Fraternal Correction From the 8am Mass at Our Lady of Sorrows on Sunday, September 6, 2020. Fr. Dave preaches that fraternal correction--one of the must difficult things to do!--is actually one of the highest forms of charity. When we correct a brother, we invite him out of his error and toward the truth, and, of course, the Truth is Jesus. Don't be afraid to invite people into the hands of Jesus. Don't be afraid to correct a brother. Don't be afraid to have charity. /episode/index/show/frdave/id/15926849

A Sacramental View of Reality 08/31/2020

A Sacramental View of Reality "Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect" (Romans 12:2). In an effort to help the faithful with the renewal of their minds, Fr. Dave offers a "sacramental view" of reality. Such a worldview sees beyond the surface, and gets to the heart of things. We often miss so much! In this vein, Fr. Dave also explains the Kerygma, that is, the Gospel in a nutshell. Just what is it that we Christians believe? /episode/index/show/frdave/id/15819434

As the Western World Rots from Within, Stay Close to Christ In this homily from the 8am Mass on August 2, 2020 at Our Lady of Sorrows, Fr.
