's call to selfless service. It highlights how even Jesus's closest disciples struggled with worldly ambition and encourages a daily examination of conscience to strive for Christ-like availability for God's work, rather than personal accomplishment.

The Secret to Happiness: Why Giving Yourself Away Brings More Joy

The homily draws a parallel between Juliet's famous line, "The more I give to you, the more I seem to have," and Jesus' teaching about doing the Father's will. It emphasizes that true happiness and the essence of love lie in self-giving and prioritizing the needs and happiness of others, mirroring God's selfless love.

Beyond Wealth: The Attitude Jesus Truly Condemns

The homily emphasizes that Jesus does not condemn wealth itself, but rather the attitude of ingratitude and demanding more than one has. It calls for an attitude of gratefulness for all that comes from God and encourages sharing with others, especially during Lent. The homily also connects this selflessness to the sacrament of matrimony, celebrating a couple getting married after the Mass.
