Über diesen Titel

Each month, Catholic deacon Bill Ross delivers homilies based on the Sunday Mass Scripture readings – connecting the Word of God to the lives we actually live.

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.

Whether you're looking to deepen your faith, understand Scripture better, or simply hear God's message through a more relatable lens, these homilies meet you where you are.

Deacon Bill preaches from St. Mary, Mother of God Parish in Middletown, New Jersey.

  • Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear

    Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
    Oct 14 2025

    "Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear." You've seen that warning on every car mirror – but what if it applied to God?

    In this Ascension Sunday homily, Deacon Bill explores the apostles' bewilderment when Jesus ascended into Heaven. One moment they're watching Him disappear into the clouds, feeling abandoned and alone. The next, they're filled with joy. What changed?

    The answer: they realized Jesus hadn't left them at all. He was closer than they could imagine – living right inside their hearts.

    Deacon Bill explains how the same seeds Jesus planted in the apostles are planted in us through Scripture and the sacraments. And just like the apostles at Pentecost, we're called to let the Holy Spirit activate those seeds and share our faith with joy.

    The next time you glance at your side mirror, remember: God is closer than He appears.

  • What if your Apple Watch could help you get to Heaven?

    What if your Apple Watch could help you get to Heaven?

    What if your Apple Watch could help you get to Heaven?

    In this homily, Deacon Bill uses the Activity App as an unexpected metaphor for spiritual life. Just as the watch tracks your steps and reminds you to stay active, what if we had a "Heaven App" that kept our eternal goal front and center throughout the day?

    Drawing from Ecclesiastes, Colossians, and Luke's Gospel about the rich fool, Deacon Bill explores why we spend so much energy accumulating earthly treasures we can't take with us – and challenges us to shift our focus to what really matters to God.

    The good news? We already have the most powerful "app" available: the Holy Spirit. Deacon Bill offers practical ways to use everyday reminders to refocus on building treasures that last forever.

  • Why does God allow evil in the world?

    Why does God allow evil in the world?
    Oct 13 2025

    Why does God allow evil in the world? And why doesn't He just step in and stop it?

    These are questions we all wrestle with. In this homily, Deacon Bill reveals that God actually answers them directly in today's Scripture readings. The catch? We've been hearing these passages for years without really listening to what He's telling us.

    Join Deacon Bill as he tackles one of faith's toughest questions with fresh insight and practical wisdom.
