Fr. Raymond’s Sunday homilies for the Catholic Campus Ministry Mass: Christ-centered preaching that encourages, challenges, and equips students to live their faith on campus and beyond.

This Homily explores faith as both a gift from God and a deliberate human act—more than a comforting phrase, it is a lived relationship that shapes how we act, choose, and care for others. Using everyday examples like hospital visits, Mass, and community response to disaster, the Homily invites listeners to recognize faith in concrete actions and to grow by responding daily to God's invitation.

This homily unpacks the parable of the shrewd steward to show how raising the master's reputation and taking responsibility teach us about integrity and representing Jesus through our actions. Directed especially at students, it urges owning mistakes, embracing gradual growth, and making small, disciplined choices now that shape maturity, freedom, and faith for the future.

This homily reflects on how life often takes unexpected turns, using the Israelites' and Jesus’ journey to illustrate how suffering can have redemptive meaning. Fr. Raymond calls listeners to act on their faith in daily life—through sacraments, service, and bringing hope to others—while staying present and allowing the cross to remind us of purpose and love.

The cost of following Jesus and what discipleship looks like for college students. It challenges listeners to put God first in their relationships, time, and priorities, and explains that true discipleship requires sacrifice and a reordered life. Fr. Raymond emphasizes practical ways to pursue Christ—regular prayer, attending Mass, joining campus ministry, and participating in a discipleship program—to grow in relationship with God and hear His voice. Listeners are invited to take the first step toward pursuing Jesus, trusting that while the cost is real, a life ordered around Him brings greater joy and purpose.

This Homily reflects on Jesus' parable about guests jockeying for the best seat to teach that true worth comes from being God's beloved, not from status or comparison. In the wake of a recent church shooting, Fr. Raymond invites honest grief, prayer for the victims, and a humble, compassionate response that believes evil will not have the last word.
