I’m posting here a few of the homilies I’ve given over the past 30-plus years as a Roman Catholic deacon at St. David the King Parish in Princeton Junction, NJ. I am grateful to this parish for being my home for so many years. In addition to parish ministry and prison outreach, I also offer spiritual direction to individuals from a variety of faith backgrounds. A few years ago I retired from a long career in the publishing/media world, including more than a decade as publisher of Commonweal.
You’ll notice that there are many Sundays and feasts for which I haven’t posted anything. Those may be days that for whatever reason I haven’t preached on yet – or, I once wrote something and now can’t imagine I ever thought it was any good, and therefore haven’t posted it.
I’m eager to hear from other people who have homilies they might like to share, or comments on what I’ve written. Feel free to write to me.
I’ve also written about the permanent diaconate in a few places: There is a chapter about the working life of deacons in The Deacon Reader, and this reflection on the diaconate in Commonweal. I have also self-published a booklet intended for use in parish baptism preparation programs.
