Listen to Fr. Miguel, from the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word, as he delivers powerful homilies from the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama, a Catholic sanctuary founded by Mother Angelica. Rooted in Franciscan spirituality, these sermons bring Scripture and the Eucharist to life, offering practical faith insights to inspire your spiritual journey.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus Revealed to St. Margaret Mary
On the Feast of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Fr. Miguel reflects on the intense revelations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. St. Paul longs for all of us to know “the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.” St. Margaret Mary was chosen to make that love known to the world.
Jesus told her that His Heart is so inflamed with love for mankind that He can no longer contain its flames. Yet what He often receives in return is coldness, indifference, and contempt — something He said is more grievous to Him than all He endured in His Passion.
Fr. Miguel connects this to St. Teresa of Avila’s famous line “Solo Dios basta” (God alone suffices) and invites us to respond with reparation: thanking God for His mercy, offering our prayers (including the Divine Mercy Chaplet) in atonement for our own past negligence and for the ingratitude of others.
A moving call to grow in love of the Sacred Heart so that one day we can truly say, “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.”
St. Margaret Mary, pray for us.

Living According to the Flesh or According to the Spirit
In this clear and direct homily, Fr. Miguel reflects on St. Paul’s teaching that there are two ways to live: according to the flesh or according to the Spirit. He lists the works of the flesh — immorality, impurity, jealousy, selfishness, and more — and the stern warning that those who live this way will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Contrasted with these are the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We have complete freedom to choose which path we walk. Confession, prayer, and adoration help us turn from the flesh to the Spirit, but change is never overnight. Even St. Francis needed 20 years of conversion.
Jesus was especially stern with the Pharisees because they should have known better and given good example, yet lived according to the flesh. Mother Angelica reminds us that holiness is not merely knowing about the faith — it is living it.
A practical call to examine our lives and choose the way of the Spirit.

Following Our Lady’s Fiat
In this inspiring homily, Fr. Miguel reflects on the two-fold blessing of the Blessed Virgin Mary: her natural privilege as the Mother of God and her supernatural joy as the first and greatest disciple who hears the Word of God and keeps it. Drawing on insights from St. John Henry Newman, St. Augustine, and Mother Angelica, Fr. Miguel explains why Our Lady’s greatest blessedness lies in her radical obedience and total "Fiat"—her willingness to observe God's commands in every circumstance. He reminds us that true faith is built on a solid foundation, calling us to be active "doers of the Word" rather than mere listeners. By imitating Mary’s faithful obedience and surrendering our daily lives to God's will, we too are invited to share in the eternal blessing promised to all faithful disciples of Christ.
