REDHAWK CATHOLIC (Newman Catholic -MSU)

"Jesus never said, 'I’ll be with you when your doubts disappear.' He said, 'I am with you always.' In the storm. In the exhaustion. In the questions. What are you clinging to right now?" @FatherJimChern homily for today, the Ascension of the Lord: homilyonthespot.com/2026/05/15/dou…

Everyone wants to be 'great'... but on whose terms? God promises greatness - but it came through trust, sacrifice, and the Cross not shortcuts This Lent, what are you clinging to that blocks following Him fully? @FatherJimChern homily from tonight: homilyonthespot.com/2026/02/27/mak…

Jesus isn't grading on a curve He's calling us deeper Beyond just avoiding the big sins, to what's really in our hearts: anger, lust, half-truths, compartmentalized lives. @FatherJimChern pre-Lent homily challenges us to step into real conversion: homilyonthespot.com/2026/02/13/bey…

"That is what Jesus does. Not gently offering tips for living your best life. Not saying, Just try harder. But stepping into the wreckage of humanity and saying, You need help. And I am here to give it." from @FatherJimChern first Homily for the Semester homilyonthespot.com/2026/01/16/not…

"God enters the world without choosing sides, without endorsing an agenda, and without granting us control over Him." The Holy Family won't fit in your argument. That's exactly why the manger still unsettles us 2,000 years later. @FatherJimChern homily: homilyonthespot.com/2025/12/27/wea…
