Homilía para el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia
Fr Edwin · April 4, 2024
Homilía para el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia, basada en Juan 20 (Tomás el incrédulo — "Señor mío y Dios mío"). El Padre Edwin explica que la misericordia de Dios es omnipresente, omnipotente y omnisciente, manifestada plenamente en Cristo, quien perdona incluso la duda. Cita Romanos 5:8, Salmo 103:8 (94:7), y Números 14:18 sobre la paciencia y misericordia divinas, y recomienda la encíclica Dives in Misericordia de Juan Pablo II. Concluye exhortando a los fieles a aprovechar la misericordia de Dios mientras viven.

Hope in God Homily
Fr Edwin · January 4, 2024
An Advent homily (Second Sunday of Advent) centered on hope as the theme of the season's second candle. Fr. Edwin teaches that true "light" of Advent isn't Christmas decorations but the light of a prepared heart — through confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Reflecting on John the Baptist's message ("one mightier than me is coming... he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit"), he cites Isaiah 40:31 ("those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength"), Acts 17:28, and Nehemiah 8:10 ("the joy of the Lord is my strength") to define hope as the theological virtue of desiring God as our highest good. Warns against placing hope in gifts, money, or material things, urging listeners not to "light up their homes" without first reconciling with family, caring for the poor, and receiving the sacraments — since joy, not wealth, is the true light that draws people to Christ.

Believing in God in Good times and Bad times alike.
Fr Edwin · January 3, 2024
A homily reflecting on Mark 8:27-35 — Peter's profession that Jesus is the Messiah, followed by his rejection of the cross ("God forbid"). Fr. Edwin teaches that true Christian faith must be professed in both good times and suffering, since Christ needs our faith most in painful moments. He reflects on the cross as central to Christian life — "life is full of crosses" — citing Matthew 7:13 and Romans 5:3-4 on suffering producing perseverance, character, and hope. Warns against building a "superficial world" that avoids hardship, leading to anxiety and depression, and encourages embracing crosses (family, relationships, struggles) as a path to spiritual strength.

Focusing on Christ
Fr Edwin · January 3, 2024
A homily on Matthew 11:25-30 ("Come to me, all you who labor and are overburdened, and I will give you rest") and Hebrews 1:3. Fr. Edwin urges the congregation to place their hope in Christ rather than material things amid a "scary" world. He reads Mário de Andrade's poem "My Soul Has a Heart" ("We have two lives... the second begins when you realize you only have one") to illustrate urgency in turning to God. Draws on John 6:35, 8:12, 8:58, 11:25, and 14:6 (Christ as bread of life, light, resurrection, and the way), plus Philippians 1:21 and Galatians 2:20, closing with a call to reject worldly ideologies and stand "pro-life" with Christ.

Evangelio y reflexión del día
Fr Edwin · April 12, 2020
Reflexión sobre el Evangelio de Juan 14:23-29, donde Jesús habla del amor, la obediencia a su palabra y la promesa del Espíritu Santo. El Padre Edwin desarrolla el tema del amor como el sello del cristiano, comparando a la Iglesia con la esposa de Cristo (imaginería del Cantar de los Cantares) y enseñando que el amor debe manifestarse en el hogar, la comunidad y el sacrificio por los demás (Juan 15:13, Mateo 18:20, 1 Corintios 13). Advierte contra el materialismo, el egoísmo y la falta de amor en las familias, e invita a los fieles a vivir en el amor "perfumado" de Cristo.
