Homily on the Publican and the Pharisee
We live in a fantasy world. A world in which there is no need for us to change. But we are not well, we are simply deluded. May the Lord God protect us from the Pharisee in our minds that wants to tell us lies about ourselves and our neighbors and give us the humility – and through that the justification - of the Publican. Enjoy the show!

20171217 Homily on the Incarnation
Was Jesus Christ really born on the 25th of December? It's an interesting question, but the real confusion is not about the day the Virgin Mary miraculously delivered the baby Jesus in a humble stable in Jerusalem but about the day when Christ was actually brought into being. In this homily Fr. Anthony shares the mystery of a God begotten before all ages born as a baby in Bethlehem. Enjoy the show!
