3rd Sunday of Easter - 2012 | The disciple are searching for the "real" Risen Christ. God desires us to know that the resurrection is real. Why do we have struggles in our hearts? We must be more "real" for God to be "real". And in this day, we need real priests, real sisters, and real families. | 5/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

2nd Sunday of Easter - 2012 | Divine Mercy Sunday. When it comes to encountering the Risen Christ, it is necessary that we are present when the disciples gather. This is the lesson of the doubting Thomas. On this day, the Lord has a special means to draw us in, show us mercy, and send us on mission. | 4/16/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

5th Sunday of Lent - 2012 | A voice comes from heaven promising to glorify "it" again. Have we forgotten about heaven? A recent film on St. Philip Neri reminds us that we must prefer heaven to all things. This requires we die and rise in our every day lives. | 3/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

2nd Sunday Ordinary Time - 2012 | Here I Am Lord is not just a popular Catholic hymn, but a musical expression of one of the greatest stories of our Christian heritage. Today we explore just who Eli and Samuel were, and how their story still rings true today. The world needs to hear these stories and sing this song. | 1/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

3rd Sunday of Advent - 2011 | An encounter with Jesus Christ can be as powerful an event as an exploding bomb. Christmas is that kind of encounter. Just as major events in history call forth new leaders, so do major events in the Church and major events in our lives of faith. Who will step up in this generation? What will this Christmas bring? | 12/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

1st Sunday of Advent - 2011 | The First Sunday of Advent 2011 marks the beginning of a new era in the Church. This homily was shared with the Carmelite Sisters of Denmark, WI, as we began this new liturgical year and new translation of the Roman Missal. It highlights four ways we can keep watch this Advent Season. | 11/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King - 2011 | There has always been a tension between the use of informal language and formal language when we pray to God. Is Jesus Christ our king, or our friend? The texts of the 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal highlight Christ's rule as king, without lessening his love and friendship with us as adopted sons and daughters of God. | 11/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

33rd Sunday of Ordinary Time - 2011 | What does it mean to be a useful servant? In the eyes of the world, some of the ways we live our faith might be counted as useless. Yet God calls us to serve in the spiritual realm. Today we examine the vocation of a cloistered Carmelite nun as a way of being a useful servant and showing devotion to the Eucharist. | 11/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

32nd Sunday Ordinary Time - 2011 | Having recently commemorated All Souls Day, we reflect upon what happens when we die. In the Catholic world, we often speak of purgatory. How do we imagine, pray, and hope about the reality of death? | 11/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

31st Sunday of Ordinary Time - 2011 | Priesthood Sunday. Humans have a taste for things that are authentic. We are called to be authentic disciples. St. Paul defines this authenticity for us today in his First Letter to the Thessalonians. A shortage of authenticity leads to a shortage of vocations. Let us be authentic in all we say, do, and live. | 11/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

29th Sunday Ordinary Time - 2011 | What happens when we step out of bounds? How often to we cross out of our proper realm and into the realm of sin? Jesus teaches us today that we must function and serve within our chosen vocation, and give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's. | 11/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

12 |
28th Sunday Ordinary Time - 2011 | Should we shield the children from Jesus' violent parables? Jesus' dramatic parable today is meant to elicit a dramatic response from his audience. Sometimes we must not only imagine Jesus' parables as they are being told, but also imagine the audience he is targeting. | 11/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

13 |
26th Sunday Ordinary Time - 2011 | Doing the will of the Father often means changing what we are doing right now. How resistant we are to change! We expect the world to accommodate to our needs. Rather, the essence of obedience is to accommodate to Christ and the Church. Obedience saved the world. | 11/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

25th Sunday Ordinary Time - 2011 | You cannot calculate God's justice. God's ways are not our ways. Too often we take the robotic, calculated approach to life. When our hearts are activated by the generousity of God, then we are living more fully alive and our ways conform to God's ways. | 9/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

24th Sunday Ordinary Time - 2011 | Today Peter asks about forgiveness. For Peter to ask this question, he necessarily must possess a personal struggle with forgiveness. Rightly then, he approaches Jesus for himself, as well as for the Church. On the anniversary of September 11, 2001, we are asked to step back and reflect upon the radical call to drop anger and un-forgiveness. | 9/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time - 2011 | Jesus Christ is always in our midst and calling us to go deeper into life and love. How often do we miss this reality because we are not aware of God's presence. This Gospel calls us to go deeper, and the story of a priest at a seminary will also help us all go deeper. | 9/5/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time - 2011 | It is a natural human tendency to trade stuff. As we traveled to World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain, it was normal for pilgrims to trade. What if we encountered Jesus Christ in our travels and he offered to trade with us? What could you give in exchange for your life? Take up your cross and follow me! | 8/31/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

19th Sunday of Ordinary Time - 2011 | Peter ventures out to "walk on water". This Gospel narrative captures our imaginations and makes us wonder if we could do the same. What does it take to walk on water? Jesus' encounter with Peter points to a time and place when we will be able to tread upon nature. | 8/31/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

16th Sunday Ordinary Time - 2011 | St. Paul reminds us that "We do not know how to pray as we ought". Given the help of the Holy Spirit, this should not bring us to despair. The real problem is that sometimes we just do not pray at all! Lack of prayer closes us off to the Holy Spirit's workings. Today's message from St. Paul is a call to prayer. Homily is given in conjuction with the 2011 Seminarian Collection. | 7/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity - 2011 | Today we go searching the streets for the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. The Trinity cannot be figured out intellectually; rather, it must be experienced. Today we reflect on the kind of love that helps us experience the Trinity and live in the fullness of God's life and love. | 6/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

6th Sunday of Easter - 2011 | This is a season of boldness. Bold flavors, and bold preaching. The Holy Spirit is the Boldness of God. As we prepare for Pentecost, are we prepared to be as bold as our early ancestors in faith? | 6/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

5th Sunday of Easter - 2011 | Building houses is part of our nature; like birds who build nests. But then again, so is longing to live in God's spiritual household. May we stir up the desire to "be built into a spiritual household" by spending time on our spiritual lives. "In my Father's house there are many dwelling places." | 5/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

4th Sunday of Easter - 2011 | A World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Good Shepherd Sunday. The power of Peter's preaching reveals the power of the Voice of the Good Shepherd. After the Ascension, the Voice of the Shepherd still calls us especially through preaching and prayer. That Voice can cut right into our hearts. | 5/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Homily
This is the best homily next to Fr. Dan Sr.'s
homilies
It is amazing to me to be able to take Fr. Schuster and his homlies with me in my pocket wherever I go. As time goes on with more experience his homilies are humble and realistic. He is a good teacher and listening to ideas from such a young perpective is truly refreshing! I have kids about his age and can really relate to his style and content. I recently had a painful, sleepless night in the hospital, but passed the time listening to Fr.Schuster's words on my iPod and I have to say, it was very comforting. I just love this podcast!!!
Great
