Archbishop Weisenburger’s Sunday Homily Reflections

Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well reminds us that true discipleship often calls us away from our comfort zones. In this homily reflection for March 8, 2026, the Third Sunday of Lent, Archbishop Weisenburger suggests that if we are to be faithful to the Gospel, we must go out to the Samarias of our world and accompany those on the margins with compassion and courage.

Abraham went up the mountain in fear and came down a man of deeper faith. The Apostles went up in uncertainty and came down strengthened for their journey to Jerusalem. In this homily reflection for March 1, 2026, the Second Sunday in Lent, Archbishop Weisenburger says that God is calling us to climb our own mountains, too, so we can return strengthened for the journey ahead.

Crude words, judgement of others, and malicious negativity have no place in the life of a disciple. In this homily reflection for February 22, 2026, the First Sunday in Lent, Archbishop Weisenburger invites us to consider fasting from language that harms our relationship with God and our neighbors. In doing so, we allow Christ to shape our hearts more closely to His own.

In this homily reflection for February 15, 2026, the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Archbishop Weisenburger continues our journey through the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus challenges us to move beyond external acts of religion to examine our interior motivations. True faith, we learn, wells up from a heart redeemed by God's love.

Salt flavors and preserves, while light illuminates the path ahead. In this homily reflection for the Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time, February 8, 2026, Archbishop Weisenburger explores Jesus' call for us to be the "salt of the earth" and "light of the world," so that others might taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
