The homilies and reflections of a young Byzantine Catholic priest trying to figure it all out!

Fr. Luke is a priest of the Byzantine Catholic Archeparchy (Archdiocese) of Pittsburgh, and serves as administrator of St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church in Weirton, WV and St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church in Avella, PA. He can often be found at such fine institutions as Tudor's Biscuit World, Osaka Japan, and Chico Fiesta, all in Weirton.

Being a serious Christian means that we'll be rejected by the world. But the world is a dumpster fire, so is that really a bad thing? This was my homily for the Sunday after the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, preached at St. Pius X Byzantine Catholic Church in the Carrick neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
