Father Zach Weber Homilies

4th Sunday of Lent - Pandemics: a rare opportunity to spread hope

3rd Sunday of Lent - Breakthrough or break with?

In today’s homily Fr Zach asks, “What is your jug?” “What is that well that keep going back to that is lifeless?” If we surrender everything to Jesus by leaving our jugs behind at the dead wells of life he will move from air, to prophet, to savior. And as we spend time with him we will truly know that hope does not disappoint.

Growing in the Gospel - 3rd Sunday of Lent

In this episode of Growing in the Gospel, Fr Zach looks at the famous encounter of the Samaritan woman at the well in the Gospel of John chapter 4. There is so much going on so get ready to be blown away and to be challenged to never go back to your old way of life. The song is by Joe Zambon and is called “All that I need” - please purchase songs by Joe Zambon, Luke Spehar, and Mike Mangione to support this podcast. Thank you!

2nd Sunday of Lent - I love you more!

This Sunday, Father Zach looks at the Gospel of Matthew 17:1-7 and the transfiguration of Jesus before he goes to Jerusalem. Father Zach talks about a moving story with his grandma where he experienced a transfiguration moment before she passed away. Jesus calls all of his disciples to rise and live without fear! His love and mercy lifts all of Gods sons and daughters into the arms of the father.

Growing in the Gospel - 2nd Sunday of Lent

In this episode of Growing in the Gospel, Fr. Zach dives into Matthew 17:1-9 for the 2nd Sunday of Lent. There is more going on in this Gospel when more deeply studied and pondered upon. The song for this episode is by Mike Mangione and is called Somewhere between.

1st Sunday of Lent - You died for me and I couldn't care less

In my homily for the first Sunday of Lent I look at the importance of never forgetting what Jesus did for us on a tree by undoing the original sin of Adam and Eve who sinned by grasping for fruit on a tree and eating it. Lent is a sobering time to deal with our sins and how much we are like Adam and Eve. Could you look at Jesus on a crucifix right and say to him “you died for me and I couldn’t care less???” I sure hope not. Blessing to you and your community this week. Fr Zach

7th Sunday - thats unusual

In today’s homily I look at how unusual Christians ought to be with Jesus’ charge to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. That’s pretty unusual.

Friends, This week we look at Matthew 5:17-37. A lot to cover because Jesus is not watering down any of his words. Also, I introduce a new musician for the podcast. He will be introduced at the end with His song offering from his album the offering.

5th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Living at the Foot of the Cross

In this Homily I look at St Paul talking about knowing Jesus Christ alone and him crucified - learning how to live from there always in light of St Theresa Of Avila and St. Theresa of Calcutta’s teaching. One way of keeping all of this in perspective is to reflect on the life and death of Kobe Bryant.
