25 mars 2026 – Annonciation du Seigneur
Isaïe 7,10-14; Hébreux 10,4-10; Luc 1,26-38

H O M É L I E

          En cette fête de l’Annonciation du Seigneur, neuf mois avant la prochaine fête de la Nativité, nous célébrons le moment de la conception de Jésus dans le sein de Marie, -- le premier moment de l’existence humaine de Dieu. Cet instant, qui divise toute l’histoire humaine en deux grandes périodes – celle d’avant le Christ et celle d’après la naissance du Christ – fait, dans l’Évangile, l’objet de diverses annonces, ou « annonciations ».

March 25, 2026 - Annunciation of the Lord

Isaiah 7:10-14; Hebrews 10:4-10; Luke 1:26-38

Homily

          On this feast of the Annunciation of the Lord, nine months before the next feast of the Nativity, we celebrate the moment of Jesus' conception in Mary's womb - the first moment of God's human existence. This moment, which divides the whole of human history into two great periods - that before Christ and that after Christ's birth - is, in the Gospels, the subject of various announcements, or "annunciations".

24 March 2026 - Tuesday 5th week of Lent

Nb 21, 4-9; Jn 8, 21-30

23 mars 2026 -- Monday of the 5th week of Lent

Dan 13:1-9:15-17:19-30:33-62; John 8:1-1

Homily of the adulteress

If your heart condemns you, God is greater than your heart, and He knows everything’ - when John wrote this in one of his Letters, he was probably thinking of the scene he recounts in today's Gospel.

22 March 2026 -- Fifth Sunday of Lent ‘A’

Ezekiel 37:12-14; Romans 8:8-11; John 11:1-45

The Raising of Lazarus (John 11:1-45)

          Two editorial levels can easily be distinguished in this passage from John’s Gospel. The original narrative was an account of the raising of Lazarus, the greatest of the miracles performed by Jesus. When John decided to insert this account at a crucial moment in Jesus’ life—that is, at the end of his ministry and the beginning of his passion—he transformed it. What now lies at the heart of the narrative is no longer the miracle itself, but rather Jesus’ dialogue with Martha.
