Fr. Bob Keller, OP

What does it mean to put Christ first in our lives, even above other relationships and societal expectations?

In the Parable of the Banquet, Jesus challenges us to recognize that choosing God is the most important choice make.

Father Bob reflects about Jonah’s call and Jesus’ Parable of the Good Samaritan. He explores Christian vocation as a universal call to care—serving others not because of identity but because we are called to show compassion in simple, concrete ways. A short, encouraging message on being people of hope through everyday love and service.

Father Bob offers a powerful Sunday reflection for Oct 5 (27th week of Ordinary Time) on asking the Lord to "increase our faith." Drawing on Scripture (Timothy) and personal stories, he explains how faith brings power, love, and self-control to stand with integrity in the face of chaos.

Father Bob reflects on Jesus's provocative statement about the children of the world being more shrewd than the children of light. He shares a story about a creative fundraising effort to build latrines in El Salvador, illustrating how we can use worldly resources for the sake of salvation and integrate faith into all aspects of our lives.

Father Bob Keller reflects on the Korean Martyrs and their unwavering faith in the face of persecution.
Drawing parallels with Paul's encouragement to Timothy, he explores what it means to be "good soil" and bear witness to the Gospel in our daily lives. Even small acts of honesty, forgiveness, and trustworthiness can be powerful testimonies in a world that hungers for hope.
