A Homily on the Dormition of the Theotokos
Mary's role in this economy, her identity as "Mother," does not end with
giving birth or rearing her child. We see her not only at the Annunciation
and the birth of Jesus, but also at his first miracle in Cana, at the foot
of the Cross, and with the Church at Pentecost. ...

Assumption Homily
Think not for a moment that the Assumption places a distance between us and the
all-holy Mother of God. Quite the contrary. Her exaltation has made her closer
to us than we can dream or imagine. The all-holy Virgin is mother, completely

Christian Life: How to Live Like a Daughter of God
Many of us who have found ourselves to be useful in Christian service have found
ourselves unable, if we're honest, to connect with God any other way. We do for
him, instead of being with him. We become soldiers, instead of brothers and
sisters and daughters and sons. This is dangerous, damaging territory, and I've
