Looking for an encouraging word of faith? Can’t get enough of Fr. Dave Dwyer, CSP, on The Busted Halo® Show on Sirius XM radio? Listen to Fr. Dave’s entertaining, inspiring, and challenging homilies from weekday and Sunday masses.
Thursday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time. Although we may think that God is too busy, rest assured that there is no prayer that is too small, for God’s “sea is never full.” (Preached on Sunday, September 25th, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. What did it mean for Jesus to exalt the cross? What does it mean for us today to exalt the cross? (Preached on Thursday, Friday, September 14th, 2008, 6:00pm, St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
Friday of the Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time.

Preached on Friday, September 12th, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
Thursday of the Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time. The gospel reading today (which is included here) is almost eerily appropriate, as we are reminded by Jesus to indeed love our enemies on this, the 7th anniversary of 9//11. (Preached on Thursday, September 11th, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)

Preached on Thursday, August 15th, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.
Memorial of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, bishop and doctor of the Church. Does Jesus need our faith in order to do mighty deeds? No. And do we need Jesus to do mighty deeds in order to deserve our faith? No. But does our faith and his greatness go hand-in-hand and inspire one another to do good? Yes. Preached on Friday, August 1st, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.

Seventh Sunday of Easter. Admittedly, this homily is a tad “late,” as it is not the Easter season anymore.

Friday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time. Father Dave helps us realize that indeed all Scripture is inspired by God, but that does not mean that all of it is exact fact. Scripture is a mix of poetry, song, images, and stories for God to communicate to us certain messages in order to inspire us to live a life inspired by God. St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Friday, June 6, 2008, 12:15pm Mass.
Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time. Father Dave reminds us to try to see through Jesus’ eyes, so that we may be able to see who needs our help and guidance and charity. St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Sunday, June 15, 2008, 6:00pm Mass.
June 8, 2008. Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. We may think at times that each of us is not good enough, or not pious enough, or not worthy enough to be truly called by God. But Jesus says to us, like he said to Matthew, “Follow me.” Stop making excuses not to follow His calls. St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City. Thursday, June 6, 2008, 12:15pm Mass.
