Homily – 19th Sunday Ordinary Time

| Fr. Joe Gibino

How many of us have ever used the phrase, “It’s like rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic.” How many of us have that sinking feeling. A good amount of the time that the ship is going down or that we’re in over our heads? In what? What’s over our heads? Well, usually our association is with water.

After last night’s storm, water can cause serious trouble, especially if you live in Queens County right now. But what we always know is that there is hope. Even though the waters may seem rough at times, even though we think we’re in over our heads, don’t we know that there is always someone there to throw us the lifeline?

Homilies

Homily – Feast of the Transfiguration

| Fr. Joe Gibino

Just to let you know, midway through the Gloria, I remembered James’s name.

So the stroke was a little premature, but there is a popular expression right now that I truly find interesting, and that expression very often is heard when anyone walks into a major department store.

If you walk in the wrong entrance and by the wrong entrance, I mean the one by the women’s perfume counter, there is someone there to spray you automatically.

The atomizer is are out and they ask, Do you want to make over?

Make over? Now, most people that I asked to say they do not like change.

Now the good Catholic reply is, Well, it depends.
