In this homily given on the celebration of the Trinitarian Epiphany at Christ’s Baptism, Fr. Anthony literally goes back to the beginning and then places the celebration of Christ’s baptism within the economy of salvation (Lord, I hope the homily was better than that summary of it!). Enjoy the show! Check out this episode!

January 12, 2020 By
In this homily on the Sunday after Theophany (Ephesians 4:7-13; St. Matthew 4:12-17), Fr. Anthony talks about the gains made in the spreading of wealth (and the dramatic reduction of poverty) brought about through economic freedom, a freedom that encourages and empowers people to identify needs and contribute to the good of all; and uses […]
Class – The Way of Ascetics 01
January 11, 2020 By
Tito Coliander’s Way of Ascetics. It’s awesome. We’re going to work our way through it together. Today’s class was interrupted by a tornado warning. We’re all okay, but the recorder shut off (I guess it got scared?)! Check out this episode!
Homily – Learning Charity from our Ancestors
January 5, 2020 By
The Sunday before the Nativity is for remembering and celebrating the lives of the “ancestors of God.” In this homily, Fr.

Homily – What Would We Sacrifice for our Sin
December 29, 2019 By
On the Sunday after Nativity we commemorate the slaughter of the innocents by Herod. Fr. Anthony challenges us to think – and repent of – the sacrifices we would be willing to sacrifice for our own sin. Oh, and yes, he really did blank on the place of Christ’s birth (bless his heart)! He forgot […]
Homily on the Conception of the Mother of God
December 29, 2019 By
Among other things, in this homily Fr. Anthony demonstrates why it is so difficult to preach well on sex (it’s hard to say anything useful without saying something that offends liturgical sensibility). Check out this episode!
Homily – Christ loves the Rich Man
December 16, 2019 By
Homily on Ephesians 5:18-19 and St Luke 18:18-27. Christ loved the Rich Young Ruler. He wasn’t manipulating him (e.g. for money or control), but was trying to get him to rise above his feelings and find freedom to that he could enjoy eternal life. Check out this episode!
Homily- Duran Duran, Monty Python, and the Feast
December 8, 2019 By
Homily on Luke 13:10-17. What does Duran Duran (and Monty Python) have to do with the Feast and evangelism? In Fr. Anthony’s finals-addled mind: it’s all part of the pattern. Gospel: St. Luke (14: 16-24). Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at […]
Homily – Bringing Grace to a Messy World
December 1, 2019 By
St Luke 18:35-43. The healing of the blind beggar. Three points: Jesus did not stay in one place. Jesus Christ is and was God. It is fitting that He reside in the throne room of God, surrounded by the cherubim and seraphim, with His holiness reflecting off all the angels and archangels around Him. But […]
