How This Website Works

This website is designed to help preachers prepare authentic, impactful Sunday homilies. This begins with personal preparation that includes DAILY PRAYER and diligent study.

Sunday Planner

This foundational sectional delivers an overview of the upcoming Sunday mass. Videos from Jeff Cavins, Bishop Golka, Cardinal Luis Tagle, and others offer a variety of ways to look at the scriptural readings. You will also find coordinated music suggestions to align your parish hymns with the day’s theological themes, as well as practical, proclamation tips for lectors to help deliver the Word with clarity, reverence, and power.

Scriptural Commentary

Turn here for in-depth exegesis, theological reflection, and robust historical context, featuring an extensive selection of Catholic commentaries paired with concrete pastoral applications. Each week includes a transcript of scholarly insights from Fr. Francis Martin, delving deeply into the spiritual sense of the Word. To further enrich your understanding of the readings, curated links direct you to the commentaries of trusted Catholic teachers and scholars, including Fr. Tim Peters, Hector Molina, Dr. Brant Pitre, Kevin Aldrich, and Fr. Geoffrey Plant.

Fr. Tony’s Homilies

Discover practical preaching resources designed to bring the Word to life, including compelling opening stories, exegesis, and pastoral reflections that bridge the Sunday readings with daily experience. This section highlights creative cultural and historical connections—drawing insightful parallels from cinema, television, commercials, and modern life to illuminate timeless theological truths.

TWTW Catholic Assistant

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT chatbots are not for everyone and therefore if you choose to ignore it, that’s okay. We call it the “Catholic assistant.” You can find it in the bottom right hand corner of every page. It has been specifically trained to interact with visitors to the website who want to make their time on the site more engaging and informative. What sets the chatbot apart is its deep grounding in Catholic teaching and scriptural interpretation. It has been carefully trained with reliable sources and expert guidance to ensure its responses are as accurate as possible.

Rather than focusing on where the Ten Commandments should be on public display, Bishop Dolan invites us to ponder where they should always remain: on our mind, lips and hearts — and above all in the way we live. Evangelization means becoming a living sign of love for others to see.

HOMILY PREP

Love God with your all,
Love your neighbor as yourself;
All the Law hangs here.
