Will Rooney | 4th Sunday of Lent https://frwill.fireside.fm/2026-03-15-envy-the-joy-stealing-sin 7328b52b-5d8e-42f2-96f6-0fadca5c7c7b Sun, 15 Mar 2026 13:00:00 -0500 Fr. William Rooney full 4 Fr. William Rooney On the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Fr. Will reflects on the healing of the man born blind and the deadly sin of envy. Beginning with the reality that inequalities exist in the world, this homily explores how comparison can become fertile soil for resentment, sorrow, and insecurity. Envy twists the desire for joy and communion, making another person’s good feel like our loss. But the Gospel offers a different vision. In Christ, weakness can become the occasion for God’s glory, and the gifts of others can become a cause for rejoicing rather than sorrow. The antidote to envy is not pretending differences do not exist, but becoming secure in the abundant love of God. 13:02 no Key Takeaways Envy is sorrow at another person’s good. Envy twists the desire for joy and friendship. Comparison becomes dangerous when we believe God’s grace is scarce. David and Jonathan model freedom from envy through trust in God. Our weaknesses can become places where God’s glory is revealed. The cure for envy is security in our identity as beloved sons and daughters of God. Description Why do the gifts, success, or blessings of other people sometimes make us sad rather than joyful? In this homily for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Fr. Will reflects on the Gospel healing of the man born blind and connects it to the deadly sin of envy. Envy is not simply wanting what someone else has. More deeply, it is sorrow at another’s good — the painful sense that someone else’s blessing somehow diminishes us. This temptation often grows in the soil of insecurity, comparison, and the false belief that God’s love is limited. But the Christian life reveals something different: God’s grace is not a zero-sum game. The gifts of others do not threaten us, and even our own weaknesses can become places where the works of God are made visible. Drawing on the stories of David, Saul, and Jonathan, this homily shows that freedom from envy comes through confidence in God’s love. When we know we are chosen, loved, and guided by the Good Shepherd, we can rejoice in the gifts of others and trust God with our own path.

]]> Rise and Do Not Be Afraid: The Transfiguration, Zeal, and Sloth | Fr. Will Rooney | 2nd Sunday of Lent https://frwill.fireside.fm/2026-03-01 699952f0-9ae2-40ee-a06a-2d85ec865174 Wed, 04 Mar 2026 09:00:00 -0600 Fr. William Rooney full 4 Fr. William Rooney On the Second Sunday of Lent, Fr. Will reflects on the Transfiguration: why Jesus reveals His glory to Peter, James, and John—and how that vision strengthens the disciples against the coming scandal of the Cross. Connecting the Gospel to the Lenten series on the deadly sins, this homily explores sloth (acedia) as “sorrow at spiritual joy,” and calls us to renewed zeal: living our mission, investing in prayer, and loving those closest to us with diligence. 18:45 no Summary On the Second Sunday of Lent, the Church gives us the Transfiguration—every year—because we need what the disciples needed: hope. Fr. Will unpacks why Jesus brings Peter, James, and John up the mountain, and how this glimpse of glory strengthens them for the Passion and the “scandal of the Cross.” From there, the homily connects the Gospel to the Lenten series on the deadly sins, focusing on sloth (acedia): not simply laziness, but a spiritual lethargy that comes from forgetting what we were made for. When we lose sight of heaven, we grow indifferent, distracted, and even frantic—pouring energy into what doesn’t last while neglecting our true mission. The antidote is zeal: remembering that every Christian is called to holiness, and that our vocation is lived out in concrete love—prayer, conversion, and daily sacrifice, especially toward the people closest to us. Key takeaways The Transfiguration strengthens hope: Jesus shows both who He is and what we are made for. Jesus prepares the disciples “against the scandal of the Cross.” Sloth (acedia) is not merely laziness—it's sorrow at spiritual joy and forgetfulness of our mission. Zeal is the opposite of sloth: remembering our vocation and investing in love of God and neighbor. Holiness begins “here”: in our homes, our parish, and the relationships God has entrusted to us.

]]> Where’s Jesus? At the Tomb | Homily for the Fifth Sunday of Lent | Fr. Will Rooney https://frwill.fireside.fm/2024-03-17 c21cf1c0-eb80-4683-a7fc-1bbfef43b19e Sun, 17 Mar 2024 15:00:00 -0500 Fr. William Rooney full 3 Fr. William Rooney Friends, in our own way, we have all been in this situation where hope seems to fade away. God is seemingly silent during human suffering and misery. On a grand worldwide scale, and on the small personal scale – we all experience the four days of the tomb. God is not in fact, absent but sometimes he works silently. God so loves us brothers and sisters that he refuses to let death have the last say. God so loves us that he sends his only beloved Son, to die for us and rise from the dead, that all who believe in him might have eternal life. He dies to prove to us how much God loves us. Jesus comes not simply to heal us a little bit, but to raise the dead to new life. 15:28 no Catholic, faith, mass Where's Jesus? Outcast | Homily for the Fourth Sunday of Lent | Fr.

William Rooney To live with the knowledge of having encountered Christ means that we realize the immensity of the task before us, because we like the blind man cannot stay silent. Part of the man’s healing was to walk through the city with mud on his eyes, and then to return healed so that all could see him. And immediately, people begin to question him. So also, as people will inevitably question any Christian with the courage to live according to the new law of Christ. If we are willing to live according to the new law of grace, we will draw many people to also encounter him. 15:27 no Catholic, faith, mass Where’s Jesus?

William Rooney full 3 Fr. William Rooney Where's Jesus been in your life this week? How are you doing in allowing him to teach you how to resist temptation like he taught in the Gospel 2 weeks ago? Are you thinking of heaven? What about sacrifice and glory? In this week's message (only in audio), we find ourselves near a well in Samaria, longing for lasting joy. Often, we seek worldly pleasures to quench our thirst, forgetting that only Christ offers living water. Despite our misguided pursuits, He thirsts for our souls, offering fulfillment beyond earthly desires. As we hear His call, let us not harden our hearts, for He alone can satisfy our deepest longings. 13:10 no Catholic, faith, mass Glory and Sacrifice | Homily for the Second Sunday of Lent | Fr.

William Rooney Each Sunday in Lent we will ask "Where's Jesus?" so that we can be with him and imitate him. Today, we are on Mount Tabor, and Jesus teaches we are called to glory. In the very act of showing us the end, Jesus also shows us that the glory of the Resurrection only comes about through sacrifice. And that the sacrifice of faith, the sacrifice which God asks of us, requires some sort of death. 14:03 no https://stmarytempletx.org/news/2024-02-25 Catholic, faith, mass https://stmarytempletx.org/news/2024-02-25
