Bishop Taylor Homilies

First Sunday of Lent, Year A 2023
Lent is a time for us to deepen our knowledge of God’s truth and thereby be better equipped to avoid getting snared by Satan’s lies.
Ash Wednesday 2023
On Ash Wednesday we rededicate ourselves to the Kingdom of God, putting aside our sinful ways with the help of prayer and fasting, and opening our hearts to the poor through almsgiving, aware that we will take nothing with us but our good deeds.
Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A
Our opinion must not get in the way of our love.
