Calendar of Readings, Reflections, and Homilies
Take time to read, to reflect, and listen to the Word of the Lord
Welcome to the "Calendar" page.
You don't have to read this section to listen to the homilies. You can click on any calendar entry and follow the links to listen to the homily, to read the Gospel and other spiritual reflections for the day.
As you use the calendars, you might have questions or need more information. Then you may decide to return here.
_________________________________________________
This page provides access to the same homilies that are available on the "All Homilies" page; however, they are grouped with the Gospel reading, and spiritual reflections for the day.
Click on any calendar event to display links to homilies, daily readings, and spiritual reflections. If a calendar entry starts with three leading asteriks *** , then it contains a link to homily; otherwise, there is no recorded homily for that particular day. The homilies on this page are the same ones presented on the "All Homilies" page.
Listen to the selected homily by clicking on the link. The audio player will launch. Follow the routine specific to your audio player (e.g. on some devices you may have to select the download icon and then press “view” to listen to the homily.)
Father celebrates Mass in both the Ordinary Form and Extraordinary Form. Homilies are available for both Mass Forms. The default liturgical calendar is for the Ordinary Form of the Mass. You can switch the Liturgical Calendar by accessing the "Calendar Option" buttons where you can select "Ordinary", "Extraordinary", or "Combined" liturgical calendars. Note: The "Combined" option displays the "Ordinary" and "Extraordinary" on one calendar.
IF YOU WANT TO USE THE CALENDAR "SEARCH" FEATURE:
The method of selecting and listening to the homilies on this page might meet all of your needs; however, you could find yourself wanting to search the calendar for a particular homily (like, "Corpus Christi", or "Faustina", or "Abortion" etc.) or groups of homilies (like "Sunday", "Extraordinary", "Lent", etc.):
SEARCH: You can search for homilies by either using the search buttons displayed at the bottom of this page or by using your own search criteria. In order to accomplish either of these searches, you must 1) log into your Google Account 2) subscribe to four Calendars used on this page 3) use Google Calendar where you can use its "Search" feature.
IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ON THE STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF THE HOMILIES:
You are viewing a combined liturgical calendar for both the "Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms" of the Mass. The homilies on this page are the same ones presented on the "All Homilies" page; however, this page also provides access to the day's Gospel readings and reflections.
Click on any calendar entry to display links to homilies, daily readings, and spiritual reflections.
