From Taylor Swift to the Wizard of Oz to Weebles that wobble but don't fall down, Deacon Bill uses unexpected references to make ancient truths feel fresh and relevant. These aren't your typical Sunday homilies. They're 10-minute messages that help you hear familiar readings in a whole new way – and give you something practical to take into your week.

  • Manna in the Desert: Hope for the Lonely Heart

    Manna in the Desert: Hope for the Lonely Heart
    9 Jun 2026

    Loneliness is everywhere — even in our pews. In this Corpus Christi homily, Deacon Bill reflects on the song “Lonely People” and how the Eucharist speaks directly into the quiet ache so many carry. As the homily says:

    “Loneliness whispers, ‘You don’t matter.’ The Eucharist answers, ‘You belong.’”

    Through Scripture, the witness of Deacon George, and the promise of Jesus’ real presence, this message reminds us:

    “You are not forgotten. You are not invisible.”

    If you’ve ever felt alone, this one is for you.
