We can know perfectly well what God asks of us and still say no.
We can become so used to sin that it no longer troubles us.

Understanding God’s Mercy: Lessons from Saint John Eudes, Homily, 19th August
We cannot place God in our debt.
We do not earn heaven as wages.
Everything begins with mercy.
The Assumption of Our Lady, Homily, 16th August
The final word about Mary is not Calvary.
It is glory.
The final word about the Christian is not the grave.
It is glory.
And the source of that glory is Jesus Christ.
Understanding the Assumption of Mary: A Sign of Hope, homily, 15th August, Vigil Mass
Our culture tells us to belong to ourselves.
Mary teaches us to belong to God.
Our culture tells us to protect ourselves from sacrifice.
Mary teaches us to say, “Let it be done to me according to your word.”
Our culture teaches us to fear suffering, ageing and death as though they were the end of everything.
Mary points beyond the grave.
She reminds us that our true homeland is heaven.
