Archbishop Weisenburger’s Sunday Homily Reflections
Weekly homily reflections from the Archbishop of Detroit, Edward J. Weisenburger.
A Relationship of Perfect Love | 5/31/26
Think of your happiest memory. Does it involve love, or isolation? In this homily reflection for May 31, 2026, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Archbishop Weisenburger reminds us that we are made in the image of God, who is a community of perfect love between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Because of this, we find ourselves most fully alive when we reflect that love to others.
The Birth of the Church | 5/24/26
On the first Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended not upon ornate basilicas or powerful cardinals, but upon ordinary people gathered in faith. Two thousand years later, that same Spirit is still at work among us, calling ordinary believers to become courageous witnesses to Christ.
Until the End of the Age | 5/17/26
At Mass this weekend, May 17, 2026, Ascension Sunday, we hear that the disciples still wrestled with doubt. And yet, Jesus entrusted them with His mission and a promise: “I am with you always.” In this homily reflection, Archbishop Weisenburger shares his prayer that we, like Jesus’ first followers, may also grow in faith, disciple others, and trust in Jesus' enduring presence among us.
The Spirit of Truth | 5/10/26
The saints remind us that an encounter with truth can change everything. In this homily for May 10, 2026, the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Archbishop Weisenburger reflects on Jesus' promise to give that same Spirit of truth to us. May we be ready to give ourselves over to it, so that one day we too can become the saints we were created to be.
The Way to the Father | 5/3/26
In the Gospel for May 3, 2026, the Fifth Sunday of Easter, Jesus assures us that we need not be overcome by fear. He does not simply point out the path, but He walks with us, saying, "I am the way and the truth and the life." May we follow Him to the Father with courage and hope.
