Archbishop Aquila's Podcast

Homilies by the Archbishop of northern Colorado.

Witness to Christ, No Matter the Cost. 10/25/2024

Witness to Christ, No Matter the Cost. "His disciples will suffer with Him." Archbisop Aquila addresses the congregation of St. Mary's in Breckenridge at a mass installing their new pastor, Father Erik. In the Gospel readings, Jesus speaks to the sons of Zebedee who candidly ask the Son of God for a seat at His right and left hand when He comes into power, maybe not fully understanding that Jesus' victory will not be the toppling of Rome which the Israelites so hoped for. Today, we Christians truely are called to share in Jesus's victory: a victory which is not of this world, a victory which is in His Crucifixion and Resurrection. As the politics and sentiments of today's age seem to shift further and further from God's will, we must be ready to suffer and remain faithful to Jesus Christ, choosing His will over our own.

Called to Zeal: Following Christ to the Father 10/16/2024

Called to Zeal: Following Christ to the Father On the 100th anniversary of St. Ignatius Parish in Denver, Archbishop Aquila preached on the "living stones" that make up the Church of God, and which have made up St. Ignatius over the last 100 years. As living stones, we Christians are called to emulate the zeal for the house of God that Jesus himself had, as the Gospel from the 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time tells us. When we grow in zeal like Jesus did, we follow him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life closer to the Father. /episode/index/show/archden/id/33489562
